Chapter Template

Use this structure for every curriculum chapter so the playbook stays consistent, practical, and build-oriented.

Required sections​

  1. Beginner explanation
    Define the concept in plain language and explain why it matters in an agentic product.
  2. Production explanation
    Show what changes when the concept must survive traffic, failures, budgets, and compliance.
  3. Enterprise example
    Use a realistic workflow such as support ops, finance approvals, internal search, or QA automation.
  4. Architecture diagram
    Prefer Mermaid. Keep the diagram tied to a buildable workflow.
  5. TypeScript implementation
    Show the application path most web teams would use.
  6. Python implementation
    Add a Python version when the topic is backend, data, orchestration, or eval-heavy.
  7. Common mistakes
    Focus on failure modes teams actually hit in production.
  8. Mini exercise
    One short hands-on task that can be completed in under 30 minutes.
  9. Project assignment
    Tie the chapter to one of the main portfolio projects.
  10. Interview questions
    Use questions that test engineering judgment, not trivia.
  11. Monetization angle
    Explain how the capability can become consulting, product, or internal platform leverage.

Writing rules​

  • Start with the job to be done, not a definition dump.
  • Prefer system diagrams, payloads, prompts, schemas, and handler code over abstract theory.
  • Keep examples small enough to understand, but realistic enough to extend.
  • Every chapter should make the learner ship a visible artifact.
  • When in doubt, answer this question: "What would I build next with this?"
