TDD with Claude Code in .NET: red-green-refactor with a Stop hook and a guardian subagent

**TDD** is the perfect leash for a coding agent: the test written *first* defines the behaviour, and the agent writes ==only the code that makes it pass==. In this tutorial I build a **.NET Minimal API** with *Claude Code* in pure red-green-refactor, and I mount two guardrails: a **Stop hook** that re-runs `dotnet test` whenever the agent tries to call itself "done", and a **subagent** that checks the tests were not weakened.

Claude Code in GitHub Actions: automated PR review with claude-code-action

The review loop I run locally with *Claude Code* — diff, critique, fix — can run on its own in CI. With **claude-code-action**, every pull request allowed by the trigger and fork policy gets an ==automatic review==, while an authorized collaborator can use an `@claude` mention to request an answer or a code change. I start in **non-interactive mode** (`claude -p`), move the prompt into GitHub Actions, and set separate guardrails for ==tools, turns, budget and permissions==.

Keep Claude Code out of sensitive files: a PreToolUse hook for .env, keys and secrets

A **PreToolUse hook** in *Claude Code* is the simplest, most reliable barrier to stop the agent from opening, reading or editing sensitive files — `.env`, keys, credentials, private folders. I walk through the setup I use: a tiny script that reads the JSON on stdin, checks the path of a `Read`/`Edit`/`Write` call and ==exits with code 2== to block the tool before it runs, returning a message Claude reads and understands. A few lines of bash, one entry in `settings.json`, and your repo is ==shielded== from even the most eager agent.

Custom skills for Claude Code: creating, testing and distributing them

A **skill** is a folder with a `SKILL.md` file: instructions *Claude Code* loads only when needed, not on every turn like `CLAUDE.md`. In this guide I build a real one — `changelog-entry`, which drafts a changelog section from the commits since the last tag — covering ==dynamic context==, arguments, pre-approved tools, supporting files and testing with `skill-creator`, down to choosing between a personal, project, or plugin skill.

Claude Code hooks: deterministic quality gates for lint, tests and safety

**Hooks** turn *Claude Code* from a persuadable assistant into a system with guarantees: they are shell commands that fire at precise points of the lifecycle and can ==block an action or fix it automatically==. In this guide I build four real *quality gates* — format and lint on `PostToolUse`, blocking dangerous commands on `PreToolUse`, mandatory green tests on `Stop`, project context on `SessionStart` — covering events, matchers, exit codes and JSON output.

From vibe coding to agentic engineering: what changes for Italian SMEs from 1 June 2026

On 1 June 2026 **GitHub Copilot's consumption-based billing** came into effect and Andrej Karpathy officially declared *vibe coding* a closed chapter, replaced by **agentic engineering**. ==For Italian SMEs this is not a semantic nuance==: the cost model changes, governance changes, and who can actually bring AI into production changes. Here is what to do in the next 8 weeks.

Vibe coding: what it is and how to bring AI into development

**Vibe coding** is the practice of delegating part of the code-writing to a *conversational AI assistant*, keeping the ==developer in the driving seat==. It is not hype: it is a **process change** that requires tools, policies, and metrics. Here is how to introduce it seriously.
