What Mastering Claude Code covers

A hands-on course for developers and technical teams who want to stop fighting their AI coding assistant and start engineering it. Learn to configure CLAUDE.md files, build reusable skills, deploy isolated agents, and wire deterministic hooks.

This course is designed for professionals who need to move from AI curiosity to useful implementation. The lessons focus on the workflows, risks, data requirements, governance questions, and ROI arguments that teams need before putting AI into production.

Each module is written as a working guide rather than a theory note. You can read it end to end, share individual lessons with colleagues, or use the module sequence as the outline for an internal workshop.

What you’ll learn

The 6-layer customisation hierarchy
CLAUDE.md, rules, skills, agents, hooks, MCP
CLAUDE.md and rules
File locations, imports, path-specific loading, decomposing bloat
Building skills
On-demand recipes with shell injection, auto-triggering, and string substitutions
Building agents
Isolated specialists with tool restrictions, worktree isolation, and persistent memory
Skills inside agents
The compounding pattern: Restricted Reviewer, Codebase Navigator, Safe Test Writer, Parallel Pipeline
Hooks and guardrails
Deterministic enforcement that Claude cannot ignore

Outcomes

  • Explain where AI can help your team, and where it can’t, without overstating what the technology can do.

  • Identify the data, privacy, workflow, and governance constraints that determine whether an AI use case is ready for production.

  • Build a clear business case using operational metrics, implementation costs, and measurable outcomes.

  • Create a practical next-step plan that connects the course material to a pilot, internal training session, or stakeholder discussion.
