Track C · Mastering Claude

From chat to custom agents.

Who it's for

Anyone who has picked Claude as their primary AI. Comfort with a browser and a file system is enough — a paid Claude plan is required.

Outcome

You can drive Claude across chat, desktop (Cowork), browser (Claude in Chrome), and terminal (Claude Code). Write your own skills, wire up MCP connectors, ship polished HTML presentations, and run agents that do real work while you sleep.

Prerequisites

A paid Claude plan (Pro or higher), Chrome installed, willingness to install Claude Code for two sessions.

Level 1 Foundations 3 sessions · 60 min
01

Meet Claude Model family · Character · Safety

Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku — when to reach for each, what makes Claude different, and the gap between Pro, Max, and Team.

02

The Claude App End-to-End Chat · Projects · Artifacts

What each surface is for, web vs. desktop vs. mobile, and turning a rough idea into a shareable Artifact in one session.

03

Prompting Claude Specifically XML · Prefills · Directness

What Claude responds to, controlling personality without losing quality, and when extended thinking helps or just burns tokens.

Level 2 Claude Beyond Chat 3 sessions · 90 min
04

Cowork: Claude on Your Desktop Files · Connectors · Live artifacts

Selecting folders, running code, and connecting Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Notion — building a live morning-briefing artifact.

05

Claude in Chrome: The Browser Agent Reading · Forms · Multi-tab

Installing the extension safely and finding where the browser agent beats Cowork or plain chat — automating a task you actually do.

06

Claude Code & the Agent SDK Terminal · Hooks · Sub-agents

Terminal-native Claude reading a repo, planning, and editing files — with hooks, slash commands, and custom sub-agents.

Level 3 Extending Claude 4 sessions · 90 min
07

Skills: Teaching Claude Your Way of Working SKILL.md · Sharing · Marketplace

What a skill is and how discovery works — writing a personal skill for your voice or checklist and shipping it to your team.

08

MCP: Connecting Claude to Your Tools Registry · Custom servers

What MCP is and how it differs from plain APIs — finding, installing, and building a minimal custom MCP server.

09

Making Presentations With Claude HTML decks · reveal.js · Animated concepts

HTML decks instead of PowerPoint — prompting Claude to write on-brand, animated slides and shipping a 10-slide deck end-to-end.

10

Scheduled Agents & Multi-Step Automation Cron · Computer use · Guardrails

Daily briefings, weekly digests, and watch-and-alert patterns — shipping one scheduled agent that does a real job every morning.

Level 4 Capstone 1 session · 2 hrs
11

Ship a Claude-Powered Artifact Peer review · Second-opinion clinic

A personal agent, a live dashboard, a deck workflow, or a skill package for your team — reviewed in a second-opinion clinic.

Signature session

The decks on this site were built with Claude.

Session 09 teaches the exact workflow — HTML + reveal.js + a themed CSS system — so you can prompt Claude to produce on-brand, animated presentations without ever opening PowerPoint again.
