Master the foundational framework for building AI systems that scale. You'll learn the autonomy spectrum—distinguishing automation, workflows, and agents—and the six building blocks (Prompt, Context, Project, Skill, Agent, MCP) that professional builders use. By the end, you'll identify which building blocks any workflow needs, avoiding the common mistake of reaching for fully autonomous agents when simpler approaches work better.
Objectives¶
- Distinguish between automation, workflows, and agents on the autonomy spectrum
- Explain why agentic approaches outperform zero-shot prompting for multi-step tasks
- Identify which building blocks (Prompt, Context, Project, Skill, Agent, MCP) apply to a workflow
- Classify example workflows on the autonomy spectrum and identify building blocks in a sample workflow
