Exam blueprint & study guides
The official five domains, their weightings, and a free in-depth guide for each.
Agentic Architecture & Orchestration
27% of the examThe heaviest domain. Design agentic systems: the agentic loop, multi-agent topologies, subagent isolation, sessions, and when to let the model decide vs hard-code control flow.
Tool Design & MCP Integration
18% of the examDesign tools the model can select reliably, handle structured errors, and integrate the Model Context Protocol end to end.
Claude Code Configuration & Workflows
20% of the examConfigure and operate Claude Code: the CLAUDE.md hierarchy, slash commands and Skills, permission models, iterative refinement, and headless CI/CD usage.
Prompt Engineering & Structured Output
20% of the examWrite effective prompts and produce reliable structured output with tool use, validation-retry loops, and review patterns.
Context Management & Reliability
15% of the examKeep long-running systems reliable: manage the context window, set escalation rules, propagate errors, calibrate confidence with human review, and annotate provenance.
