Extend, automate, review
Skills, commands, plugins
- Course: Introduction to agent skills.
- Write one team skill (e.g.
release-checklist,how-we-write-migrations) and one personal custom slash command; ship them via a PR to the repo's.claude/. - Browse a plugin marketplace, install one useful plugin (e.g. code-intelligence/LSP) and evaluate it honestly.
BA/QA track
Automated testing
QA enters the Code tab
- Course: Claude Code 101 (QA pass — concepts, not mastery).
- With a dev buddy: run the training repo's test suite in a Code-tab session; read a failure; ask Claude to explain and fix a deliberately broken test; watch the loop.
Exercise
Run the suite, break a selector, let Claude repair it, re-run green.
