In this lesson

Prepare for the Claude Certified Developer – Foundations exam, on the exam guide version 1.0, effective July 2026. In this lesson: built-in tools, custom tools, skills, and MCP servers, how a skill loads, skills on the API with code execution, the tradeoffs (context, reliability, sharing, effort, trust), CLAUDE.md and hooks, and plugins that bundle a whole setup. Includes three original practice questions.

Preview the topics
  • Driftwood’s finance team wants a monthly sales report as a real spreadsheet file, built from figures already in the request, without new code in the application. What fits best?
  • Driftwood’s coding agent, built on the Agent SDK, must read files, edit them, and run the test command, and a developer starts writing a custom tool for each. What fits best?
  • Three Driftwood teams should get the same release skill, review subagents, and linter hook, installed in one step and kept in sync. What fits best?
