I run LeftClick, an AI growth agency. We've done work for large brands you're likely familiar with, like Mr. Beast, Anthropic, OpenAI, and a few others. In plain English: I help people build systems that generate leads, close deals, and scale businesses, mostly using new AI models like Claude. I also make videos about how to do all of that here on YouTube. It hasn't always been this way. My family immigrated from a Soviet bloc country (People's Republic of Bulgaria) in the 90s. They worked extremely hard, and we were broke for a very long time. I grew up wishing for more security, stability, and freedom over my own life. I don't have a programming degree, and never took formal education for IT or workflows. I learned it all myself from YouTube videos like you're watching now. As for my path: I started my first business at 19 in college. We threw events (mostly parties) at campus bars, and charged people for entry. That failed to provide me enough money to pay my bills, so at 21, I started another business, a door-to-door marketing agency. From there, every year, I would start several companies, over 10 in total. I did this in a variety of industries, like e-commerce, photography, videography, SaaS, credit repair, etc. Each grew slightly more profitable, until, at 25, I would start 1SecondCopy, a content writing company. A friend and I eventually scaled that to over $90,000/m. It was my first taste of financial independence, and the reason I'm here today. Since starting my journey, I've grown a fair bit of capital. To diversify my income, at 30, I began investing in other businesses and advising companies on how to grow in the AI era. These include SaaS businesses, like Clairvo, agencies like Dental Connect, and more. Collectively, the businesses that I own outright or are a part of generate over $10 million per year. This returns far more than the 5-10% you would get in the stock market, but also requires a lot of my active time. There's a tradeoff there, but I greatly prefer active investing, where I have control over the entities I'm a part of. It wasn't easy to get here. But I did in the end! For anyone on their own entrepreneurial journey: I wish you luck, happiness, and perseverance. You can make it! Summary ⤵️ The end-to-end, definitive course on Claude Code for beginners! I'll take you through a full four-hour masterclass where I start by teaching you how to set up and install Claude Code in a tutorial, how to configure your IDE or integrated development environment (we'll use Antigravity), how to utilize your CLAUDE.md file as your project brain, how to build your first project in Antigravity using Claude Code in under 15 minutes, advanced Claude Code functionality including hooks, slash commands, and more. I also teach you how to spin up multiple Claude Code instances and have them work on your behalf; how to parallelize work using sub-agents; how to use Git work trees to accomplish many hours of work in just a few minutes; how to conserve tokens and use context management to crush your coding and software projects; how to deploy things to the cloud using Modal and related services, and in general... how to be awesome at Claude Code!

Learn to use Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK (formerly Claude Code SDK) for AI-powered development workflows! https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview https://x.com/trq212 **AI Summary** This workshop by Thariq Shihipar (Anthropic) details the architecture and implementation of the **Claude Agent SDK**. The session moves from high-level theory—defining "agents" as autonomous systems that manage their own context and trajectory—to a live-coding demonstration. Shihipar builds an agent "Harness" from scratch, implementing the core **Agent Loop** (Context Thought Action Observation), integrating the **Bash tool** for general computer use, and demonstrating **Context Engineering** via the file system to maintain state across long tasks. **Timestamps** 00:00 Introduction: Agenda and the "Agent" definition 05:15 The "Harness" concept: Tools, Prompts, and Skills 10:10 Live Coding Setup: Initializing the Agent class and environment 15:45 implementing the "Think" step: Getting the model to reason before acting 25:20 The Agent Loop: connecting `act`, `observe`, and `loop` 33:10 Tool Execution: Handling XML parsing and tool inputs 42:00 The "Bash" Tool: Giving the agent command line access 49:30 Safety & Permissions: "ReadOnly" vs "ReadWrite" file access 58:15 Context Engineering: Using `ls` and `cat` to build dynamic context 01:05:00 The "Monitor": Viewing the agent's thought process in real-time 01:12:45 Handling "Stuck" States: Feedback loops and error correction 01:21:20 Multi-turn Complex Tasks: Building a "Research Agent" demo 01:35:10 Refactoring patterns: "Hooks" and deterministic overrides 01:48:39 Q&A: Reproducibility, helper scripts, and non-determinism 01:50:31 Q&A: Strategies for massive codebases (50M+ lines) 01:52:00 Closing remarks and future SDK roadmap * **Evolution of AI Capabilities:** Shihipar argues we are shifting from **LLM Features** (categorization, single turn) to **Workflows** (structured, multi-step chains like RAG) to **Agents**. He defines agents as systems that *"build their own context, decide their own trajectories, and work very autonomously"* rather than following a rigid pipeline. * **The Claude Agent SDK Architecture:** The SDK is built directly on top of **Claude Code** because Anthropic found they were *"rebuilding the same parts over and over again"* for internal tools. * **The Harness:** A robust agent requires more than just a model; it needs a "Harness" containing Tools, Prompts, a **File System**, Skills, Sub-agents, and Memory. * **Opinionated Design:** The SDK bakes in lessons from deploying Claude Code, specifically the "opinion" that general computer use (Bash) is often superior to bespoke tools. * **The Agent Loop & Intuition:** Building a successful agent loop is described as *"kind of an art or intuition"*. The loop generally follows a **Gather Context Take Action Verify Work** cycle. Shihipar emphasizes that this loop allows the agent to self-correct, a capability missing from rigid workflows. * **Strategies for Determinism (Hooks):** During the Q&A, a technique for controlling agent behavior is discussed: **Hooks**. * If an agent hallucinates or skips a step (e.g., guessing a Pokemon stat instead of checking a script), a hook can intercept the response and inject feedback: *"Please make sure you write a script, please make sure you read this data."* * This enforces rules like "read before you write" without retraining the model. * **Scaling to Large Codebases:** For massive codebases (50M+ lines), standard tools like `grep` or basic context window stuffing fail. * **Semantic Search Limitations:** Shihipar notes that while semantic search is a common solution, it is *"brittle"* because the model isn't trained on the specific semantic index. * **Solution:** He recommends good **"Claude MD"** files (context files) and starting the agent in a specific subdirectory to limit scope, rather than trying to index the entire 50M lines at once. --- Watch along with the corrected transcript, summary, timestamps and resources on this talk's official AIE page: https://ai.engineer/talks/TqC1qOfiVcQ-claude-agent-sdk-workshop Join our upcoming AI Engineer conferences (see https://ai.engineer landing page): - AIE New York, October 12–14 — the first AI Engineer Finance mainstage summit - AIEi Shanghai, November 5–6 — the first for meeting top Chinese labs and engineers - AIE CODE in SF, November 10–12 — the top AI Coding conference returns - AIEi Sydney, December 7–8 — the first AIEi run alongside NeurIPS 2026 in Sydney ---
