Agent Mentor: from first request to export

You have a coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, or similar — with the Agent Mentor Skill installed, and nothing on your screen looks different. This course covers the five requests that operate the skill: ask for a course, work through a lesson, run a review session, update a course, and export one. Every step is a plain-language message to your own agent; you never type a command or open a code file. By the end you will have run the full loop once with a real topic of your choosing.

By the end you'll be able to (course objectives):

  • Write a course request that names the topic, your starting point, your gaps, and your goal, and judge whether it will trigger clarifying questions.
  • Use the reader's practice surfaces: completion criteria, interaction blocks, and the copy-to-agent entry points for stuck moments and deeper questions.
  • Run a spaced review session by asking your agent to quiz you, and read the closing report.
  • Request course changes that keep the quality check passing and your review records intact.
  • Export a finished course as a printable file or Anki flashcards, and judge when to re-export.

Prerequisites: A coding agent with the Agent Mentor Skill installed, and the ability to chat with it in plain language. No terminal, IDE, or programming knowledge is assumed.

Practice environment: Your own agent chat window and a browser for the local course reader. This course has no embedded sandbox.
