- Operating rules (AGENTS.md)
✅ A memory system with:
- Index (MEMORY.md)
- Daily logs
- Detail files
- Proper save/load patterns
✅ Sub-agent capabilities for:
- Research tasks
- Execution tasks
- Parallel processing
✅ Tool proficiency with:
- File operations
- Web access
- Command execution
- Browser control
✅ Debugging skills to:

The Course Summary
| Module | Key Lesson |
|---|---|
| 0. Orientation | Agents ≠ prompts |
| 1. Mental Model | CEO/COO/Team architecture |
| 2. Setup | The brain is in the files |
| 3. Models | Right model for right task |
| 4. Memory | Compressed understanding |
| 5. First Agent | SOUL + Memory + Tools |
| 6. Sub-Agents | When (and when not) to spawn |
| 7. Tools | Precision vs thinking |
| 8. Debugging | Fix systems, not prompts |
| 9. Production | Ship and iterate |
The One Thing to Remember
You don't need better prompts. You need better systems.
Agent architecture beats prompt engineering. Every time.
Next Steps
- Keep building — Use your agent daily
- Keep iterating — Improve what doesn't work
- Keep learning — The field moves fast
- Share — Help others in the WhatsApp community

Final Note
You've invested 3-4 hours in this course.
That's less time than most people waste on a single failed AI project.
You now have the mental model and practical skills to build AI systems that actually work.
Go build something useful.
