Module 5

Leveling Up

Advanced techniques for experienced builders

Topics 4
Duration ~2 hours
Level Advanced

⚠️ Prerequisites

Module 5 is for learners who have completed Modules 1-4 and have:

  • Built at least one complete project using the 4-step loop
  • Created and maintained a Claude.md file
  • Shipped an MVP and iterated on it
  • Experienced the compound effect firsthand

If you haven't completed Modules 1-4 yet, start there. These advanced techniques build on that foundation.

What You'll Learn

🚀 Take Your Skills Further

You've mastered the fundamentals. You can plan, build, and iterate with Claude Code. Now it's time to level up with techniques that unlock even more power:

  • Version control with Git - Track changes, experiment safely, collaborate
  • Subagents - Spin up specialized Claude instances for complex workflows
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Connect Claude to external tools and data
  • Advanced workflows - Parallel development, complex architectures, team patterns

These aren't essential for building—you've already learned that. But they'll make you faster, more flexible, and ready to tackle bigger challenges.

When Do You Need Module 5?

📊 Decision Framework

You probably DON'T need Module 5 yet if:

  • You're still getting comfortable with the 4-step loop
  • Your projects are working fine without version control
  • You're building simple, single-file tools
  • You haven't hit complexity that requires advanced techniques

You're READY for Module 5 when:

  • You want to experiment without fear of breaking things (Git)
  • You have workflows that need multiple specialized Claudes (subagents)
  • You need Claude to interact with external tools like browsers or databases (MCP)
  • You're building complex projects or collaborating with others (advanced workflows)
  • You're curious and want to explore what's possible

Bottom line: These are power tools. Use them when you need them, not because they exist.
