Claude Engineering Career Path
From Agent Skills → Claude Code → Production-Ready AI Engineering
2 Live Hands-On Workshops | October 17–18, 2026
AI-assisted development is moving beyond prompting.
The next step for developers is learning how to build reusable capabilities for AI agents — and then combine those capabilities into structured, reliable engineering workflows.
The Claude Engineering Career Path brings together two intensive hands-on workshops designed as a progressive learning journey.
Day 1: Build Agent Skills
Day 2: Engineer Complete Workflows with Claude Code
Across the two workshops, you'll move from understanding how agents acquire reusable capabilities to building more complete AI-assisted software engineering systems.
Your 2-Stage Learning Path
STAGE 1 — Build Reusable Agent Capabilities
Agents Skills Masterclass — October 17
Start by understanding one of the building blocks of modern agentic systems: Agent Skills.
You'll learn how Claude discovers and invokes skills, how skills are structured, and how to build capabilities that can be reused across workflows.
You'll work hands-on to:
Understand how Agent Skills work
Break down the anatomy of an existing skill
Install and run pre-built skills
Build your first custom Agent Skill
Use Claude Skill-Creator
Build and test skills using Claude Code
Turn repetitive workflows into reusable agent capabilities
Design skills for maintainability and reuse
Understand permissions, security, and trust boundaries
Career outcome: Move beyond one-off prompts and start thinking in reusable agent capabilities.
STAGE 2 — Engineer with Claude Code
Claude Code Bootcamp Cohort 2 — October 18
Once you understand how reusable skills work, take the next step: integrating them into structured AI-assisted engineering workflows.
You'll work across the software development lifecycle using Claude Code.
You'll learn how to:
Structure repositories with CLAUDE.md and scoped rules
Build and use reusable Claude Code Skills
Create specialized subagents for security and testing
Implement hooks and guardrails
Automate formatting, testing, and safety checks
Use Best-of-N workflows to compare implementations
Test and verify AI-generated code
Review changes before merge
Evaluate production readiness
Build repeatable AI-assisted engineering workflows
Career outcome: Learn how individual Claude capabilities connect into a more complete engineering system.
What You'll Build
This is not a watch-only program.
Across the two workshops you'll work with:
Custom Agent Skills
Claude Skill-Creator
Reusable Claude Code Skills
CLAUDE.md project instructions
Scoped rules
Security Reviewer subagents
Test Verifier subagents
Hooks and automated checks
Best-of-N implementation workflows
Starter repositories
Production-readiness workflows
You'll also leave with reusable resources and templates that you can continue applying to your own projects after the workshops.
Certification Option
For attendees who want to validate their learning, a Certification Path can include:
Packt-endorsed workshop assessment
Packt-endorsed certification upon successful completion
Independent Anthropic certification preparation resources
Full-length practice question bank
Live mock-test preparation
Certification briefing and exam-preparation guidance
Important: Packt's workshops and preparation materials are independently created and are not official Anthropic training or endorsed by Anthropic. They do not contain official examination questions, and participation does not guarantee success in an Anthropic certification examination.
One Weekend. Two Workshops. One Connected Career Path.
Learn how to build capabilities for AI agents on Day 1.
Learn how to engineer complete Claude Code workflows on Day 2.
Move beyond simply using AI coding tools and start developing the skills needed to engineer with them.
