    Watch the AI Basics session

    What you’ll take away

    Three ideas. One live hour. Then you actually know what people mean by 'agent stack.'

    Founders, PMs, marketers, operators & first-time AI builders

    The Sep 12 cohort is where you install skills and write your own SKILL.md. This free hour is the vocabulary and the map so that session isn't the first time you hear 'MCP' or 'loop.' One week earlier. One hour. Then the real work.

    01

    Skills beat scattered prompts

    You'll see why a SKILL.md is not 'a better prompt' — it's a reusable playbook an agent can pick up, and you'll watch one get written live.

    02

    MCP is how agents touch the world

    A 12-minute plain-language pass: host, client, server — and why skills without tools still stall at the chat box.

    03

    Loops are the missing diagram

    Trigger, act, check, repeat. Conceptual only — enough that 'agent' stops meaning 'chatbot with extra steps.'

    Day 01Sun, Sep 6, 2026 · 11:30 AM–12:30 PM GMT+5:30The 60-minute agent stack
    1. 01 Minutes 0–15 · Why prompts don't scale

      The three-layer model: rules, skills, context. Why the best operators stopped pasting the same prompt every Monday.

    2. 02 Minutes 15–35 · Create an agent skill, live

      SKILL.md anatomy — name, description, triggers, progressive disclosure. Watch a real skill get authored for a role like marketing, ops, or PM. This is the demo people come for.

    3. 03 Minutes 35–48 · MCP in plain language

      What Model Context Protocol actually is, what it is not, and how it lets an agent use GitHub, a browser, or your own tools without you becoming a backend engineer today.

    4. 04 Minutes 48–60 · Loop engineering (conceptual) + what's next

      The loop diagram: trigger → act → observe → retry or hand off. Then the path into the Sep 12–13 Agent Skills workshop, where you install and author skills yourself.

    What you’ll leave with
    • ✓Leave with a one-page map of skills, MCP, and loops
    • ✓See a SKILL.md created live — enough to try one after the call

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know before joining.

    Yes. The complete 1-hour workshop video is available to watch for free. No credit card is required.

    No. This hour is conceptual plus a live SKILL.md walkthrough. Skills are markdown, not Python. If you can write a numbered list, you can follow along.

    This is the map. Agent Skills (Sep 12–13) is the build: you install skills from the registry and author your own SKILL.md for your role. Come to this free hour first if you've never written a skill, heard of MCP, or seen an agent loop drawn out.

    You can watch the complete workshop video here for free. The live session has already taken place.

    Email gets you in. A free account opens the private starter kit (practice tools, pathways, blogs) so you can track this workshop and use Melo — our learning copilot — while you wait. Clicking that resources link also enrolls you. Use the same email.

    In the last few minutes we'll show the Sep 12–13 Agent Skills cohort — that's the session where you actually write and install skills. This hour stands on its own. No payment to be here.

    “I'm not technical. MCP had sounded like a protocol for other people. Yash explained it as 'how the agent reaches your tools' and it clicked in ten minutes.”

    Marcus Hale

    Founder, Austin

    “The loop diagram is the thing I still have on a sticky note. Prompt → skill → MCP → loop. Once you see the stack, every AI product demo makes more sense.”

    Elena Rossi

    Product marketer, Milan

    “Free, one hour, no pitch until the last two minutes — and the pitch was just 'here's the workshop next week if you want to write your own skill.' I registered that night.”
