Learning roadmap

Learn in the order real systems demand.

Start with a verifiable Python project, define one API boundary, design a retryable run, then add agent behavior only where it earns its complexity.

Ordered learning path

Intermediate starting point

Add an agent only where judgment is needed

Run the deterministic example, keep validation, tools, and deadlines outside the model, and apply the same discipline to coding agents.

Put a path to work

Complete one playbook and keep the output.

The resource page turns each path into a checklist with a named artifact, and every runnable example has a one-command verifier. New and updated guides are also available through RSS →
