Curriculum

Module A: Context Engineering & Orchestration

3 lessons

Lesson 1: Introduction to Repository-Level Prompting

The transition from single-prompt chat windows to folder-aware autonomous agents. Setting up a workspace directory that an AI agent can scan efficiently.

60 min

Lesson 2: Crafting the System Constitution (CLAUDE.md / AGENT.md)

High-density directives vs. conversational fluff. Defining build scripts, style preferences, and error handling boundaries. Writing a strict constraint file that stops an AI from changing your core packages.

75 min

Lesson 3: Context Budgeting & Token Management

Understanding the "Context Tax." How multi-file scanning multiplies token costs and how modular sub-rules protect your wallet. Breaking a giant rules file into modular domain rules (ui-style.md, database.md).
