Start freeSee the programme

The intro section, 2 modules and an exam.

One experiment in Claude Code

The product manager is youa product hypothesis needs checking
Positioning and copyThrough chat and Claude Code skills
Landing page designThrough skills and a Figma connection
Code and shipping to productionThrough chat, published on Vercel
Reading the results and drawing a conclusionThrough skills for working with data

The hypothesis is checked. The decision is yours

5 practical assignments. I read every one of them myself.

What you get by the end of the course

You = a product team

The team remembers the project and what was agreed

Rules, decisions and the place you stopped at live in the project files. A new session reads them on its own — you do not retell the context again.

It cannot say “done” without evidence

A task has a criterion and evidence: how many rows were processed, where that number comes from, what happens on deliberately bad data. A person would just say “done” here.

It can work without you

On a schedule or on an event: the digest is assembled by Monday morning, and you get it ready.

It keeps the limits under control

Not every task needs the heavy model. You choose what to spend the limit on instead of finding out when it has run out.

Proof that you finished the course

A certificate anyone can check by a link

The certificate states that you passed 5 exams and 5 practical assignments reviewed by me. The verification page is open to anyone you give the link to.

Practice first

5 practical assignments — 5 roles of your team

In each one you do the work you used to order from someone else, and hand it in for review.

1Product workYou start the project: a working boundary, rules, and context that survives between sessions
2MarketerYou set up competitor tracking: the information gathers itself and arrives by email
3DesignerYou build the mockups, start a design system and hand it over for review by a link
4DeveloperYou build apps and services, test them and ship them to production
5AnalystYou work through the data and get evidence that the whole set was processed, not the first hundred rows

Why a product manager should work as an analyst and a designer. Because you cannot accept work you have never done yourself. By the fifth assignment you know what to look at, because you have been in each of those shoes.

These are not 5 variants of one assignment to pick from. 5 different assignments in a row: each comes after its own group of modules and builds on what was covered there.

Questions

What people usually ask

I have a team. Why would I need this?
You have a team, but its time is not yours. A hypothesis that needs a day of development waits for a sprint, sometimes for a quarter. The course does not replace the team — it removes the queue on the tasks where you already know what is needed.
I already use Claude. What’s new here?
Using it means chatting with it. The course is about something else: how to set a task so that its result can be accepted, how to hold context between sessions, and how not to burn your limit on what could be done more cheaply. The first 2 modules are open — compare them with the way you work now.
Why would I do a designer’s or a marketer’s work? I am a product manager.
So that you can accept that work from the agent. If you accept a task you have never done yourself, you accept it by eye — and that is exactly where the agent wins.
I’m not an engineer. Will I manage?
The course is written for people who do not write code, and it does not teach programming. There are no assignments in it where you have to write code by hand.
How long will this take?
About six hours of reading. The projects and the 5 practical assignments are done at your own pace — that is what six months of access is for.
Won’t it be out of date in a month?
Claude changes fast, and the course is updated along with it. Every update is an entry in the changelog and an email. Last checked against the documentation on 18 August 2026.
And if it isn’t for me?
The first block is open in full — you will see how the course is written before you pay. After buying, there is a refund within 14 days.
Why $199?
That is what it costs to put in place the procedure by which you accept an agent’s work. Retellings of the documentation sell for less, and those really can be found for free.
