Claude Certified Architect - Foundations
Every concept on the Claude Certified Architect - Foundations exam, mapped to a knowledge graph and explained from first principles. Master the Claude API, Claude Code, the Model Context Protocol, prompt engineering, and context management, then prove it with adaptive practice.
The five exam domains
Agentic Architecture & Orchestration
Design and orchestrate agentic loops, multi-agent systems, subagents, workflows, hooks, and session state on the Claude API and Agent SDK.
Tool Design & MCP Integration
Build effective tool interfaces, structured error responses, tool distribution, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrations.
Claude Code Configuration & Workflows
Configure CLAUDE.md hierarchy, slash commands, skills, path-specific rules, plan mode, iterative refinement, and CI/CD integration for Claude Code.
Prompt Engineering & Structured Output
Design precise prompts, few-shot examples, schema-enforced structured output, validation loops, batch processing, and multi-pass review.
Context Management & Reliability
Manage conversation context, escalation, error propagation, large-codebase exploration, human review, and provenance across long-running agents.
