Claude Code's documentation explains every feature. It doesn't help when your hooks aren't firing, your MCP server won't connect, or a custom skill you installed broke something else. You've read the guides and you're still in the same place you started.
Caveman, MemPalace, oh-my-claudecode, new MCP servers and plugins every week — the gap between basic usage and a genuinely powerful setup is real and it's growing. Most developers don't know what's worth installing and what will cause problems. We test this constantly so you don't have to.
Hooks, multi-agent orchestration, cross-session memory, CI/CD pipelines — these are where the real leverage is. But every advanced setup hides another setup. You shouldn't be spending sprints debugging config. That time should be building.
Concrete, hands-on work on your specific setup — not a walkthrough of features you could have read in the docs.
We set up hooks that fire automatically on tool use, write CLAUDE.md workspace files that encode your codebase context, and build custom slash commands you can reuse. You leave with a working environment — not a list of things to try later.
GitHub, Jira, Slack, your own APIs — we connect the MCP servers that matter for your workflow and verify they actually work. We also work across the wider plugin ecosystem — Caveman for token savings and cleaner prompting, plus dozens of other community plugins we've tested in real projects. You leave knowing which are worth installing and which will cost you time.
MemPalace for structured agent memory with 96.6% recall. The Karpathy wiki pattern for a persistent markdown knowledge base that pairs with Obsidian. MCP memory servers for cross-session recall. We help you pick the right layer and get it configured correctly.
Architect multi-agent workflows, set up scheduled tasks, run Claude Code instances headlessly in pipelines, and automate the work that's eating your time. We design it around your stack, not a generic template.
Your agent is only as good as what it can look up. We wire in real-time web search and research capabilities so Claude Code can pull current docs, monitor Reddit and Hacker News, verify claims, and do deep research — without hallucinating. We pick the right provider for your budget and use case.
By the end of the session you know exactly which plugins are worth your time, what to build next, and how to keep compounding on what we set up. No more guessing what the ecosystem actually offers.
The Claude Code ecosystem moves fast. We stay current with what's production-ready — so you don't waste a session on tools that aren't worth it.
Strips verbose formatting from Claude's internal communication. Cuts token usage by 30–40% on long sessions and nudges you toward tighter, more effective prompts as a side effect.
Gives Claude structured memory that persists across sessions. 96.6% recall rate with only 170 tokens at startup — your agent remembers your project context without burning your budget.
Multi-agent orchestration layer. Adds autopilot, ultrawork, and team modes — letting multiple Claude Code instances collaborate on a task in parallel without manual coordination.
Curated Claude Code skills for common engineering tasks — test generation, refactoring patterns, codebase analysis. Drop-in extensions that make Claude measurably more productive on real work.
Opinionated CLAUDE.md and hooks setup from Garry Tan. A battle-tested starting point for teams that want a proven baseline instead of assembling everything from scratch.
Comprehensive hooks reference with working examples for auto-formatting, command blocking, notification injection, and session context. The clearest real-world hook patterns available.
Toggle MCP servers and plugin configurations on/off without editing JSON by hand. Solves the "where does the config live" problem and keeps multiple setups organized.
Connect Claude Code directly to GitHub via MCP. Create PRs, review diffs, manage issues, and trigger workflows from your terminal — without switching context.
Real-time web search integration so your agent can pull current docs, monitor Reddit and Hacker News, and verify claims before answering. We match the right provider to your budget and privacy requirements — not a one-size-fits-all default.
Plain markdown files that Claude maintains as a growing project knowledge base. No vector database. Pairs naturally with Obsidian so you can browse and edit your agent's memory like a personal wiki.
Community-maintained list of the best skills, hooks, slash commands, and plugins. A fast way to see what is worth trying before you burn a weekend wiring up tools that do not deliver.

From booking to shipping faster — three straightforward steps, fully remote.
Schedule a 60 minute session via Calendly. Complete a short pre-session questionnaire about your current Claude Code usage and the specific outcomes you want to achieve. No preparation required beyond that.
Based on your questionnaire, we design a session agenda focused on your exact bottlenecks — not a generic walkthrough. We review your setup, identify the highest-leverage things to cover, and prepare working examples relevant to your stack.
The live session is hands-on and immediately actionable. You leave with working workflows, configured tools, documented CLAUDE.md templates, and a clear action plan for what to build next.

The team left the session with working hooks, GitHub and Jira connected via MCP, and a CLAUDE.md template applicable to every service in the repository. The feature they had been blocked on shipped the following day.
Token usage dropped roughly 35% after installing Caveman. The bigger unlock was a multi-agent pipeline for overnight research and code review tasks — work the team had previously been doing manually every morning.
By the end of the session there was a CI/CD pipeline running Claude Code autonomously overnight, reviewing its own output before pushing. Full setup completed inside one hour.

What developers ask before booking their first Claude Code session.
Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic CLI that runs directly in your terminal. Unlike chat interfaces, it has full access to your filesystem, can read and edit files, execute shell commands, run tests, and operate as an autonomous agent on multi-step engineering tasks. It is the most capable AI coding tool available today, but most of its power is locked behind configuration that takes real time to figure out.
Courses and tutorials are built around generic examples. This session is built around your codebase, your stack, and your specific bottlenecks. We work in your actual environment, configure tools for your workflow, and leave you with working artifacts — not theoretical knowledge. A single 60-minute session consistently produces more actionable progress than months of self-directed learning.
Any developer who uses Claude Code and wants to get more out of it. You might be stuck on a specific feature, running a suboptimal setup without knowing it, or just starting out and want to skip the trial-and-error phase. What matters is that you want to move faster and are ready to act on what you learn.
Each session is tailored to you. Common focus areas include: custom CLAUDE.md configuration and slash commands, hooks setup for automated workflows, MCP server integration, multi-agent pipeline design, headless CI/CD integration, and persistent memory with MemPalace or the Karpathy wiki pattern. We cover what matters most for you in the time available.
Sessions run 60 minutes and are held via video call with screen sharing. The format is hands-on and interactive — not a lecture. We work through real techniques using your actual codebase context where possible, so every insight is immediately applicable. You will receive a recording, written notes, and a follow-up action plan after the session.
Yes. Booking three or more sessions gets you a volume discount. If you want to go deep on Claude Code over several sessions, get in touch and we can put together a structured plan.
You should have Claude Code installed and have made at least a few attempts to use it. An active Anthropic Pro or Max subscription is required. No advanced AI knowledge needed — just curiosity and a specific problem or goal you want to make progress on.
One session and your setup is working — hooks, MCP servers, skills, all of it. Book now and walk away with workflows you can ship with immediately.
New tools, skills, and breaking changes drop faster than anyone can keep up with. We cut through it and send you what actually matters — when it matters. No hype, no fluff.
