Claude Code best practices training for engineering teams
Most Claude Code adoption fails because best practices stay in private habits reviewers cannot see. Standardize team workflow by writing conventions into CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, and review expectations, so every engineer follows the same standards documentation. This training shows teams how to turn AI coding practices into shared, inspectable rules instead of a growing prompt library.
Best practices belong in the repo
Claude Code works best when the team records conventions in CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, and review expectations. The goal is not a bigger prompt library, but fewer private habits reviewers cannot inspect.
What the workshop installs
Participants define setup rules, planning habits, hook boundaries, MCP permissions, test expectations, and review evidence for the workflows the team actually delegates to Claude Code.
How adoption stays practical
The team keeps the standard short, updates it after real runs, and rejects patterns that produce large diffs, hidden assumptions, or approval habits nobody can explain later. Include a continuity check: the reported Claude Code account ban illustrates why repo instructions and verification commands should remain usable when one provider is unavailable.
Compare cost and latency on fixed tasks
Use the pull-request cost review to record model spend alongside review time and rework. When comparing an inference endpoint, the fixed-task latency exercise adds correctness and cleanup checks to the timing result. Keep the fixtures and review criteria stable so the team can explain why a workflow earned its cost.
