Context engineering
How context actually works and why quality collapses when it fills. The CLAUDE.md hierarchy across global, project and directory. Compacting versus clearing, and running to a context budget on purpose.
This is not an AI introduction, and it is not no-code.
These are the tools I use every day on live client work and my own products. Four days of building, not four days of slides. If you want an overview of what AI can do, this is the wrong room.
AI systems developer · Algeria's first AI automation agency
I work with Algerian businesses to implement AI securely and build them custom systems. What I teach here is the same work I do every day.
None of these is useful alone. The workshop is about how they compose — which is the only reason anyone gets a system out the other end instead of a demo.
How context actually works and why quality collapses when it fills. The CLAUDE.md hierarchy across global, project and directory. Compacting versus clearing, and running to a context budget on purpose.
Where tokens really go, how prompt caching changes the arithmetic, what a working session costs in dinars, and the specific habits that cut it without costing you output.
Writing your own, testing them, and making them fire at the right moment. Progressive disclosure and why a well-built skill raises accuracy while lowering cost.
Wiring Claude to your database, your API and your internal tools — then building your own MCP server from nothing.
Context isolation and delegation. Where they genuinely save time and money, and where they quietly burn both.
Several agents working at once across git worktrees, and coordinating them so they don't overwrite each other.
Deterministic orchestration — fan-out, pipelines, verification stages. When a workflow beats a single agent, and when it's overhead.
Reasoning levels, when paying for more thinking actually returns more, and when ultracode earns its cost.
The real mechanics of how a model calls a tool, where tools break, and how to design ones it cannot get wrong.
Rules that fire on their own before and after tool use. Deterministic guardrails at zero context cost.
A repository Claude navigates instead of guesses at. Settings, permission modes, multiple environments.
What exists, what's worth adopting, and how to judge one before you build your company on top of it.
Agents reading, deciding and executing against real company data. Monitoring, failure modes, retry, rollback.
Laptop to production: environments, secrets, domains, shipping without breaking what already works.
What an agent must never be handed. Permission boundaries, secret handling, and drawing the line before something expensive happens rather than after.
A system running inside your own company, a skills library that is yours, and a written plan for extending both. Not a certificate, not a portfolio project.
Almost none of this is locked to one tool. Context engineering, MCP, tool design, agent architecture and cost control are how these systems work — not how one product works.
We build on Claude Code because it is the deepest implementation available today — not because it is the only one. What you learn here transfers to the others as they are.
Sixteen hours, four hours a day. Two weekends, with seven days between them where the real learning happens — the same way tile is set: pieces first, then the bed that locks them.
settings.json, wiring your first MCP serversCLAUDE.md hierarchy, and writing rules that actually holdYou leave with a tuned environment and a real context file for your company.
You leave with a system wired to your real infrastructure, running.
Seven days where you work alone on your own system and hit problems nobody warned you about. This is not a gap in the programme — it is the part that does the work. Weekend two opens on what broke for you, not on prepared material.
You leave with your own skills library and a workflow running a real task.
You leave with a system running in your company and a written plan to extend it.
Nothing below is softened. If any of it changes your mind, better now than on the Saturday.
Node.js and git installed — I send you the stepsNot scarcity for its own sake — past a small group I cannot sit with each person on their own system, which is the entire point of doing this in a room.
Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing. I call you, we work out whether this is right for you, and your place is held on that call.
I call you within twenty-four hours on the number you gave. Have your questions ready.
