With Claude Code running, this section teaches you to extend its capabilities. You'll learn how skills package reusable expertise, how subagents divide complex work, how MCP connects Claude to external tools, and how the settings hierarchy ties it all together.
Build your understanding of Claude Code's extensibility architecture from individual skills through full MCP integration.
By completing this section, you will transition from isolated prompting to becoming an Agent Architect. You will possess the ability to design specialized subagent systems and leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect your agents directly to your data and infrastructure with unprecedented velocity.
