Who this is for

New Claude Code users who need a safe workflow for giving an agent access to a project.

Before you start

Basic file navigation. An installed Claude Code client and eligible Anthropic access are needed only for the optional project; costs are separate from VibeGym.

How long it takes

The in-app lesson estimates total about 18 minutes. Repeat exercises at your own pace and allow separate time for the optional project. Finishing a drill is different from being ready to operate a production app.

The actual curriculum

These titles and summaries come from the same lesson catalog used in the app.

Claude Code: from 0 to 1

  1. 1.

    An agent in your terminal · ~3 min

    Install Claude Code and understand what makes it different.

  2. 2.

    Teach it your project · ~3 min

    Put your standing instructions in CLAUDE.md — brief once, use forever.

  3. 3.

    The safe work rhythm · ~3 min

    Plan first, read diffs, verify — the rhythm that keeps agents safe.

  4. 4.

    Commands, skills and hooks · ~3 min

    Turn your repeated routines into tools the agent uses automatically.

  5. 5.

    Plugging in real tools · ~3 min

    Connect Claude Code to your database, browser and services — carefully.

  6. 6.

    Claude Code away from your desk · ~3 min

    Delegate to cloud and CI agents — and stay the one who merges.

Put it into a small project

Give the agent a small UI change in a practice repository. Ask for a plan, review the diff and run the project's existing checks before committing.

This is a suggested practice assignment, not a claim that VibeGym automatically creates or hosts the app for you. Keep a working checkpoint and show the result to someone else before increasing the scope.
