Build AI-Native Products with Claude Code: Skills, Subagents & Agent Teams
AI is changing how products get built.
Developers, PMs, founders, and builders know Claude Code can dramatically accelerate development. But most people still use AI like a better autocomplete: copying prompts, restarting chats, and struggling to build beyond simple prototypes.
The industry has moved beyond single LLM interactions to agentic systems and harnesses. The real shift is learning to work with AI as a team.
With this course, you'll:
✅ Build effective CLAUDE.md files
✅ Create reusable Skills
✅ Design specialized subagents
✅ Orchestrate agent teams with proven workflows
✅ Evaluate AI outputs systematically
✅ Ship real projects using AI-native workflows
This isn't another prompt engineering course. You'll build alongside us, applying every concept to real projects using the same workflows we use to go from idea to implementation.
By the end, you'll know how modern AI-native products are built and leave with repeatable workflows you can use long after the course ends.
