🇳🇬 Ways to use this in Nigeria

Ideas to get you started, adapt to your situation.

Entrepreneur
As a tech startup founder, develop a Claude Code agent to automate personalized marketing copy generation for your product's social media campaigns, adapting content based on audience engagement data.
Student
As a Computer Science student, build a Claude Code agent for your final year project that automates data extraction from online sources for market research, using memory and subagents for complex tasks.
9-5 employee
As a data analyst, create a Claude Code workflow to automatically extract key metrics from weekly reports, summarize findings, and draft an executive summary for your department head, saving hours.

What this is, in plain English

This is a free, visual, example-driven guide (the claude-howto repository) for going from beginner to advanced with Claude Code, the AI coding agent that runs in your terminal. It walks through Claude Code’s powerful features, slash commands, memory, skills, subagents, hooks, and plugins, in a sensible order, with copy-paste templates you can adapt.

Be honest about the level: this is for developers, and it is marked advanced because Claude Code is a paid terminal tool and the later topics (subagents, MCP, plugins) assume real technical comfort. This page explains what the guide covers and what you can build with it, so you know where to start.

What you can use it for

Automate repetitive work. Build an agent that extracts data from sources and summarizes it, or drafts an executive summary from weekly reports.
Generate content on a system. A workflow that produces marketing copy adapted to your audience.
Tackle complex tasks with multiple agents. Use subagents so one job is split across specialists.
Build reusable tooling. Save slash commands and templates you reach for again and again.
Genuinely learn Claude Code. Move past one-off prompts to building dependable, automated workflows.

Tools you need

Claude Code (paid): the terminal AI coding agent the guide teaches. Needs a paid Claude plan or credits.
Claude (claude.ai) (freemium): the chat app, useful for learning many of the concepts for free before you commit to Claude Code.

How it actually works

The repository is a course you work through, in order. The realistic path:

Open the repo and the roadmap. Read LEARNING-ROADMAP.md; it lays out the recommended order from basic to advanced.
Start with slash commands. The 01-slash-commands folder covers the basics of triggering Claude Code actions.
Add memory and skills. 02-memory and 03-skills show how Claude Code remembers context and uses reusable abilities.
Move to subagents and MCP. 04-subagents and 05-mcp cover splitting work across multiple agents and connecting Claude Code to outside tools via MCP.
Explore plugins and advanced features. 07-plugins and 09-advanced-features extend Claude Code with external tools and techniques.
Use the copy-paste templates. Throughout, grab the ready-made templates and adapt them to your own tasks.
Practice as you go. Try each concept in Claude Code (or the claude.ai chat for the basics) rather than only reading.

Words you’ll see, explained

Claude Code: the AI coding agent that runs in your terminal.
Slash command: a shortcut (like /something) that triggers a defined Claude Code action.
Memory: context Claude Code keeps so it remembers things across a task.
Skill: a reusable ability you can give the agent.
Subagent: a specialist helper agent used to break a big task into parts.
MCP (Model Context Protocol): the standard way to connect an AI tool to outside tools and data.
Hook / plugin: ways to run your own code at set moments or add new capabilities.

Notes & variations

Cost: Claude Code needs a paid plan or credits, but the free claude.ai chat is enough to learn many concepts first.
Common pitfall: jumping to subagents or MCP before the basics. Follow the roadmap in order, or it gets confusing fast.
Tip for better results: do not just paste the templates, read each one and tweak it for your own use case. Adapting a template (say, turning a code-review one into a text-analysis one) is what makes the learning stick.
