This is a live, instructor-led workshop: three focused hours of running real work through Claude, with stretch labs and resources to keep going after. By the end, you’ll operate the full stack: projects, context, connectors, skills, and judgment.
What you’ll walk away with

The right model for the taskThinking, tool use, and the agentic loop, matched to the work in front of you.
Real work, end to endDeep research, analysis, docs, and decks inside the tools you already use.
Work that compoundsProjects, Artifacts, and briefs that outlive a single chat window.
Your tools, connected safelyConnectors, Cowork, and MCP with least privilege as the default.
Something shippedYour first skill, and the judgment to know when an agent is worth it.

Ground rules
No question is too dumbIf you are wondering it, three other people in the room are too. Ask.
Interrupt me wheneverThis is a workshop, not a webinar. Stop me the moment something does not click.
Steal everythingEvery page, lab, and template here is yours. Copy it, remix it, use it at work tomorrow.
How to move through the material
01Live, togetherThe sidebar is one continuous flow and we walk it top to bottom. I set the pace and demo every surface.
02Slow down on labsWhen we hit a lab, the talking stops. You do the work, on your real stuff, with me in the room.
03Keep it afterThe site stays up. Skip what you know, revisit what you don’t, and run the stretch labs when ready.
