What is it?

This is a structured learning guide for Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal coding agent. It is split into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels, each made of short lessons, a capstone project and optional electives. Topics include permission modes and plan mode, project memory through CLAUDE.md, custom skills, hooks, subagents, MCP servers, plugins, parallel sessions with git worktrees, headless use with claude -p, and GitHub Actions.

Every core lesson ends with a check run from a practice copy, such as npm run check -- b-1, which prints PASS or FAIL with a hint. A companion terminal app, started with npm run learn, walks through the Beginner and Intermediate lessons step by step and tapers its help as skills develop. The guide is stamped with the Claude Code stable version its claims were checked against.

The project is an independent community guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
