Claude Code: 0 to 200kph
Who this is for
Section titled “Who this is for”You’ve used AI coding tools before — Copilot, Cursor, Aider, or similar. You know what a coding agent can do. What you need is the Claude-specific knowledge: how its context window works, how to manage it, how skills and subagents save you from context death, and how to build a workflow stack that makes you genuinely fast.
What this is NOT
Section titled “What this is NOT”- Not a “what is AI coding?” tutorial
- Not a theory course on LLMs
- Not a surface-level tour of slash commands
Each module starts with a brief “how it works” mental model, then goes deep on Claude-specific techniques.
The modules (12 modules)
Section titled “The modules (12 modules)”| # | Module | Duration | You Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Install & First Contact | 20 min | Working install + agentic loop understanding |
| 2 | CLAUDE.md | 25 min | Committed CLAUDE.md + path-specific rules |
| 3 | Plan Mode & Thinking | 25 min | Plan-to-implementation workflow + thinking controls |
| 4 | Context Engineering | 30 min | Context management practice + model selection |
| 5 | Daily Workflows | 30 min | 7 workflow patterns on your real codebase |
| You’re productive now. Take a break or keep going. | |||
| 6 | Skills & Marketplace | 35 min | Custom skill + marketplace awareness |
| 7 | MCP & External Tools | 35 min | 2 MCP connections + CLI-vs-MCP judgment |
| 8 | Hooks & Beyond | 35 min | 2 hooks + end-to-end workflow + what’s next |
| 9 | Research & Docs | 35 min | Local reference docs + diamond research pattern |
| 10 | Don’t Trust, Verify | 30 min | Verification patterns that catch mistakes before they ship |
| 11 | Everything Everywhere All at Once | 40 min | Multi-agent workflow design using 8 production patterns |

Total: ~6 hours
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- A real project codebase (not a tutorial project)
- Admin access to install software
- A Claude account with paid plan (free tier works but limits the context window)
- Git installed
- Prior experience with any AI coding tool
