Build AI-Native Products with Claude Code: Skills, Subagents & Agent Teams

AI is changing how products get built.

Developers, PMs, founders, and builders know tools like Claude Code can dramatically accelerate development. But most people are still using AI as a better autocomplete tool: copying prompts, starting over in new chats, and struggling to build anything beyond simple prototypes.

The real shift is learning how to work with AI as a team.

With this course, you'll:

âś… Build effective CLAUDE.md files that make Claude Code a reliable development partner

âś… Create reusable Skills that automate common workflows

âś… Design specialized subagents that handle focused responsibilities

âś… Orchestrate agent teams using proven agentic workflow patterns

âś… Evaluate AI outputs systematically

âś… Ship real projects using AI-native development workflows

This isn't another prompt engineering course.

You'll build alongside us, applying every concept to real projects while learning the workflows we use to move from idea to implementation faster than traditional development approaches.

By the end of the course, you'll understand how modern AI-native products are built, how agent teams collaborate, and how to create repeatable workflows you can use long after the course ends.

What you’ll learn

Master Claude Code from the fundamentals to advanced agent orchestration, and learn how to build, evaluate, and deploy AI-native products.

  • Set up AI-native workflows that turn Claude into a reliable development partner

  • Write effective CLAUDE.md files to control context, behavior, and output quality and design reusable Skills for common development tasks

  • Structure projects in a way so Claude can understand, contribute, and iterate consistently

  • Design focused subagents that handle specific roles like coding, planning, or review

  • Break complex work into delegated tasks across multiple AI collaborators

  • Build reusable agent setups for repeated workflows and faster execution

  • Apply proven patterns for coordinating multiple AI agents on complex tasks

  • Orchestrate agent teams that simulate real-world product and engineering workflows

  • Build scalable systems where agents collaborate instead of working in isolation

  • Measure output quality using structured evaluation approaches

  • Build feedback loops to continuously improve agent and workflow performance

  • Identify failure patterns and systematically improve reliability of AI outputs

  • Turn prototypes into usable applications with real-world structure and workflows

  • Integrate Claude Code with external tools, APIs, and developer ecosystems

  • Ship working products that can be shared, tested, and iterated in real environments

  • Build multiple end-to-end AI products during the course

  • Create reusable Skills, subagents, and workflow templates for future projects

  • Leave with a repeatable system for building and shipping AI-native applications
