coming in planning
claude code
from your first session to shipping a real api. the daily claude code workflow, from first principles.
16 lessons|5 modules|~4 hours
what you’ll learn
- run claude code with intent: the agent loop, plan mode, auto mode, checkpoints, and the six permission modes
- engineer context with claude.md, memory, compaction, and the effort picker so the agent stays sharp and cheap
- drive the daily loop: sessions and worktrees, a real codebase, /code-review, and pull requests
- work test-first and verify the agent's work instead of trusting it
- run claude code safely in docker and spot a prompt-injection attack before it lands
curriculum
this is a rough curriculum we’re still planning. modules and lessons are likely to shift before any lesson is recorded. want to shape it? mail@karnstack.com.

frequently asked
- when does this launch?
- in planning. the curriculum on this page is a sketch. modules and lessons are likely to shift before any lesson is recorded.
- do i need prior claude code experience?
- no. it starts at install and auth. you should be comfortable coding in some language, but agentic coding is taught from scratch.
- what version does it use?
- it records against current claude code and states the recorded version in each lesson. fast-moving features are re-verified at record time.
