Claude Code learning roadmap
Learn Claude Code by shipping work you can explain and verify.
Move from repository context and safe boundaries to planning, implementation, debugging, testing, and review. The first module is free; the full roadmap turns each concept into an applied developer workflow.

Four-stage path
A Claude Code course built around decisions, not command memorization.
Each stage produces an artifact you could use in real engineering work: a bounded task brief, a control model, a tested change, and an independent delivery review.
01
Free moduleBound the coding task
Give Claude Code enough repository truth and a safe definition of done.
- Read repository guidance and nearby tests
- Separate inspection from mutation
- Define allowed files, non-goals, and approval boundaries
02
Full roadmapControl the workflow
Use scoped instructions, plans, permissions, and hooks to make work predictable.
- Place instructions at the right scope
- Choose when a plan is useful
- Enforce critical rules with permissions, hooks, or tests
03
Full roadmapDeliver with evidence
Implement, test, debug, and review a coherent change without hiding uncertainty.
- Keep the change surface minimal and complete
- Debug from one testable hypothesis
- Review the diff as a product artifact
04
Full roadmapProve independent fluency
Run a complete task and defend the safety, evidence, and trade-offs of the workflow.
- Choose an appropriate workflow without a template
- Show test and review evidence
- Explain remaining risk and the human decision boundary
