Mastering Claude Code
Your team is using AI. But are they using it well?
Learn the workflows that turn unpredictable "vibe coding" into reliable, reviewable, production-quality output.
Your team is using AI — are they getting the most out of it?
The problem with vibe coding
AI coding assistants are powerful — but without structure, they produce inconsistent results. Context gets lost between sessions. Requirements drift. Code reviews become guesswork. You end up fixing AI mistakes instead of shipping features.
There's a better way
Spec-driven development creates a shared understanding between your engineers and the AI — before any code is written. The result: faster development, fewer rework cycles, and code that actually matches what you wanted.
This workshop teaches it
Two standalone days. The Pro Workshop covers configuration and spec-driven development. The Max Workshop adds multi-agent workflows and parallel development. Hands-on, adapted to your stack — you'll leave with working setups you can commit that day.
What You'll Learn
Two standalone days. Book just the Pro Workshop, or take both. Each day builds on the last.
The Pro Workshop
Configuration & Spec-Driven Development
Requires a Claude Pro subscription (or Anthropic API key)
- Write a personal system prompt that shapes Claude Code across all your projects
- Create
CLAUDE.mdproject memory files that give Claude instant context every session - Build agent persona files for specialised roles — reviewer, implementer, refactorer
- Create custom slash commands for the workflows you run every day
- Build reusable skills that Claude invokes automatically for recurring tasks
- Connect external tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol) — GitHub, databases, and more
- Set up hooks that auto-format, lint, and run type-checks without manual intervention
- The OpenSpec workflow: proposal → specs → design → tasks → implementation
- Writing Given/When/Then specifications that guide AI implementation precisely
- Hands-on: build a real feature end-to-end with OpenSpec
The Max Workshop
Multi-Agent Workflows & Parallel Development
Requires a Claude Max subscription; the Pro Workshop is a prerequisite
- What Claude Max unlocks for Claude Code that Pro can't do
- Run multiple concurrent Claude Code sessions without creating conflicts
- Use git worktrees to give each session a fully isolated copy of the repository
- Use headless sessions to run background tasks and pipe results between sessions
- Design multi-agent pipelines where specialised agents hand work to each other
- Build a team of agent personas: planner, implementer, tester, reviewer
- Coordinate agents through files — specs as contracts between sessions
- Orchestrate a full feature build across three parallel worktrees
- Hands-on: run a complete multi-agent feature build from planning through to archive
All exercises are adapted to your team's language, framework, and tooling.
What You'll Walk Away With
- A personalised Claude Code setup committed to your repository and ready to use
- Custom commands and skills tailored to your workflows
- The ability to write specifications that guide AI implementation precisely
- A repeatable workflow for shipping features with Claude Code
- Confidence to use AI agents on real production work — not just toy examples
- Knowledge of when to use AI agents vs. when not to
- Max Workshop only: a working multi-agent setup — worktrees, personas, and orchestration commands — adapted to your projects
- 30 days of follow-up support via email
About the Instructor
Emmz Rendle
Emmz has been writing software professionally for 30+ years, and has spent the last eight months using Claude Code for real production work.
A keynote speaker with talks at NDC, GOTO, and others, Emmz brings a developer-to-developer perspective: no hype, no fluff, just workflows that actually work on real codebases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know Claude Code already?
No. The Pro Workshop starts from installation and configuration. You need basic command-line experience and a Claude Pro subscription or Anthropic API key. We'll cover everything else. The Max Workshop does require the Pro Workshop (or equivalent experience) as a prerequisite.
What's the difference between the Pro Workshop and the Max Workshop?
The Pro Workshop is for engineers with a Claude Pro subscription. It covers configuring Claude Code for your projects, building agent personas, creating custom commands and skills, and getting started with spec-driven development using OpenSpec. The Max Workshop builds on this — it's for engineers with a Claude Max subscription and covers running multiple concurrent sessions, using git worktrees for isolation, and coordinating teams of specialised agents working in parallel. You can book just the Pro Workshop (£250) or both days together (£450).
What does "minimum 4 participants" mean exactly?
Each workshop day needs at least 4 registered participants to run. If a date doesn't reach 4 people, we'll offer registered participants either a refund or a transfer to the next available date. We'll always give you at least 2 weeks' notice if a date isn't going ahead.
Is this a beginners' course or for experienced developers?
Experienced developers who want to use AI coding tools more effectively. You should be comfortable with Git, the command line, and your chosen programming language. The workshop is about workflow and tooling, not programming fundamentals.
What tech stack does the workshop use?
Public workshops use TypeScript/Node.js for examples as it's the most widely understood. Private team workshops are fully adapted to your stack — we'll use your languages, frameworks, and tools throughout.
How does "registering interest" work? Is it a booking?
Registering interest is not a commitment or a payment. It lets us know you're interested in a particular date so we know when a date is likely to run. When a date reaches the minimum, we'll contact everyone who registered interest with details of how to confirm and pay. No money changes hands at the interest stage.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
Yes. Workshops are invoiced through Daemonic Ltd (UK). We're VAT registered. Invoices will be issued once a date is confirmed.
Is there follow-up support after the workshop?
Yes — 30 days of email follow-up support is included for all participants. If you have questions while applying what you've learned to your real project, get in touch.
