Claude Code reads its setup from many files: rules about what it may run, settings, CLAUDE.md, hooks, agents, skills, MCP servers and more. They live in different folders and override each other in an order that is easy to get wrong. This course takes you through Config Studio for Claude Code, from your first rules to a setup you could hand to a whole team.

Nothing in the studio touches your disk. Every lesson ends with a file you can read before you use it.

What you will be able to do

  • Find any of the 20 surfaces Claude Code reads, and know which file each one lives in
  • Start from a starter pack, or read in the .claude folder you already have
  • Write permission rules that allow, ask or refuse exactly what you mean, and test them
  • Know which settings file wins when two disagree, and why a setting seems ignored
  • Write a CLAUDE.md that loads, and check what actually reaches the model
  • Add hooks from ready-made recipes: formatters, test runs, notifications, secret guards
  • Make your own agents, skills and commands with descriptions that get picked
  • Connect MCP servers, run Claude Code unattended, and install a setup safely

Who it is for

Anyone who uses Claude Code and wants it to ask less, refuse the right things and know the project. The first lessons need no knowledge of Claude Code's files. The later ones are for people who look after a team's setup or run Claude Code in scripts and CI.
