Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior experience with Claude Code?

Yes. This course assumes you're already using Claude Code and are comfortable with the terminal, Git workflows, and markdown. If you're new to Claude Code, start with Claude Code 101 first.

What's the difference between Skills and CLAUDE.md?

CLAUDE.md loads into every conversation — it's for always-on project standards. Skills load on demand when Claude matches your request to a skill description. If your instructions only apply to specific tasks (like PR reviews or debugging), they belong in a Skill.

Will I build real Skills during the course?

Yes. The course includes two hands-on exercises where you create and debug real Skills for your own workflow, plus a capstone project where you design a complete team skills architecture.

How long does the course take to complete?

The video content is about 30 minutes total. With the exercises and capstone project, plan for 1.5 to 2 hours to complete everything.
