Claude Code Mastery

Understand what makes Claude Code fundamentally different from every AI chatbot you have used, what it can actually touch on your computer, and why developers who learn it well build faster.

Install Claude Code on your machine, authenticate with your Anthropic account, and have a real conversation with your codebase for the first time. Every platform covered, first real prompts walked through step by step.

Claude Code forgets everything between sessions — unless you use CLAUDE.md. Learn how to write the file that turns a generic AI into a developer who knows your codebase, your rules, and your team's standards.

Claude Code can do a lot — which is exactly why you need to know how to control it. Learn permission modes, allow/deny rules, and hooks that enforce safety automatically so you never have to babysit every command.

Slash commands are Claude Code's power tools. Learn the built-ins that save you time every day, create your own commands for your workflow, and master /compact to keep long sessions running smoothly without losing progress.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets Claude Code connect directly to GitHub, Slack, databases, Sentry, and more — querying your actual systems in real time instead of requiring you to copy and paste data into the chat.

AI-assisted development is powerful but easy to misuse. Learn the habits that make you faster and safer, the mistakes that cause lost work and broken code, and the mental model that makes everything else click into place.

Claude Code has broad access to your machine by default. This lesson covers the real threat model, concrete protections, prompt injection attacks, and the critical rules every developer must know before running AI on production code.

Claude Code can spawn specialised AI agents to work in parallel on different parts of a task. And with the Agent SDK, you can build this automation into CI/CD pipelines and production applications. This lesson covers both.

Put everything together. This lesson walks through a complete, repeatable workflow that combines CLAUDE.md, settings, permission modes, git branching, and review discipline into a system that works every day without friction.
