Claude Code CLI: From Zero to Autonomous — Skills, Superpowers & MCP Servers

​Claude Code isn't autocomplete — it's an agentic coding assistant that lives in your terminal, reads your entire codebase, and executes multi-step tasks on its own. In this demo-driven session, we'll build a project live while walking through four layers of Claude Code: the CLI fundamentals and CLAUDE.md (your project's system prompt), skills that encode reusable expertise as markdown files, the Superpowers plugin that enforces disciplined TDD and subagent workflows, and MCP servers that connect Claude to GitHub, databases, and external APIs. We'll also cover auto mode

— Anthropic's brand-new safer alternative to --dangerously-skip-permissions — and show how pairing it with Superpowers unlocks hours-long autonomous coding sessions with both safety and methodology guardrails.
You'll walk away with a cheat sheet covering every command and concept, plus a clear mental model for how the pieces fit together.

This session is for developers and CS students comfortable with a terminal and Git — no prior Claude Code experience needed, but if you've been using it casually and want to unlock the customization layers that turn it into a genuine force multiplier, this is your session.
