Claude Cowork: Extending Capabilities

Claude Cowork Extending Capabilities begins with Skill authoring (scope, drift testing, versioning, and publishing to the open standard), then moves into building and shipping plugins with proper permissions, secrets handling, and private enterprise marketplaces. From there students go deep on custom MCPs that mutate state, run async, compose inside plugins, and fail usefully, then graduate to Managed Agents; including multi-agent orchestration, cross-session memory, and outcomes-driven self-improvement. The course closes with a capstone in which students assemble a production-grade IDirectShips stack for a fictional customer. By the end, students will be able to package, harden, and operate reusable Claude Code capabilities across an organization.
