stop being a passenger in your own ide

ai writes most of your code now. the developer path teaches you to read it, debug it, direct it, and ship a working agent of your own.

who this is for

you write code, or you're trying to. you use cursor or claude code every day, and you can feel the gap between "it ran" and "i know why it ran." this path closes that gap.

what you'll be able to do

read, debug, and direct any ai-generated python on sight. understand mutation, state, errors, and the agent loop well enough to catch what the model got wrong. ship and maintain a production agent harness. you finish by building a working cli agent in the capstone.

the route, in order

start in agent studio by shipping a metered, testable agent feature with a real failure boundary. the shared builder spine supplies the code-reading, model, tooling, and evaluation skills needed to maintain it. self-paced; the full route is listed below.

how it works

no videos, no fizzbuzz. every step shows a small piece of ai-written code. you read it, predict what it does, find the bug, fix it, run it. it all runs in your browser.

where you end up

reads, debugs, and directs any ai-generated python. ships and maintains production agent harnesses. completes the capstone cli agent.
