Claude Code Foundations
The entry point to the Claude Code ecosystem. Learn to install, configure, and direct Claude Code on a real project: how the agent works inside, which plan suits you, how to choose model and effort per task, how to give it memory with CLAUDE.md, the Explore → Plan → Code workflow, skills, hooks, and permissions to automate your work, subagents to delegate, and the integrations with Git, `claude -p`, the Claude Agent SDK, MCP, and Remote Control. It closes with a capstone project where you set everything up from scratch in your own repository. Model and plan data as of October 2026.
