Course Outline

09:00 – 09:15 — Welcome & Overview

  • Setting the day’s objectives, verifying technical setup, and introductions

09:15 – 10:00 — Module 1: AI Code Quality & the Plan–Execute–Review Principle

  • Five critical factors that influence outcomes: model selection, codebase context, tooling, prompt precision, and workflow
  • Understanding why decoupling planning, execution, and review stages yields superior results compared to relying on a single prompt
  • A decision-making framework to guide the remainder of the day

10:00 – 10:45 — Module 2: From Autocomplete to Agent: The Claude Code Paradigm

  • How Claude Code distinguishes itself from Copilot, Cursor, and chat-based tools — and why this distinction is significant
  • The agentic cycle: read, plan, act, verify
  • Live demonstration: executing 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, architectural rules, and team conventions
  • Skills and hooks: Developing reusable slash-command workflows and event-driven automation
  • Sub-agents: How Claude Code manages parallel tasks internally
  • MCP: Integrating external tools — such as GitHub, databases, and internal APIs — while maintaining strict security boundaries
  • Hands-on: Configuring Claude Code and tailoring your personal environment

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 and when to redirect
  • Hands-on: Building a real feature from start to finish

13:45 – 14:45 — Case 2: Doing Code Review with Claude Code

  • Structuring a review delegation covering security, design, and performance
  • Conducting multi-file reviews with full traceability — identifying what changed, why, and what requires verification
  • Hands-on: Reviewing actual code submitted by participants

14:45 – 15:45 — Case 3: Designing with Claude Code

  • Generating architecture decisions and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) based on requirements
  • Exploring design alternatives and identifying potential trade-offs
  • Hands-on: Designing a component or feature using Claude Code

15:45 – 16:15 — Recap & Q&A

  • Key takeaways and identifying three concrete actions each participant will commit to implementing
  • Open Q&A session
