Claude Code in Action
Learning notes for the Claude Code in Action course from Claude Academy.
The course covers running long, hands-off Claude Code sessions you can trust: steering the work, configuring Claude, automating repeat work, and verifying and sharing results.
Course Outline
9 lessons across four modules.
Scope work with plan mode, direct compaction so summaries keep what matters, use the rewind menu to course-correct, and choose between hands-on steering and autonomous goal and loop runs
Write a lean CLAUDE.md Claude actually follows, package repeated procedures as skills, pick the right permission mode for each job, and enforce the non-negotiable rules with hooks
Schedule prompts as routines on Anthropic infrastructure, drop to headless mode when a job needs your own pipeline, and wire Claude into pull requests with managed code review and the GitHub action
Verify unsupervised runs in proportion to how little you watched them, gate turns on real test results with hooks, and package a setup you trust as a plugin your whole team can install
