A practical course for developers and technical founders. By the end you will have built an agent that reads a codebase, calls tools and ships a change — the same patterns KnowCode uses in client work.

    The loop: model, tools, context. Why chat is the wrong mental model.

    Project layout, the tool registry, and your first tool call.

  3. 3 Tools that earn their keep Enrol to watch31 min

    Designing tool inputs the model can actually use; error shapes that recover.

  4. 4 Context, cost and caching Enrol to watch22 min
