CCAR-F Exam Scenarios — Six Production Storylines

On exam day you see 4 of these 6 scenario contexts. Practicing across all six keeps you ready for any draw.

1 · Customer support resolution agent

Agent SDK support bot with MCP tools (customer/order/refund/escalate). Focus: orchestration, tool design, escalation/reliability, first-contact resolution without unsafe autonomy.

2 · Code generation with Claude Code

Team coding with slash commands, CLAUDE.md, and plan mode vs direct execution. Focus: Claude Code configuration and context management.

3 · Multi-agent research system

Coordinator plus search/analysis/synthesis/report subagents. Focus: orchestration, MCP/tools, context handoffs and coverage gaps.

4 · Developer productivity with Claude

Codebase exploration agents using built-in tools plus MCP. Focus: tool selection, Claude Code workflows, agent architecture.

5 · Claude Code for CI/CD

Automated review/test feedback in pipelines with low false positives. Focus: Claude Code + prompt/structured-output design.

6 · Structured data extraction

Unstructured documents → schema-validated JSON with retries and edge cases. Focus: prompt engineering/structured output and reliability.
