Professional Tool Development with Claude Code

Five days, hands-on: build your own tool with Claude Code – from specification to a working release.

Audience
Automotive SPICE® assessors interested in AI-assisted development
Duration
5 training days over two weeks, online, max. 8 participants
Outcome
Your own working tool – no certificate

Context

AI-assisted projects rarely fail because of the model. They fail because of missing specifications, unreviewed results, and configuration management that nobody can trace anymore. That's your home turf as an assessor – just approached from the other direction: you know the process. In this training, you run it yourself.

What Claude Code Handles

  • Scaffolding, refactoring, and test harnesses at high speed
  • Research into unfamiliar code and unknown libraries
  • Documentation kept consistent with the source code
  • Recurring workflows as commands, hooks, or skills

What Stays With You

  • The target picture, requirements, and acceptance criteria
  • Architecture decisions and the reasoning behind them
  • Review of every change – unreviewed means unbuilt
  • Licensing, data privacy, and security questions

What You Take Home on the Final Afternoon

No slide deck and no certificate of attendance – instead, a repository you'll keep using afterward.

Product
Your working tool – a project you proposed yourself, published and ready to use.
Evidence
CLAUDE.md, requirements with acceptance criteria, decisions recorded as ADRs.
Verification
Automated tests that act as a gate, rather than trusting the result.

Agenda: Five Days, Five Outcomes

Every training day ends with a tangible state in the repository. On the last day, there's a release – and the path there is fully traceable.

Day 1 · Foundation

Set Up the Tooling, Sharpen the Mental Model

How a coding agent actually works: context, limits, typical failure patterns. Installation and terminal basics for everyone, prompting for development work – and in the afternoon, you present your project idea and lock it in.

+ Repository, first commit
Day 2 · Specification

From Wish to Agent-Ready Requirement

CLAUDE.md as a project handbook for humans and agents alike. Requirements with acceptance criteria instead of wish lists, designing architecture in Plan Mode before any code is written – and recording decisions with rationale as ADRs.

+ CLAUDE.md, specification, ADR
Day 3 · Development Loop

Build, Verify, Discard

Explore – Plan – Code – Verify as a controlled loop. Tests first, reading diffs, stopping wrong turns early. Debugging, subagents, and parallel work streams – by the end of the day, the first walking skeleton runs.

+ Source code with test suite
Day 4 · Professionalization

Automate, Connect, Ship

Your own workflows as slash commands, hooks, and skills. Connecting MCP and external interfaces, managing keys cleanly. Data privacy, permissions, and licensing – and then your project goes onto a real server.

+ Commands, hooks, deployment
Day 5 · Evidence & Demo Day

Finish, Document, Present

Close out and document open items. Building evidence in the repository: traceability and review records. Then Demo Day – everyone presents their own result. To close, you put your assessor hat back on and evaluate AI-assisted development.

Equipment and Machine

  • Your own laptop with Windows, macOS, or Linux and a stable internet connection
  • Local administrator rights – installing software is part of the training
  • No device management that blocks the terminal or package managers
  • A GitHub account (free) for version control

Accounts and Incidental Costs

  • Claude Pro (about USD 20/month, cancel anytime) – set up and tested before the training starts
  • Pro has session and weekly limits; anyone who maxes them out during the intensive week upgrades to Max temporarily
  • API access is not included in Pro and is billed separately: roughly €5–20 depending on the project
  • A credit card for small expenses during the week; an optional server starts at around €5/month

Budget for €50–80 in incidental costs of your own. All accounts are set up in your name and remain in your hands.

Dates

Five full training days spread over two weeks – with at least one free day between sessions. Time to keep working on your own project, gather questions, and let what you've learned sink in.

Pricing

This first delivery is aimed mainly at friends, acquaintances, and long-time colleagues – which is why, alongside the discounts, there's also the option to pay with time instead of money.

Full Training
€2,450
per person · five training days · plus applicable VAT
  • Five full training days online, in a group of no more than eight people
  • Continuous guidance on your own project, not a sample exercise
  • All practice repositories, templates, and configurations to take with you
  • Free days between sessions to keep working on your own project
  • You cover incidental costs for accounts and services yourself (see above)
For Friends and Acquaintances
2 : 1
5 days of training · 2.5 days of your time

Time for time instead of an invoice: you take part in the full five days and, in return, contribute two and a half days of effort to a SPICEy3 project. What exactly, we'll work out together beforehand – it should match what you're already good at.
