Course Outline

09:00 – 09:15 – Welcome & Overview

  • Objectives for the day, technical setup check, introductions

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

  • Five levers that determine your results: model, codebase context, tooling, prompt precision, and workflow
  • Why separating planning, execution, and review yields better outcomes than relying on a single prompt
  • A decision framework to guide you throughout the rest of 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 matters
  • 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: configure Claude Code and personalise your own setup

12:15 – 12:45 – Lunch Break

12:45 – 13:45 – Case 1: Writing Code with Claude Code

  • Delegating implementation tasks with context and acceptance criteria
  • Iterating on results: when to accept and when to redirect
  • Hands-on: implement a real feature end-to-end

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

  • Structuring a review delegation: security, design, performance
  • Multi-file review with traceability – what changed, why, and what to verify
  • Hands-on: review real code from 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: 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
  • Open Q&A
