Time: Read 5 min

You just finished the foundations. This module is where you go next, what to watch for, and how to get help.

The Next Course at WEO — Intermediate

The natural next step inside this wiki is the WEO Intermediate Claude course. It picks up exactly where this one ends — promotes prompts from chat messages to reusable artifacts, goes deep on skills (shop / vet / build), connects Claude to your tools through MCP and Connectors with the WEO Council approval workflow, tours the production multi-agent systems WEO actually runs (Pulse, OmniPresence, Clawdbot), introduces the automation primitives (Routines, Scheduled Tasks, Channels, Hooks, Dispatch), and bridges to Claude Code for team members who are ready. Dual-tracked: Operator for claude.ai-only roles, Builder for team members who want hands-on Claude Code time. Smile Springs is still the recurring fictional client, so the worked examples compound across both courses.

Modules 1–3 are live now; Modules 4–7 publish across the next two weeks. Open it when you’re done with this course.

Everyone at WEO who uses Claude on real client work is encouraged to complete Anthropic’s Claude 101. It’s free, about 90 minutes, and gives the team a common baseline on Claude’s core features.

The Rest of Anthropic Academy

Anthropic Academy is free. These are the courses most relevant to WEO work, in recommended order after Claude 101:

For everyone

  • Claude 101 — foundation. Certificate. (Recommended, ~90 min.)
  • AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations — the 4D Framework (Delegation / Description / Discernment / Diligence). Deepens your prompting mental model beyond what Module 2 covers. Certificate. (Recommended, ~60 min.)
  • AI Capabilities and Limitations — how AI models actually work, where they fail. Good literacy primer.

For marketing / account / content leads

  • Introduction to Claude Cowork — Cowork is Claude working directly on your files and folders. For anyone handling lots of documents and assets. Bigger mental model shift than regular Claude.ai.
  • Introduction to Agent Skills — how to author your own Skills. Useful once you’ve identified a repeated task where you want to lock in output consistency.

For engineering-adjacent / power-user roles

Anthropic’s Tutorials Library

Anthropic tutorials are shorter (5–15 min reads) and topic-specific. Worth bookmarking:

Cowork tutorials (new April 2026)

If Module 6 made Cowork sound interesting and you’re ready to spend time with it:

Community YouTube Creators

Anthropic’s materials are the foundation. These creators publish dense Claude-specific walkthroughs on YouTube — good for seeing how practitioners actually use features before you do.

Nate Herk — AI Automation (685k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@nateherk/videos

Nearly every video is Claude Code / Skills / Agents / Claude Design practical walkthroughs, posted 2–5× per week. Already cited in this wiki for Routines and HeyGen Studio Automation. Highest-value videos by module:

Peter Yang (86.5k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@PeterYangYT/videos

Former Product Lead at Reddit, publishes “practical AI tutorials and expert interviews for busy people.” Strong PM/product framing; many videos are guest walkthroughs with Anthropic staff, Cowork’s design lead, Figma’s CEO, etc. Best picks for this course:

Simon Scrapes — AI Automation (72.5k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@simonscrapes/videos

Tagline: “Build agentic systems that run your business.” Systematic/analytical style — lots of “Every X Explained,” “X Levels of Y” videos — good complement to Nate Herk’s demo-heavy content. Business-owner framing. Best picks:

Rick Mulready (109k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@RickMulready/videos

The most WEO-audience-aligned creator of the four — explicitly “how to leverage AI in your online business.” Claude.ai (web app) and Cowork focus rather than Claude Code. Business-user framing throughout. Best picks:

Futurepedia (691k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@futurepedia_io/videos

Broadest scope of the five — covers the whole AI tool landscape, not just Claude. Most relevant when you’re new to AI overall and want breadth (ChatGPT, Gemini, Nano Banana, video generators, music generators) alongside Claude. Tagline: “Learn to leverage AI tools and acquire AI skills to future-proof your life and business.” Best Claude-specific picks:

Eliot Prince (individual creator + AI Recipe Vault)

YouTube: search “Eliot Prince” + Claude topic; site eliotprince.com.

Individual practitioner-creator. Tagline: “Help people learn to automate their businesses with Claude.” Distinct from the high-volume channels above — Eliot publishes long-form tutorials with downloadable companion docs (“AI Recipe Vault”). Already cited in the wiki for Five Claude Skills To Build Right Now (Decision Council, Framework Reverse Engineer, Lyra Prompt Writer, Amazon Shopper, Branded LinkedIn Carousel Generator — four ship as .skill downloads). Best picks:

  • Module 1 — Beginners settings + Memory walkthrough: First Steps to Using CLAUDE AI (full beginners masterclass) (46 min). Covers the same scope as Module 1 from a different teacher’s perspective. Two specific takeaways not covered visually in the Anthropic-anchored material — turn off the Settings → Privacy → “Help improve Claude” toggle on Pro plans (so your work doesn’t train the model), and Eliot’s voice-record-then-paste pattern for loading Memory (record an 11-minute story of your role/context with any voice-recorder, paste the transcript into Claude, ask it to extract memory entries — the one genuinely portable technique not in Anthropic’s material). Uses Google Recorder in the demo; works with WhisperFlow / Glo / built-in iOS dictation equally.
  • Module 6 — Skills: Five Claude Skills To Build Right Now — five different skill recipes with installable .skill downloads. Covered in depth at the wiki article.

RoboNuggets — Jay E (141k subs)

Direct: youtube.com/@RoboNuggets/videos

Creator-focused channel with nearly daily output (~960 videos, many short-form). Mission: “make creating with AI easy to learn & earn from, no matter your background.” Strongest on Claude + other-tool combinations (Claude + Excalidraw, Claude + NotebookLM, Claude + Seedance, Claude + image gen) and design/slides/diagram workflows. Best picks:

Paul Couvert (referenced in Module 5)

Single best Claude Design first-exposure walkthrough — see Module 5 for the link.

This Wiki

You’re reading it now. The Karpathy LLM Wiki (karpathy-llm-wiki.7yd9nx2nds.workers.dev) is a living knowledge base maintained by an LLM librarian under an LLM-enforced vault schema (an extension of Karpathy’s LLM-wiki pattern — see the pattern reference article). It tracks:

The wiki updates continuously as new tools launch and best practices evolve. Search it when you hit a specific question or want to go deeper on any topic.

For Credentialing

Claude Certified Architect — Foundations (CCA) — Anthropic’s formal technical certification for architecting production systems with Claude. Launched March 12, 2026 as the first credential in a planned stack (seller / developer / advanced architect tiers coming later in 2026).

Quick facts:

  • Format: 120-minute proctored exam, 60 multiple-choice questions anchored on 6 production scenarios.
  • Passing score: 720 / 1000.
  • Cost: $99 per attempt (free for the first 5,000 employees of Claude Partner Network orgs).
  • Domains: agentic architecture (~45%), tool design & MCP integration, Claude Code workflows, prompt engineering, context management.
  • Prep: Anthropic Academy’s 13 preparation courses (free, on Skilljar) cover the full scope — including several of the courses already in your “For engineering-adjacent” list above.
  • Registration: through Anthropic Academy on Skilljar. Third-party guide: claudecertifiedarchitect.net.

Not required at WEO. Useful for anyone going deep on systems design with Claude — primarily engineering-adjacent roles. See full CCA reference in this wiki.

The WEO AI Council

The council exists to answer the questions this course can’t. Examples of what to bring:

  • “Can I use Claude Design for the [CLIENT] rebrand deck?”
  • “The client asked if we use AI — what’s the current disclosure language?”
  • “I found a new AI tool that looks great — what’s the approval process?”
  • “This Skill I want to install requires a new connector — is that OK?”
  • “I’m not sure if this data is Level 2 or Level 3 — can someone help me classify?”

Reach the council via the council charter — it lists the members, their areas of responsibility, and contact protocol. Using the council is a sign of strong judgment, not weakness.

Requesting New Tools

WEO maintains an approved-tools list (currently for Marketing: ChatGPT / Claude / Jasper.ai / Copy.ai / Canva AI). If you want a tool added:

  1. Write a one-page proposal — what is it, what problem does it solve, what data does it access, what’s the cost, and who else is using it.
  2. Bring it to the AI council.
  3. If approved, IT provisions and adds it to the tracked tools list in Ranger.

Don’t just start using something on a personal account and hope for the best. See Module 7 for why.

Contributing Back

This wiki is a living knowledge base. If you learn something worth keeping:

  • Drop source material (PDFs, articles, tweets, transcripts) into raw/.
  • Say “compile” to the wiki’s Claude Code instance to process them.
  • Ask questions against the wiki. If a question requires external research, the system auto-researches and files the answer as a new article.

See the Karpathy-pattern reference article for how these wikis are structured.
