Test Your Knowledge
This quiz covers all major topics from the Claude Code 101 course. Before attempting it, make sure you're comfortable with the core concepts from each section.
| Section | Key Topics to Review |
|---|---|
| What is Claude Code? | Tool use system, coding assistant architecture, Claude's advantages |
| Getting Hands On | Context management (/init, Claude.md, @, #), Plan vs Think mode, custom commands, MCP servers, GitHub integration |
| Hooks and the SDK | Pre vs post hooks, exit codes, matcher syntax, type checker pattern, SDK permissions and integration patterns |

Quiz Format
The quiz tests practical understanding, not memorization. Focus on understanding WHY things work the way they do -- when to use Plan vs Think mode, why hooks are fail-open, why the SDK defaults to read-only -- not just WHAT the features are.
Key Concepts to Master
- •Tool use: How language models interact with external systems through structured tool calls
- •Context management: The balance between too little and too much context, and the tools to manage it
- •Plan Mode vs Thinking Mode: When to use breadth (Plan) vs depth (Think) vs both
- •Custom commands: How to create, parameterize, and maintain reusable command workflows
- •MCP servers: How they extend Claude Code, installation, permission management
- •GitHub integration: Setup, default actions, customization, permission model
- •Hooks: Pre vs post, exit codes, matcher syntax, common patterns (type checker, dedup)
- •SDK: Three interfaces (CLI, TypeScript, Python), default read-only permissions, integration patterns
Key Takeaways
- ✓Review all three sections before attempting the quiz
- ✓Focus on practical understanding: when and why to use each feature, not just what they do
- ✓Key areas: tool use architecture, context management, Plan/Think modes, hooks, MCP servers, SDK
- ✓Understand the design principles: fail-open hooks, read-only SDK defaults, explicit GitHub permissions
- ✓The quiz tests real-world decision-making, not feature memorization
