Vibe Check: Claude Code Unpacked — How to Actually Ship with AI Tooling

Watch the video version for the demos and screen shares: https://www.youtube.com/live/fQGcbND0UasSarah Deaton, Technical Content Engineer at Anthropic and the person who owns the Claude Code docs, joined myself and my co-host Angela Zhou (Sr Technical Curriculum Dev @ Temporal) to walk through what's new and what's underused in Claude Code. We covered Claude Design for non-designers, the difference between CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, and subagents (and when to reach for each), routines that run on schedules or GitHub events, the new rewind feature, auto mode, forked subagents, and the layers of sandboxing available for safer execution.Topics covered:Claude Design for visual work, mockups, and slide decks (and the handoff into Claude Code)When to use CLAUDE.md vs skills vs hooks vs subagentsWhy hooks are the deterministic layer underneath the model and where teams misuse CLAUDE.mdSlash init for scaffolding a new repo with Claude CodeRoutines: scheduled tasks plus GitHub events and API triggersRewind: pulling failed attempts out of the context window without polluting the next tryAuto mode and the classifier that gates risky actionsForked subagents: subagents that inherit the full conversation but keep their work isolatedSandboxing tiers: slash sandbox, dev containers, VMs, and Claude Code on the webResources:Claude: https://claude.ai/newClaude Code docs: https://code.claude.com/docsClaude Design: https://claude.ai/designCode with Claude events: https://claude.com/code-with-claudeSession management and 1M context blog post: https://claude.com/blog/using-claude-code-session-management-and-1m-contextTemporal AI: https://temporal.io/solutions/aiNote: This is the audio version of a video livestream that included live coding, screen shares, and on-screen demos.
