The Problem Every Developer Has

You installed Claude Code. You typed a prompt. You got… something. Maybe it worked. Maybe it was garbage. You had no idea why.

That is not a tool problem. It is a workflow problem.

Most developers use AI coding tools like a slot machine β€” pull the lever, hope for the best. I built this course to give you the system that makes every pull a winner.

What Makes This Different

This is not a β€œwatch me type prompts” tutorial. It is a production workflow distilled into 59 minutes:

  • 🎯 One mindset β€” Treat Claude Code like a sharp junior engineer you direct and review
  • πŸ”„ One loop β€” Plan β†’ Implement β†’ Test β†’ Review β†’ Commit
  • πŸ—οΈ One project β€” You build a real app module by module, not toy examples

After 8 published technical books, 1,300+ articles, and months of shipping production code with Claude Code daily β€” this is the workflow I wish someone had given me on day one.


The Full Curriculum

πŸš€ Section 1: Introduction

3 min β€” Meet your instructor and understand why the β€œsharp junior engineer” mindset changes everything.


🧠 Section 2: Foundations β€” Setup, Prompting and Brain Files

Setup and AI-First Mindset (9 min)

Install and configure Claude Code on macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL2). Learn to pick the right model for the job:

ModelUse Case
SonnetDaily implementation work
OpusArchitecture and design decisions
HaikuBulk operations, file processing

Then internalize the loop: Plan β†’ Implement β†’ Test β†’ Review β†’ Commit.

Prompting Like a Tech Lead (7 min)

A great prompt is a spec. Learn the GCOE framework:

G β€” Goal: What you want (one sentence)
C β€” Constraints: What it must NOT do
O β€” Output format: Exactly how it should look
E β€” Examples: One golden example

Every constraint you add deletes one wrong guess Claude could make. We build a command-line task manager from a single well-structured prompt β€” turning plausible-but-fragile output into code you can actually merge.

CLAUDE.md Brain Files (7 min)

Stop re-explaining your stack every single prompt.

Author a CLAUDE.md β€” a behavior file, not documentation β€” with five sections that earn their place:

  1. Stack β€” What you are building with
  2. Conventions β€” How you name things, format code
  3. Commands β€” How to run, test, deploy
  4. Do-not β€” Hard rules (never touch X, always use Y)
  5. Glossary β€” Domain terms Claude gets wrong

Have Claude draft it from your real repo. Trim it with the β€œtrim test” β€” if removing a line does not change Claude’s output, delete it. Prove in a fresh chat that Claude silently obeys your rules without being asked.


⚑ Section 3: Create Code That Works

Best-of-N Selection (9 min)

The first answer is rarely the best. Stop shipping it.

The technique:

  1. Generate 2–3 independent candidates (new conversations)
  2. Score them on a rubric: correctness is the gate, simplicity and fit break ties
  3. Ship the winner with evidence β€” not a gut feeling

We build a Notes API two ways and let the rubric, not our mood, pick the winner. You will never blindly accept the first output again.

Testing and Debugging (8 min)

Untested AI code is a guess.

Generate a real pytest suite that runs in-process against a temp database, covering:

  • βœ… Happy paths
  • ❌ Error paths (the ones Claude skips)
  • πŸ”² Boundaries (empty inputs, huge payloads, Unicode)

Then learn the β€œstranger’s PR” self-review prompt that flips Claude from cheerleader to critic: plant a bug, and watch it name the file, line, and fix in a bug_report.md.

Git Workflows (6 min)

Never let Claude push to main.

The safe AI git flow:

  1. git checkout -b feature/x β€” branch first, always
  2. Split work into atomic Conventional Commits
  3. Generate a PR description from the actual diff β€” never from your prompt
  4. You review. You merge. Claude proposes, you decide.

πŸ–ΌοΈ Section 4: Multimodal (7 min)

Claude reads images, not just text. Feed it:

  • A screenshot of a broken UI β†’ get the CSS fix
  • A design mockup β†’ get the implementation
  • An architecture diagram β†’ get the infrastructure code

Learn when a picture is worth a thousand tokens β€” and how to pair an image with a precise prompt for pixel-perfect results.
