This playlist is dedicated to the full course for the Claude Certified Architect, I have made it in a way such that once you go through the videos and concepts that I have explained here it should be enough to pass the exam, the playlist is still getting updated so stay tuned!

Stop trusting your system prompt for critical business logic. In this episode of the Claude Certified Architect Full Course, we cover the enforcement layer that separates production-grade agents from demo agents — hooks. You'll learn exactly how PreToolUse and PostToolUse hooks work, why they're deterministic while prompts are probabilistic, and how to pick the right task decomposition strategy for any workflow. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 1:30 Why Prompts Fail? 5:46 What are Hooks? 8:44 Hooks with Agentic Loops 11:32 PostToolUse Hook Hands On 17:10 PreToolUse Hook Hands On 22:18 Prerequisite Gates. 27:40 Running the whole code. 32:02 Structured Handoff summaries. 37:02 Prompt Chaining & Dynamic Decomposition 43:10 Question Patterns & Tricks. 🎯 EXAM COVERAGE Domain 1 — Task Statements 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 Scenarios: Customer Support Agent + CI/CD Pipeline 📌 KEY CONCEPTS - PreToolUse hooks — run before the tool, can block the call entirely - PostToolUse hooks — run after the tool, before the model sees the result - Prerequisite gates — programmatic call ordering, model cannot override - Handoff summaries — structured escalation context for human agents - Prompt chaining vs dynamic decomposition — when to use each 🗂️ FULL COURSE PLAYLIST → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldqOnljDINc&list=PLviC8AFqAj5A9MHkRIn2fU5Ac2lEdJxNf&index=4 Github Repo - https://github.com/aakash1999/claude-certified-architect This is Episode 05.
