§ 02 · OVERVIEW
The vibe coding workflow
This course teaches the vibe coding workflow behind Claude Code Intermediate: spec-driven prompting, diff discipline, and review-before-merge. You write the spec, the agent writes the diff, and you defend the work in review.
Every week ends with one shipped artifact — a CLAUDE.md revision, a reviewed PR, a context budget you can keep. No theory, no toy exercises. You leave with proof of work.
