Claude Mastery Path — Five-Level Practical Curriculum

For public workshops and open courses. Built on our team’s own 16-module claude-course skeleton, deepened and restructured into five levels. Design principles: 1) build on existing, field-tested material; 2) every teaching unit ships with a reproducible Demo Pack (any instructor can run it live on stage); 3) every claim links back to real material in sources/. Created: 2026-06-26 | Status: in progress (L1 template first)

1. The Five-Level Map

Level	Name	Focus	Exit competency	Maps to claude-course modules
L1	Foundations	Chat fundamentals · Prompting framework · Artifacts · Safety awareness	Complete 3 types of everyday tasks using the prompting framework	Meet Claude, Your First Conversation, Prompting Essentials
L2	Personal Workflow	Files & multimodal · Artifacts · Design · Projects · Connected tools	Set up your own workspace + a personal SOP	Uploading Files, Artifacts, Design Work, Projects, Connecting Tools
L3	Agentic Work with Cowork	Deliverable mindset · Computer & file operations · Cross-source research · Permission safety	Delegate a task and receive a complete deliverable back	Claude Cowork
L4	Engineering Automation with Claude Code	Claude Code · Plan Mode / Subagents / Hooks · MCP · Skills · Automation	Direct work in natural language + automate one full workflow	Code Basics, Core Workflows, Skills, Memory Customization (CLAUDE.md), Automation
L5	Advanced Integration & Org Adoption	Deeper subagents & MCP · Claude in Slack (tag @Claude) · Governance · ROI · Adoption	Design a team AI workflow + an adoption roadmap	(extends the claude-course “power-user tips” track)

Cross-cutting threads (span all levels): safety (see 07_限制安全與失敗案例庫, the Limitations, Safety & Failure Case Library), six skill modules (presentations / integrations / extending / web data extraction / professional documents / UI & settings), the glossary quick reference, and instructor tips.

Prep resources: Teaching Radar Highlights/ — consensus points, demos, and quotable lines distilled from 45 expert videos, each tagged with “which level it feeds into.” Use it when prepping to pick teaching approaches or find a great one-liner.

The progression arc: personal use → personal mastery → delegating to agents → engineering automation → organizational scale.

2. Fast Tracks by Role

Role	Recommended path	Key labs
Office & Admin	L1 → L2 → (L3)	Document summaries, slide decks, meeting action items, cross-file consolidation
Sales	L1 → L2 → L3	Prospect research, proposals, follow-up emails, client meeting prep
Nonprofit Advocacy	L1 → L2 → L3 → (L4)	Policy research, press releases, data storytelling, public-hearing prep
Founders	L1 → L2 → L4 → L5	Market research, MVPs, marketing content, automation, fundraising

3. The Demo Pack Standard (required for every teaching unit)

The goal: any instructor can run the demo live, unassisted. Every demo follows the same fixed fields:

Field	What it covers
Goal	One sentence: what learners should see or learn from this demo
Difficulty / ⏱ Time	Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced; 5-, 15-, or 45-minute versions
Prerequisites	Account plan, tools, and where it runs (Chat / Cowork / Claude Code)
Test data	Always dummy data, with instructions for generating it; never touch real confidential material
⌨ Copy-paste prompt	Localized, real-world scenarios — ready to paste and run
Expected output	What the result should look like when it works
Failure signals & fallback	Warning signs the demo went sideways + how to recover live (including when the network dies)
Wrap-up line	One sentence to land the takeaway after the demo
Source material	Which file or video transcript in `sources/` to go deeper

Which demos can be pre-generated? (this curriculum’s rule of thumb)

Pre-generatable: sample HTML Artifacts, example prompts with expected outputs, sample documents → stored in LX/demo包/ so instructors can show them directly or use them as a reference.
Requires live operation: anything that must be clicked through in the real claude.ai / Cowork / Claude Code interface, or needs a real account or paid feature → written up as a step-by-step runbook and logged in 待處理_需你操作.md (the “pending: requires live operation” checklist) with full how-to steps.

4. Lesson Structure per Level

Measurable learning objectives → core modules → multiple Demo Packs → four-track hands-on labs → anti-patterns & common mistakes → capstone project → competency rubric → bridge to the next level.

5. How to Use This Curriculum

Instructor prep: read the level’s LX_教案.md (lesson plan) → dry-run the pre-generatable demos in demo包/ → work through the live-operation demos per 待處理_需你操作.md.
Teaching: pair with 05_教案/工作坊簡報.pptx (workshop deck) and the Demo_Runbook.
Verification discipline: re-verify all star ratings, prices, plans, and third-party figures before every class (see the source ledger at index/來源台帳.md).
