Learners can set up an agent's working environment so it can act and self-correct.
Part 4 — Agentic execution
This part is dedicated to the AI-native craft. It is where the course title cashes out: orchestrating agents, in tactical terms, on top of everything built so far.
Outcome
Learners can set up an agent’s working environment so it can act and self-correct.
Planned coverage
- The harness: everything the agent needs to do bounded work and check itself.
- Tools and MCP: giving the agent the ability to act — run tests, query a database, hit an API — through tool use and MCP servers.
- Tactical exposure: what to expose and what to withhold.
- Skills and standards: encode the shared vocabulary and conventions from Module 4 as agent-readable artifacts.
- Context discipline: hand the agent the bounded slice — the module or boundary — not the whole repository.
Agent payoff
A well-built harness is what turns a guessing agent into a self-correcting one.
Seeds
The harness is what the delivery plan’s tasks run inside.
