Claude Code Mastery
Go from "AI autocomplete user" to "AI agent architect" in one livestream.
The Problem
You use Cursor. Or Copilot. Or both. You've gotten faster at writing code.
But you're still just using autocomplete with extra steps.
- Your
.cursorrulesfile is ignored half the time - Context resets every session
- You're prompting, not architecting
- AI helps you code, but doesn't know YOUR stack
You're using AI. You're not building with AI.
This course fixes that.
The Transformation
CURSOR/COPILOT CLAUDE CODE
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Single-file autocomplete → Multi-file agents with memory
"Chat in sidebar" → Skills that encode YOUR expertise
.cursorrules (ignored) → CLAUDE.md (sacred architecture)
Generic AI assistant → Domain expert that knows your stack
Every session starts fresh → Compound knowledge across sessions
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Duration: 3.5 hour livestream (built in public) Outcome: Your first Claude Code skill shipped, production setup complete
What You'll Build
| Segment | You'll Ship | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 0. Cold Open | See a working agent demo | 5 min |
| 1. Architecture | CLAUDE.md for your project | 20 min |
| 2. First Skill | Complete skill with SKILL.md | 40 min |
| 3. Plugin Architecture | Agent + command | 35 min |
| 4. MCP Integration | External API connection | 25 min |
| Break | Catch up | 10 min |
| 5. Telemetry | LangSmith tracing | 20 min |
| 6. Guardrails | Safety constraints | 15 min |
| 7. Domain Expertise | Your framework as a skill | 25 min |
| 8. Subagents | Specialist delegation | 15 min |
| 9. Production Setup | Complete, verified setup | 10 min |
| 10. Team Adoption | Rollout playbook | 30 min |
Every segment ends with something you built yourself.
Who This Is For
This course is for you if:
- You use Cursor, Copilot, or similar AI coding tools
- You want to go beyond autocomplete to building agents
- You have domain expertise worth encoding (frameworks, patterns, processes)
- You want your team to adopt AI-assisted development systematically
This course is NOT for you if:
- You've never used AI coding tools (start with basics first)
- You just want faster autocomplete (Cursor is fine for that)
- You don't have a specific domain or codebase to apply this to
Why This Works
1. Live Build, Not Lecture
I build everything live during the stream. You follow along. No slides-only segments.
2. Real Patterns from Production
Every pattern comes from my actual Claude Code setup: 17 custom skills, multiple plugins, LangSmith traces showing real workflows.
3. Encode YOUR Expertise
By the end, you've encoded your own framework/process as a Claude Code skill. Not a toy example—your actual workflow.
4. Team-Ready
The final segment is a complete team adoption playbook. This isn't just personal productivity—it's how you roll out to your org.
The Evidence
This course uses exported LangSmith traces to show exactly how Claude Code works:
| Trace | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Skill Activation | How skills load and route |
| Agent Workflow | Multi-step agent execution |
| MCP Integration | External API calls |
| Subagent Delegation | Specialist handoff |
Not conceptual diagrams. Actual traces from production use.
