Vibe Check: Claude Code Unpacked: How to Actually Ship with AI Tooling

Sarah Deaton, Technical Content Engineer at Anthropic and the person who owns the Claude Code docs, joined myself and my co-host Angela Zhou  (Sr Technical Curriculum Dev @ Temporal)  to walk through what's new and what's underused in Claude Code. We covered Claude Design for non-designers, the difference between CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, and subagents (and when to reach for each), routines that run on schedules or GitHub events, the new rewind feature, auto mode, forked subagents, and the layers of sandboxing available for safer execution.

Topics covered:
Claude Design for visual work, mockups, and slide decks (and the handoff into Claude Code)
When to use CLAUDE.md vs skills vs hooks vs subagents
Why hooks are the deterministic layer underneath the model and where teams misuse CLAUDE.md
Slash init for scaffolding a new repo with Claude Code
Routines: scheduled tasks plus GitHub events and API triggers
Rewind: pulling failed attempts out of the context window without polluting the next try
Auto mode and the classifier that gates risky actions
Forked subagents: subagents that inherit the full conversation but keep their work isolated
Sandboxing tiers: slash sandbox, dev containers, VMs, and Claude Code on the web
