New to Claude, LLMs, agents, MCP, or the concepts behind CCAR-F? This foundations path covers the essential building blocks we need before diving into the five CCAR-F exam domains. Simple explanations, practical examples, illustrations, and hopefully without turning a few basic questions into another 27 browser tabs.
I'm preparing for CCAR-F Domain 1: Agentic Architecture & Orchestration, the largest domain at 27% of the exam. We'll break down what Anthropic expects us to understand about agentic loops, multi-agent orchestration, subagents, task decomposition, workflows, Agent SDK hooks, and session management — in plain English, with examples, illustrations, hands-on experiments, and the architectural trade-offs that actually matter.
