Claude Code 101 (Rebuilt June 2026)
Theory is free on our blog. This course is where you ship: 3 guided Labs take you from a live website, to a full-stack app with Stripe payments, to a business automation that pays for the course in saved hours. Around the Labs sits the full 2026 workflow - CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, subagents, parallel agents, and AFK autonomy - practiced on a real open-source codebase, not toy demos. Every config ships in the Template Vault, and the course covers what most others recorded before existed: auto mode, agent view, dynamic workflows, computer use. Rebuilt June 2026, updated continuously.

Quick Start (skip if you're already fluent)
Setup, model selection, permission modes, and the 10 terminal moves that compound across every session.
Part 1 – Steering Claude
The highest-leverage files: LLM constraints, CLAUDE.md's four roles, auto memory, the .claude directory, token economics, and the improvement loop.
Part 2 – Plan & Build: The Labs
Plan mode, PRDs and tracer bullets, research and prototyping - then ship a live website and a full-stack app with payments.
Part 3 – Extend & Automate
Commands, skills, MCP economics, hooks as quality gates, subagents - and a business automation Lab with measured 10x token savings.
Part 4 – Autonomy & Scale
Feedback loops, deep modules, the four parallelism surfaces, AFK autonomy with Ralph loops and sandboxes, security, and your Claude Code operating system.
