What You'll Build

This bootcamp is designed to be practical. Every day ships something you can demo: a tool-use agent loop, a RAG pipeline, a streaming workflow, and a capstone assistant.

Tool-use Agent Loop

Implement the full Claude tool use loop with schema-driven tools, error handling, and iteration guards.

RAG Pipeline

Chunk → embed → store → retrieve → augment. Compare RAG vs non-RAG answers and learn evaluation basics.

Node.js Automation

Build production-minded workflows in Node.js 18+: streaming, testing, lint tooling, and developer experience patterns.

SFCC Context (Plus)

Learn enough SFCC to talk architecture and integration points confidently, with a practical “where Claude helps” mindset.

Capstone Assistant

A demoable CLI assistant combining tools + RAG + streaming for a realistic dev workflow automation story.

Interview Readiness

Mock interview prompts, system design framing, and clear explanations of agentic patterns and trade-offs.

7-Day Curriculum

A focused, role-aligned plan. Each day includes a clear goal and outputs you can reuse in a portfolio or live demo.

Day 1 · Anthropic API Foundations & Tool Use

Set up the SDK, make your first call, master message format and tool use.

  • • Anthropic SDK setup (Node.js)
  • • Tool schemas, strict inputs, tool_use → tool_result loop
  • • Error handling and iteration guards

Day 2 · Agentic Patterns & Claude Code

Design multi-step agent loops with context management, orchestration and subagents.

  • • ReAct and tool planning
  • • Context pruning / summarisation strategies
  • • Orchestrator-worker pattern

Day 3 · RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

Build a complete RAG pipeline: chunk → embed → store → retrieve → augment Claude.

  • • Chunking strategies + overlap
  • • Vector store basics and retrieval tuning
  • • Expose retrieval as a Claude tool

Day 4 · Node.js 18+ & Developer Workflow Automation

Demonstrate production-grade Node.js skills and build an AI-powered dev tool.

  • • Streaming patterns, async iteration
  • • Built-in testing with node:test
  • • Tooling: linting, formatting, and DX

Day 5 · Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC)

Learn enough SFCC to discuss architecture and AI integration points confidently.

  • • Cartridges, SFRA, Business Manager fundamentals
  • • OCAPI vs SCAPI and integration patterns
  • • Identify “high leverage” automation opportunities

Day 6 · Capstone: SFCC Dev Assistant

Build a demoable CLI assistant combining tools + RAG + streaming.

  • • CLI interface and structured outputs
  • • Tools: docs search, scaffolding, mock OCAPI, lint runner
  • • Streaming UX and iteration safety

Day 7 · Interview Prep: System Design & Storytelling

Walk in confident: technical sharpness + clear system design + portfolio demo.

  • • Mock system design: “AI-powered SFCC developer workflow automation”
  • • Agent safety, evaluation, and cost controls
  • • STAR stories and demo walkthrough
