Claude Code Power User: Skills, Subagents & Automation
The advanced track for extending and automating Claude Code. Go beyond the basics to author Agent Skills, build and orchestrate subagents, wire deterministic hooks, connect MCP servers, package plugins, and run Claude Code headless and in GitHub Actions. Every command, file path, and setting is verified against the current official documentation.
What You'll Learn
- Author Agent Skills with progressive disclosure, dynamic context injection, arguments, and subagent forking
- Build and orchestrate subagents with scoped tools, models, MCP servers, and persistent memory
- Wire deterministic hooks for auto-formatting, guardrails, and definition-of-done gates
- Connect and secure MCP servers across stdio, HTTP, and SSE transports and the right scopes
- Run Claude Code programmatically with headless JSON output and the GitHub Action in CI
Prerequisites
- Comfortable using Claude Code interactively (the Claude Code Mastery beginner course or equivalent experience)
