What You'll Learn

The 10 Patterns

Each module teaches one pattern. You apply it immediately. Four phases: Foundation → Autonomy → Scale → Harden.

Module 1

Boot

First session setup. AGENTS.md, environment configuration, initial memory — everything that makes subsequent sessions work.

  • AGENTS.md as source of truth
  • Environment config that sticks
  • Initial memory: what the agent needs to know
Module 2

Skills

Reusable procedural knowledge your agent loads on demand. Build once, use forever.

  • Creating your first reusable skill
  • When to load vs. when to skip
  • Skill library organisation
Module 3

Memory

Durable context across sessions. Preferences, corrections, facts — remembered. Never re-explain.

  • Session memory vs. durable memory
  • Memory architecture patterns
  • Search and retrieval
Module 4

Decision Protocols

Autonomy without chaos. Rules your agent follows. When to ask, when to decide.

  • The micromanagement trap
  • Writing effective decision rules
  • Trust calibration over time
Module 5

Tool Composition

The right instrument for each task. Terminal vs. files vs. delegation — the difference between 30 seconds and 15 minutes.

  • When to use which tool
  • Avoiding tool misuse patterns
  • Custom tool configuration
Module 6

Orchestration

Multi-agent workflows. Complex work split across specialist agents working in parallel.

  • Role-based agent design
  • Parallel vs. sequential delegation
  • Managing agent communication
Module 7

Pipelines

Agents that run while you sleep. Cron jobs, build pipelines, monitoring — zero human intervention.

  • Scheduled agent workflows
  • Build and deploy pipelines
  • Pipeline composition
Module 8

Resilience

Never-stop loops. Failure recovery with retry, backoff, and self-healing. The agent finds another way.

  • Error categorisation
  • Retry strategies
  • Self-healing agents
Module 9

Verify

Trust but verify. Automated testing + human review cadence. Guardrails that catch problems — and a process for when they don't.

  • Automated tests after every action
  • Syntax, linting, type checking
  • Human review: cadence, what to look for, when to intervene
Module 10

Compounding

The feedback loop. Discoveries become skills. Skills compound. Agents that get better every session.

  • Saving discoveries as skills
  • Pattern recognition across sessions
  • The compounding maths
