About This Workshop
A hands-on, intermediate-level workshop for builders who already use Claude Code and want to go deeper. Across four focused modules — Skills, MCPs, Plugins, and API Integrations — attendees learn the four power-user primitives that turn Claude Code into a real productivity multiplier. Bring your laptop, leave with working setups.

This is not Claude Code 101. We assume attendees have used Claude Code before. Each module mixes a focused teaching block with hands-on exercises, so every attendee builds working setups on their own machine, not just watch demos. A resource kit will be made available to all attendees on the day.

What You'll Learn
By the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

Build and run reusable Skills — package a recurring workflow once and re-run it on demand, replacing repeat prompts with structured, shareable patterns.
Install and operate MCPs — authenticate a Model Context Protocol server (Gmail, Slack, Calendar, GitHub or Notion) and use it to read, draft, and act on real data from inside Claude Code.
Configure and scaffold Claude Code Plugins — install community plugins, customise their behaviour, and scaffold a minimal custom plugin from a starter template.
Integrate third-party APIs into Claude Code — wire up external services like Nano Banana for image generation and ElevenLabs for voice.
Choose the right primitive for any task — develop a working mental model for when to reach for a Skill versus an MCP, a Plugin, or an API integration.
