Why we built this site
The official Claude Certified Architect exam launched. We needed a single-page path through 5 sprawling domains. So we built one.
When Anthropic announced the Claude Certified Architect (Foundations) exam, we did what every engineer does: opened twelve tabs. Anthropic docs, Claude Code reference, MCP spec, Agent SDK guide, prompt engineering page, six engineering blog posts, two recorded talks.
It's all good material. None of it is structured as a prep path. So we built one — a condensed curriculum, real practice questions, and a mock exam scored the way the real one is.
What we kept and what we cut
We kept anything that maps to a tested objective. We cut history, philosophy, and demo videos that don't sharpen exam answers. The result is 30 lessons you can finish in a weekend.
What's coming
We'll keep updating this site as model versions ship and as exam coverage broadens. The journal is where we share what we're seeing — what changed, what's tested, what's worth your time.
