Claude Code Tutorial

The parts that matter most

Claude Code is easiest to misuse when it is treated as a chat box. This tutorial covers the pieces that shape its behavior: how you prompt it, what context it carries, and how a CLAUDE.md file holds standing instructions so you do not repeat yourself in every session.

Extending the agent

MCP servers connect it to outside tools and data, and subagents let a larger task be split into focused pieces. Both are more useful once the basics of context and prompting feel routine, so treat them as a second step rather than the starting point.

Who benefits

• Developers who have tried the tool once and want a structured way to use it
• Teams that want shared project instructions to live in version control
• Anyone deciding whether to invest time in agent-style coding

A short tutorial gives you the vocabulary; the real learning comes from running the tool on a project you already know.
