Claude Code 101

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and reads your entire codebase. This course takes you from installation to advanced workflows: you'll learn the agentic loop architecture, how to write effective prompts in approval and auto-accept modes, and how to follow the Explore → Plan → Code → Commit workflow for any feature. We cover CLAUDE.md for persistent project memory, context window management with /compact and /clear, building custom subagents for delegated tasks, connecting MCP servers for external tools, and writing hooks for deterministic control over formatting and validation. By the end, you'll have a complete playbook for using Claude Code solo or across a team.
