Agentic Coding

102 Exercises: Briefing the Agent

Setup

  • Claude Code installed and working.
  • The project you used in 101, under git and at a clean working tree: git status --short prints nothing.
  • Exercise 1 starts from scratch, with no guidance file in the project. If the project has a CLAUDE.md, from before the course or since, Exercise 1 moves it aside and Exercise 3 reads it against the new one.
  • A second project you use the same agent on, for Exercise 4. Without one, use the project you worked on most recently before this one.
  • A shell. The examples use zsh, the shell the course's evidence comes from.
