Course Outline
09:00 – 09:15 — Welcome & Overview
- Day objectives, technical setup verification, and introductions
09:15 – 10:00 — Module 1: AI Code Quality & the Plan–Execute–Review Principle
- Five key levers that influence outcomes: model selection, codebase context, tooling, prompt precision, and workflow
- The benefits of separating planning, execution, and review phases over relying on a single prompt
- A decision framework to guide activities throughout the day
10:00 – 10:45 — Module 2: From Autocomplete to Agent: The Claude Code Paradigm
- How Claude Code differs from Copilot, Cursor, and chat-based tools — and why this distinction is critical
- The agentic cycle: read, plan, act, verify
- Live demo: driving a multi-file task from a single instruction
10:45 – 12:15 — Module 3: Setup & Personalisation: CLAUDE.md, Skills, Hooks, Agents & MCP
- CLAUDE.md: encoding project memory, architecture rules, and team conventions
- Skills and hooks: creating reusable slash-command workflows and event-driven automation
- Sub-agents: how Claude Code delegates parallel work internally
- MCP: connecting external tools — GitHub, databases, internal APIs — and establishing security boundaries
- Hands-on activity: configure Claude Code and personalise your setup
12:15 – 12:45 — Lunch Break
12:45 – 13:45 — Case 1: Writing Code with Claude Code
- Delegating implementation tasks with clear context and acceptance criteria
- Iterating on results: knowing when to accept outputs and when to redirect
- Hands-on activity: implement a real feature end-to-end
13:45 – 14:45 — Case 2: Doing Code Review with Claude Code
- Structuring a review delegation focused on security, design, and performance
- Conducting multi-file reviews with traceability — understanding what changed, why it changed, and what needs verification
- Hands-on activity: review real code submitted by participants
14:45 – 15:45 — Case 3: Designing with Claude Code
- Generating architecture decisions and ADRs from requirements
- Exploring design alternatives and surfacing trade-offs
- Hands-on activity: design a component or feature with Claude Code
15:45 – 16:15 — Recap & Q&A
- Key takeaways and three concrete changes each participant commits to implementing
- Open Q&A session
Requirements
- Substantial experience in at least one programming language
- Comfortable working in a terminal / command line environment
- Fundamental Git knowledge (commits, branches, pull requests)
- Laptop with internet connection — Claude Pro account required (instructions will be provided upon registration)
