Congrats to the brave adventurers of the 1st cohort for completing my full-day Advanced Claude Code...

I’m grateful to welcome many alumni of my Claude Code foundations workshop returning for the 2nd course.

Kelvin, Mona, Damien, Ben, Caleb, Justin, Kah Meng, Kie Chuan, Wai Soon, Andrea, Lynn, Colin, Veronica, Natalie, Terence, chee shen.

There is no “puking blood” setup this time round as we did that in the 1st workshop. But I’m not sure about other symptoms like “brain cramp”.

The main takeaway of this workshop is the advanced knowledge of how to use Claude Code (or similar AI agents like Codex) for big and long-running tasks, from agentic loop to loop engineering.

Big and long-running tasks challenge two structural limitations of LLMs: the context window limit and accumulated quality loss. The context window naturally fills up on a big and long-running task. As it fills up, instruction following starts to degrade. And as the task goes from step to step, quality loss accumulates without an expert-in-the-loop between steps.

We deep dive into how to use context engineering, skills, and workflow patterns to solve these limitations. It is a compression of my practical insights after using Claude Code daily for 11 months, for coding and non-coding tasks.

At the end of the workshop, I showed the class one of my skills that combines every concept: my /plan-implementation skill. It takes a PRD as input, scopes it, then orchestrates multiple specialist subagents (landing page, db, coding, security, ux/ui, graphql, react and more), each running its own reflection loop, to work together on a concrete implementation. I can then pass that to my other skill, /implement-plan, which could run for 5 hours to churn out a production-grade app.

While the ending demo is a software development workflow, the same knowledge can be applied to design workflows that tackle other big and complex jobs.

I’m looking forward to seeing what workflows my alumni will automate in 1 week’s time, as a challenge to win a portable monitor.
