Quick Start

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/claude-code-training.git
cd claude-code-training

2. Start the bootstrap

./scripts/start_training.sh

The script will:

1. Verify that Claude CLI is installed
2. Print installation instructions if Claude CLI is missing
3. Launch Claude and instruct it to read prompts/bootstrap_prompt.md
4. Collect CLI information (help output, version, system info)
5. Generate or update training documentation in the training/ folder

---

Installation Instructions (if Claude CLI is missing)

1. Install Node.js (if not already installed): https://nodejs.org

2. Install Claude CLI globally:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

3. Verify installation:

claude --version

4. Re-run the bootstrap script:

./scripts/start_training.sh

Updating Training Documentation

When you upgrade Claude CLI:

1. Update Claude CLI to the latest version
2. Run the bootstrap script again:

./scripts/start_training.sh

Claude will:

• Detect new commands or changed functionality
• Update tutorials, cheat sheets, and release notes
• Keep the training fully synchronized with the installed CLI

---

Using the Generated Training

• Overview: training/overview.md
• Command reference: training/commands.md
• Workflows: training/workflows.md
• Tutorials: training/tutorials/
• Hands-on labs: training/labs/
• Cheat sheets: training/cheatsheets/
• Release notes: training/release_notes/

Recommended workflow:

1. Start with training/overview.md
2. Progress through tutorials in order
3. Attempt labs to practice concepts
4. Reference cheat sheets as needed

---

Advanced Tips

• Keep the workspace/ folder in .gitignore (it contains local generated files)
• You can add additional prompts in prompts/ for new features or workflows
• Claude can automatically detect new versions and update documentation if you re-run the bootstrap script

---

Contributing

• Update prompts in the prompts/ folder
• Add new tutorials, labs, or cheat sheets under training/
• Use the bootstrap script to regenerate documentation before committing
• Submit pull requests for review
