# Copy any template and start using immediately
How LearnAI Team Could Use This
- Student onboarding — Assign beginner modules (3 hours) before any Claude Code project. Everyone starts from the same baseline.
- Workshop curriculum — The 10 modules map to a 2-day workshop. Each has success criteria for hands-on verification.
- Template library — The 119 templates save hours of configuration. Copy-paste for course-specific workflows (code review hooks, testing skills, documentation generators).
- Offline reference — Build the EPUB for students who work offline or want a printable reference.
- Compared to nagdy.me — claude-howto is template-heavy (copy-paste), nagdy.me is exercise-heavy (interactive simulator). Use both: nagdy.me for learning, claude-howto for templates.
Real-World Use Cases
- Team adoption — Engineering teams clone the repo, take the quiz, each person follows their level. Consistent skill baseline in a week.
- CI/CD integration — The advanced module covers deployment automation with Claude Code CLI.
- Plugin development — Module 10 teaches building distributable plugins, from SKILL.md to marketplace listing.
- Security workflows — Hook templates for pre-commit security scanning and code audit automation.
