Claude Code with a Silicon Valley Engineer (for Developers)

Are you using AI but still typing new prompts every single time? Code is being generated, but are team-level automation and systematization still out of reach? This course is not about learning Claude Code as a "conversation tool." It is a course where you will learn how to design AI as a system using Agents, Sub-agents, Agent Teams, Memory, and Hooks.

Hello. I remember that the things you said during your seminar in Korea a while ago were very helpful. Recently, I went through the official Claude Code documentation and even took a lecture as a review, and it was very helpful once again. Above all, what you said in the last session really stuck with me. Thank you as always.

🎯 Recommended for these people

Developers who use AI every day, but whose productivity does not increase structurally

"I use AI a lot... but why does it always feel like I'm starting over from scratch?"

Senior engineers who want to build team-level automation

I feel like I could turn this into a system... but how should I structure it?

Engineers who feel anxious about their career competitiveness in the AI era

AI is getting better and better... where does my role end?

🚀 After taking the course

  • ✅ You will understand the “structure” of Claude Code, not just its features

  • 🔥 You can turn AI into a reusable system, rather than just using it repeatedly.

  • 🤖 You can create a unique story about how you "designed an AI system."

🎥 Here is what you will learn

Agent · Role-based Design · Workflow · Prompt Architecture · Reusable Structure

  • You will learn how to design Claude not just as a "chat tool," but as a Role-based System.

  • Instead of making a single AI handle everything, you will learn design methods to divide and structure tasks into specific work units.

  • Practice how to automate repetitive tasks by creating reusable prompt structures.

  • Understand the difference between a "well-functioning AI structure" and "unstable AI usage" through comparison.

AI without context = inconsistent reasoning.

Subagent · Division of Labor Structure · Agent Teams · Collaboration Model · Plugin Extension

  • Learn how to create a division of labor for AI using subagents.

  • Design a structure where a single developer operates like a small team through AI.

  • Understand how to divide roles between AIs and synthesize results through Agent Teams.

  • Learn how to expand Claude like a platform using plugins.

  • In an era where AI tools are changing rapidly, we outline a strategy to survive without FOMO.

What Are Agent Teams?

Go beyond being a simple user and become an orchestrator who commands AI.

🤔 Why I created this course

When I first encountered AI, I was amazed. And soon, the following question came to mind.

"Am I going to keep using this only as a prompt every time? Isn't this a matter of design, not conversation?"

When you work in the field for a long time, one principle becomes etched into your mind: If it is not automated, it does not scale.

I reached the same conclusion while using Claude Code.

That using AI well and designing AI as a system are two completely different matters.

So I began to view Claude Code not as a "conversation tool," but as a designable platform.

A structure that can be scaled to a team level by dividing agents based on roles, creating automatic execution with Hooks, maintaining context with Memory, and standardizing Output. This course is a direct compilation of that process.

❓ Do you have any questions?

Q1. I'm already using ChatGPT or Claude well, so do I really need to take this course?

To be honest,
if you feel that writing good prompts is enough,
you might not need this course.

But if you've had these thoughts even once, it's a different story:

  • "I feel like this could be automated..."

  • "Why am I rewriting the same thing every time?"

  • “How should I structure this to introduce it to the team?”

This course does not teach prompt skills.
It covers how to design AI like a system..

It is the process of moving from someone who uses it well
to someone who designs it well.

Q2. Isn't the content too advanced? Will it be difficult to follow?

This course is intended for those with basic development experience.

However, it does not cover difficult content like mathematical formulas.

I explain it by applying the same criteria I use when designing systems in practice to
Claude Code.

Because you will understand
“why it is designed this way” rather than just receiving a “functional description,”
you will be able to follow along much more clearly than you might expect.

Q3. What actually changes after learning this?

The biggest change is this: AI is no longer just a "conversation partner."
It becomes a structure where AI performs the tasks.

In the past:

  • Document writing → Prompting every time

  • Code scaffolding → New request every time

  • Repetitive tasks → New conversation every time

After taking the course:

  • The Agent takes on a role

  • Hooks execute automatically and

  • Memory maintains the context

In other words, the AI behaves like a team member.

    At first, I was a bit worried because Claude Code felt difficult and had a high barrier to entry, but after taking the lecture, I understood why everyone says it's so important. As a senior engineer myself, I am receiving a lot of help because there are many parts that can be applied directly to actual work. What I especially liked was that it didn't just introduce features, but explained step-by-step from the fundamentals why things are used in a certain way. Many AI tool lectures often just skim through features to follow trends, but this lecture didn't feel like that; it explained things in a way that can be utilized for a long time, which was great. You always quickly reflect new tools and trends, yet you maintain a style that doesn't miss the basic principles, so I personally listen with great trust. Also, your previous English lectures helped me a lot when I was preparing for jobs abroad, and I am enjoying this lecture with great satisfaction as well ✨ I would like to recommend this to developers who want to properly utilize AI in their professional work 😊

    It was a lecture where I could learn about the overall features of Claude Code. Now it's time to put it into practice! haha

    • altoformula
      Instructor

      Hello Seulgi Lee, Thank you for leaving such a great review! 😊 With Claude Code, there is a significant difference between simply knowing the features and actually applying them to real-world tasks, and it seems you've now entered the most exciting phase. I recommend starting by applying it to small repetitive tasks or personal projects, and once you get comfortable, try integrating features like MCP, Hooks, Skills, and Agents into your actual development workflow. I am truly glad to hear that the lecture helped you understand Claude Code and implement it in practice. I will continue to return with more AI developer courses that can be directly utilized in the field.

    I felt like I was using Claude Code in a limited way, so I finished the course quickly in just one day. It was a great lecture because I learned about features I didn't know existed and understood the reasoning behind why they should be used that way. Above all, the closing remarks were very impressive. It stuck with me when you said to cultivate a way of thinking rather than just focusing on tools, and that even in Silicon Valley—excluding certain experimental organizations—overhauling entire tech stacks isn't that common. I realized that rushing ahead isn't what's important; ultimately, having a solid foundation is key. Thank you for the great lecture.

      Hello Mak-kim, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Claude Code has many features, but it's often hard to get a feel for how to actually utilize them. I am truly glad that the lecture helped you not only discover new features but also understand the reasoning behind why they are used in certain ways. In particular, thank you for finding the part I mentioned at the end—**"The way of thinking is more important than the tool"**—so impressionable. As you mentioned, while tech stacks and tools constantly change, I believe what ultimately lasts is the fundamentals and the mindset used to approach problems. I feel very rewarded knowing that the lecture was able to convey even a small part of that message. Thank you once again for your kind words, and I will continue to update the content with more helpful information in the future. Thank you! 🙏

    I am not satisfied with the quality of the lecture. Since the lecture consists of simply reading out the PPT documents in English, I stopped halfway through and turned it off because I couldn't listen to it anymore. It seems that being a good developer and being a good teacher are two different things. I felt the exact same way I did back in university when an incompetent professor would just read a few pages from a book and end the class. I get that you are good at English and that we need to prepare for English, but the targeting seems disconnected from reality. People take courses to learn easily because they don't know the subject well, but if you just read the original English text as it is and keep moving on to the next topic... wouldn't it be better to just skip the lecture and read the Korean documents provided on the official Anthropic site sequentially? I was very interested in the instructor's other courses as well, but I don't think I'll be able to take them if they are all like this.

      Hello, ssebong777. First, I would like to apologize for disappointing you by not meeting your expectations. I fully understand the point you raised. Especially from the perspective of someone learning new content for the first time, it could feel like the material is simply being read from English documentation, which I imagine was frustrating for you. However, this course was designed for developers who will actually be working directly with global documentation and development environments, rather than for absolute beginners. Therefore, I structured it to read through the official Anthropic documentation based on the original text as much as possible and explain what it means in a real-world professional context. The PPT is also intended more as a resource for interpreting the official documentation from a practical perspective rather than being a simple summary. In particular, as the course progresses toward the latter half, there is more content related to practical application rather than just document explanation, so if possible, I would appreciate it if you could check out at least the later sections.
