AI Fluency for Builders — Claude Academy

Certified by Claude Academy in AI Fluency for Builders — a course built for product people, engineers, and makers who own the full arc from problem to shipped solution.

The course applies Anthropic's 4D Framework (Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence) to real builder work, from framing a customer problem to shipping a product. It was built in partnership with CodePath, drawing on research with engineers and product builders about their actual needs, concerns, and goals for AI adoption.

Key competencies covered:

• Defining AI Fluency and applying each of the 4Ds to the builder role • Identifying what current AI does well and where it reliably falls short, to set clear expectations for builder tasks • Decomposing a customer problem across the builder's toolkit and deciding what role AI plays at each stage • Writing acceptance tests that define "done" before a single line of code exists • Translating a user need into precise AI instruction using the Description Chain • Evaluating AI-generated work across five lenses: correctness, quality, fit, experience, and responsibility • Critiquing AI-generated designs with feedback specific enough to act on • Taking full ownership of what ships and making the call: ship it, fix it, or stop it

Key outcome: using AI intentionally, with clear judgment, while staying accountable for every product decision.
