Claude Code Masterclass: Skills, MCP, Hooks & Plugins

Most people use Claude Code as a smarter autocomplete. This course shows you what it can actually do.

Claude Code isn't just a coding assistant. It's a platform you can teach, connect, and control — and once you know how, it stops being a chat window and starts doing real work inside your projects.

This course takes you from your very first terminal command to building custom Skills, connecting MCP servers, setting up hooks and guardrails, and packaging everything into plugins your whole team can use.

How this course works

Every concept is taught with a working demo you can follow along with. You'll write real SKILL .md files, build Python tools that Claude Code calls directly, configure hooks that control what it's allowed to do, and connect it to external systems through MCP. Nothing here is theory — you'll see it running.

The course also covers two audiences that usually need separate courses. If you're a developer, you'll work through spec-driven builds, debugging sessions, and pull request reviews on real code. If you work in a technical role but don't code every day, you'll learn to pull insights from dashboards, track customers across channels, and assemble pitch decks — using the same building blocks, applied to different work.

What you'll walk away with

• Custom Skills — turn repeatable work like reports, reviews, and refactors into a single command

• MCP connections — give Claude Code access to your own APIs, scripts, and data sources

• Your own tools — write Python that Claude Code calls directly to do exactly what your work needs

• Hooks and guardrails — control precisely what Claude Code can run, edit, and access

• Shareable plugins — package your setup so your whole team works to the same standards

• Real scenarios — apply all of it to actual developer and business problems, start to finish

Who I am

I've 15+ years of experience in AI/ML, Gen AI, Agentic AI, Data Engineering. The patterns in this course come from my vast experience and from teaching these tools to engineers at scale.

Before you start

You don't need any prior Claude Code experience. You will need a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription, or minimal API credits, if you wish to do the hands on.

Ready to start?

Claude Code changes how you work the moment you stop treating it as a chat box. By the end of this course, you'll have built the Skills, tools, hooks, and plugins that make it genuinely yours.
