Setting up your workspace for agentic coding

Duration: 45 min

Module goals

• Check the base environment (Node.js, Git, terminal) and use the error message to tell which tool needs to be installed
• Install Claude Code, make sure it launches, and get the terminal settings into working shape
• Explain what role AGENTS.md plays for the agent in a project folder and why CLAUDE.md holds the line @AGENTS.md
• Write an AGENTS.md the agent will follow: short, specific, with a split between “what I delegate / what I decide myself”
