Enterprise governance for AI coding assistants—from the person who's been warning you about the gap
After the shadow tools newsletter, I got more replies than any issue I've written. Same question, different words:
"Okay. You convinced me. Now what do I actually do about it?"
Then last week I mentioned on LinkedIn that I was building something for enterprise teams deploying Claude Code. Within 48 hours, three companies asked if I'd do it as a private workshop on their codebase.
That told me two things: the need is real, and it's urgent.
So I built the fix.
What I Built
Claude Code Enterprise Mastery is a 4.5-hour course that covers the full enterprise governance stack for AI coding assistants—specifically Claude Code, which is quickly becoming the tool serious engineering teams are standardizing on.
This isn't a beginner tutorial. This is the security-first, compliance-ready, production-grade configuration that your engineering leadership needs before (or, more likely, after) these tools are already in the building.
What it covers: enterprise deny rules and permission hierarchies, CLAUDE.md as persistent team infrastructure, custom skills and hooks, sandbox mode for OS-level isolation, multi-agent development with parallel worktrees, CI/CD pipelines with automated security review, MCP integration, cost management with real token tracking, and compliance frameworks for SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Every configuration is demonstrated live on a real codebase. No slides-only theory. No "consult your security team." The actual settings, the actual terminal, the actual deployment.
Why I Built It
Because I practice what I preach.
At AI Guru, we use AI coding assistants every day. I told you that in the shadow tools newsletter. The developers on my team who use them are faster at scaffolding, testing, and refactoring. But we made those decisions deliberately—with deny rules, scoped permissions, and clear boundaries around what the tools can and can't touch.
Most organizations haven't made those decisions. Because nobody asked.
This course is the bridge between the governance problem I've been writing about and the operational fix your engineering teams need. Here's the thing most leaders don't realize: by default, Claude Code runs with your full shell permissions. Your .env files. Your SSH keys. Your AWS credentials. All accessible. That's not a misconfiguration. That's the factory setting.
When I cover Bedrock deployment in the course, I'm not reading docs—I helped build the platform at AWS. When I cover compliance, I'm drawing from fifteen years in regulated financial environments at Citi, JPMorgan, and Bloomberg.
The Offer
I'm making the first 100 enrollments free for AI Guru Nuggets subscribers.
No catch. No upsell on the backend. I want this in the hands of the people who've been reading these newsletters and asking "what do we actually do about this."

Two Paths, Same Problem
If you're reading this newsletter, you're probably not the person taking the course yourself. You're the person who decides how the organization responds.
Path 1: Self-serve. Forward the Udemy course to your VP of Engineering, your CISO, your platform team lead. They take it on their own time, configure their own projects. First 100 enrollments are free for subscribers. Good for teams that can run with it.
Path 2: We do it together. Since I announced this on LinkedIn, several companies have already reached out asking for something more hands-on—a private workshop on their codebase, with their team, configured to their policies.
So we built that too.
The Claude Code Enterprise Workshop is a half-day virtual session. I work directly with your engineering team—up to 10 people—and we configure the full governance stack on your actual repos. Deny rules, CLAUDE.md, custom skills, CI/CD hooks, compliance posture. You walk away with everything committed, documented, and production-ready. Not a training exercise. A deployment.
$2,500 for up to 10 participants. Half a day. Your codebase leaves governed.

The course teaches you how. The workshop gets it done. Pick the one that fits your team.
The Bottom Line
I've spent the last four newsletters telling you that AI governance gaps are board issues waiting to surface. The kill switch problem. The human-in-the-loop illusion. Shadow tool adoption. The talent gap nobody's budgeted for.
This course is me putting my own work where my argument is. The tools are already inside the building. Here's how to govern them.
First 100 free. Forward this to the person on your team who needs it most.
P.S. If your engineering team is already using AI coding assistants without enterprise governance—and statistically, they are—this isn't a "nice to have." It's the configuration that should have existed before the tools were adopted.
