Course Outline

09:00 – 09:15 — Welcome & Overview

  • Overview of the day’s objectives, technical setup verification, and introductions

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

  • Five key factors influencing outcomes: model selection, codebase context, tooling, prompt precision, and workflow design
  • The advantages of separating planning, execution, and review phases over relying on a single prompt
  • A decision-making framework to guide the remainder of the workshop

10:00 – 10:45 — Module 2: From Autocomplete to Agent: The Claude Code Paradigm

  • Distinguishing Claude Code from tools like Copilot and Cursor, and understanding why this distinction is critical
  • The agentic cycle: read, plan, act, verify
  • Live demonstration: executing a multi-file task via a single instruction

10:45 – 12:15 — Module 3: Setup & Personalisation: CLAUDE.md, Skills, Hooks, Agents & MCP

  • CLAUDE.md: encoding project memory, architectural guidelines, and team conventions
  • Skills and hooks: creating reusable slash-command workflows and event-driven automations
  • Sub-agents: understanding how Claude Code internally delegates parallel tasks
  • MCP: connecting external tools — such as GitHub, databases, and internal APIs — while maintaining security boundaries
  • Hands-on session: configuring Claude Code and customising your personal setup

12:15 – 12:45 — Lunch Break

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

  • Delegating implementation tasks with clear context and acceptance criteria
  • Iterating on results: knowing when to accept outputs and when to redirect them
  • Hands-on session: building a real feature from start to finish

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

  • Structuring review delegations focused on security, design, and performance
  • Conducting multi-file reviews with traceability — tracking changes, understanding rationale, and determining verification steps
  • Hands-on session: reviewing actual code from participants

14:45 – 15:45 — Case 3: Designing with Claude Code

  • Generating architectural decisions and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) based on requirements
  • Exploring design alternatives and identifying potential trade-offs
  • Hands-on session: designing a component or feature using Claude Code

15:45 – 16:15 — Recap & Q&A

  • Summary of key takeaways and commitment to three actionable changes for each participant
  • Open Q&A session
