This advanced path is designed for Python developers who want to build sophisticated agentic AI applications using the Claude Agent SDK. You will begin by configuring the SDK alongside Claude Code, launching agents, processing responses, and integrating built-in tools.

You will then develop stateful workflows that maintain context across interactions using long-running clients. You will connect external Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, turn Python functions into custom tools, and coordinate specialized sub-agents for complex multi-step tasks.

Finally, you will strengthen agent behavior with lifecycle hooks for guardrails, source attribution using CLAUDE.md, persistent project context, and reusable Agent Skills. The path emphasizes robust, secure, and context-aware agent orchestration.
