From prompt to autonomous team

Work through the map from left to right. Each node is one idea and one small thing to try. Read the official source, do the steps in your own repository, answer the check question, then mark the node as learned.

Teaching method: learn by doing, in small steps. Each lesson builds on the one before it. Progress is saved in this browser only. The reasoning is in docs/learning-method.md.

Prompts & context

Write a prompt with a goal, inputs, constraints, and an output format, and know which files to attach as context.

Try it

Pick one repeated task you do each week.
Write the prompt as: goal, context, constraints, output format.
Run it twice. Change one line each time and note what changed.

Example: `prompt.md`

Goal: summarize today's AI news for a developer.
Context: @data/news.json
Constraints: max 5 bullets, each with a source link.
Output: markdown list.

Check yourself

Why does a prompt that names an output format usually give more consistent results?
