Loops, Not Prompts: Agentic Engineering with Claude Code

Most people use AI coding tools like a smarter autocomplete: type a prompt, read the answer, fix what's wrong, repeat. So you end up as the only quality gate. This course flips it. You'll set up Claude Code so it can check its own work, follow rules that can't be skipped, plan before it builds, split work across subagents and workflows, and run unattended with a budget. Six hands-on exercises, each with a « done when » check and a rubric, plus a final project, all in a real repository.

Objectifs pédagogiques

  • Configure a repository so Claude Code can verify its own changes with a pass/fail check
  • Write a Stop hook, a formatter hook and deny rules, and explain why each one is deterministic
  • Write a custom subagent and a reusable skill, and choose between subagents, skills and workflows
  • Run Claude Code non-interactively with a turn or budget cap and structured output

Public visé

Developers, DevOps and platform engineers, tech leads who already tried Claude Code (or a similar coding agent) and want reliable results instead of lucky ones.

Prérequis

Comfortable with git and a terminal. Node.js 22.6+ (24 LTS recommended) with npm, jq and a bash shell (macOS, Linux, WSL or Git Bash). Claude Code 2.1.295 or later on any paid plan: every exercise works with your subscription login. Optional: an Anthropic API key (platform.claude.com) if you want to try --bare on pages 7–8.

Programme de formation

  1. Why loops beat prompts · 2. Give Claude a check to run · 3. Guidance vs enforcement · 4. Plan, then build, then review · 5. Graphs, not chats: subagents · 6. Dynamic workflows · 7. Running without you · 8. Final project
