Context Engineering for Claude Code
Sam Keen
AI educator | ex-AWS GenAI architect
Stop starting every session from scratch. Build a system that compounds.
Many developers use Claude Code the same way every session: type a prompt, evaluate the output, repeat. Some sessions produce clean, correct code. Others feel like starting over.
The difference isn't the prompt. It's what Claude knows before you type a word.
Context engineering is how you close that gap. Not with longer prompts, but with agent files, custom skills, and automated hooks that load the right context at the right time. The investment compounds: every session builds on what you've already set up.
In this workshop, you'll see a complete context engineering system built from scratch for a real project. Every decision narrated, every trade-off explained.
You'll leave with templates, a reference card, and the recording. Everything you need to build the same system for yours.
Workshop agenda
- 12:30PM EDT
Meet & Greet with Sam
Connect with Sam and fellow attendees before the session. Cameras on, informal. Share what you're working on and what you want from the workshop.
- 12:50PM EDT
Welcome
Consistent results vs. starting over every session. The difference isn't the prompt. We'll set up the framework for every decision in the workshop.
- 1:00PM EDT
Agent Files
See a real production CLAUDE.md dissected, then watch one built from scratch. What goes where, and why. Learn the progressive disclosure principle that drives every choice.
- 1:30PM EDT
Skills + Context Pull Technique
Recurring workflows become skills: reusable components that load on demand. See one in action, learn the Context Pull technique, then watch one built from scratch.
- 2:00PM EDT
Hooks as Guardrails
See a hook catch a real mistake automatically. Walk through PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and Stop hooks: guardrails that fire without occupying your context window.
- 2:30PM EDT
The Full Picture
All three segments placed on the maturity ladder. See where everything fits, what to build next, and leave with starter templates, a reference card, and a checklist.
- 2:50PM EDT
Q&A with Sam [Optional]
Bring your questions: project-specific advice, setup troubleshooting, or anything from the session. Screen-sharing welcome.
