In this lesson
Prepare for the Claude Certified Developer – Foundations exam, on the exam guide version 1.0, effective July 2026. In this lesson: the CLAUDE.md hierarchy, imports, and path-scoped rules, settings.json precedence and deny rules, pinned model snapshots and aliases, versioned prompts, and plugin dependencies with semantic version ranges. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- Driftwood’s shared project settings allow every git command, and one developer’s local settings deny git push. What happens when Claude tries to push for that developer?
- Driftwood’s CI job runs Claude Code with the opus alias, and a new Opus version changes the job’s results overnight. What should the team have done?
- Driftwood’s plugin calls a tool from a dependency at version 2.1, and the next release, 2.2, renames that tool. Which dependency entry keeps the plugin working?
