Claude Code Training & Enablement

Why structured training beats self-study

Most engineering organizations we meet have a handful of Claude Code power users scattered through the team and everyone else is six to twelve months behind. Self-study works for individual engineers; it fails at team scale. The common failure modes we see:

• Everyone reinvents the wheel. Each engineer discovers a different subset of Claude Code capabilities, with no shared skill library, hook conventions, or MCP integrations. The team ends up with a dozen incompatible approaches.
• Unsafe hooks ship to production. PreToolUse and PostToolUse hooks without proper validation leak credentials, misroute data, or block legitimate work. We see this pattern monthly.
• Skills and commands drift. Without governance, skills accumulate as technical debt. Six months in, nobody knows which skill does what, and removing any one is risky.
• MCP integrations are half-built. Teams wire up MCP servers without a consistent pattern for auth, error handling, or observability — then can't debug them when something breaks.
• Leadership can't govern what it can't measure. No usage metrics, no review process, no standards — which means no way to catch regressions, no way to compare teams, and no way to justify continued investment.

Structured training produces shared mental models, consistent skills/hooks, a reviewed governance framework, and a team that moves as one unit. The net cost is almost always lower than the opportunity cost of uncoordinated self-study at teams of ten engineers or more.

The 2-day workshop

$15,000 flat. Up to 10 engineers. Remote by default; on-site available for +$5K (US) or +$8K (international). Includes 60-minute pre-workshop stack audit and 30 days of post-workshop Slack support.

Day 1 — Fundamentals to competent use

• Claude Code CLI setup against the client's real stack (credentials, environments, deployment targets)
• Custom skill creation and the skill taxonomy we use in production
• Hook development: PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart, PermissionRequest — with working examples for each
• Safe operational patterns: credential handling, logging, error propagation, and the hook sandbox
• Hands-on lab: each engineer ships one working skill and one working hook by end of day

Day 2 — Production integration and governance

• MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration with client systems — database, ticketing (Zendesk, Freshdesk), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), document stores (Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion), chat platforms (Slack, Discord, Teams)
• Agent templates and multi-agent orchestration patterns
• Debugging and observability: tool tracing, session capture, cost tracking
• Security review checklist and governance framework for Claude Code usage across the org
• Hands-on lab: team ships an MCP integration and a reviewed agent template

The multi-week enablement programs

For engineering organizations with 10 or more engineers who need more than a workshop. We audit your actual stack, build custom skills and hooks against your real systems, develop MCP server integrations for the tools your engineers use daily, and leave you with a production-grade Claude Code workspace fully adapted to your organization.

Small program — $35,000, 3 weeks, teams of 10-20

• Week 1: stack audit + baseline assessment of current Claude Code usage (if any)
• Week 2: custom skill library build (8-12 skills specific to client's stack), hook development, 4 live training sessions
• Week 3: pair-programming pods, team-wide adoption push, handoff documentation
• 30-day post-engagement Slack support included

Mid program — $50,000, 5 weeks, teams of 20-40

• Everything in Small, plus:
• MCP integration builds for 2-3 client-specific systems (CRM, ticketing, internal APIs)
• Custom agent templates for client's recurring workflows
• Team-lead office hours each week
• 60-day post-engagement support

Large program — $75,000, 8 weeks, teams of 40+

• Everything in Mid, plus:
• Leadership briefings for engineering and security leadership
• Governance framework: usage metrics, review cadence, skill library ownership, hook change-management process
• Security review and threat model for the client's Claude Code deployment
• Custom MCP server development for one client-specific system
• 90-day post-engagement support

Ongoing coaching retainer

For teams that completed a workshop or multi-week program and want ongoing expert access without hiring a dedicated Claude Code specialist internally. Month-to-month, 30-day cancel notice, no minimum term.

• $3,000 / month — 4 hours of office hours per month, 1 quarterly strategic review, email support
• $5,000 / month — Everything above plus unlimited Slack/Discord support and priority response on architecture questions

Who this is for

Engineering teams at:

• Tech companies and SaaS startups who want Claude Code as a default tool across engineering
• Robotics and hardware firms where Claude Code can accelerate firmware, simulation, and testing workflows
• Regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal) that need governance and security review as part of the training
• Government contractors and defense-adjacent organizations that require compliance-aware training and are likely running Claude Code against a cloud-segregated enterprise account (see Enterprise Claude Code Setup)
• Organizations running private local deployments (Ollama-based, vLLM-based) — we train against your actual deployment topology (see Private Claude Code Deployment)

What separates our training from reference documentation

We run Claude Code as a production development engine internally every day. Our 60+ open-source AI repositories, the ARC-AGI-3 competition work, and our KineticArc industrial AI infrastructure all use Claude Code. We train from working patterns, not from reference docs. Every skill we teach, every hook we demonstrate, every MCP integration we walk through has been deployed, broken, fixed, and re-deployed in production by our own team first.
