Become an agentic engineer without being a programmer
A year of using AI and your week looks the same. This is the road out, in order, at your own pace. A chat that has read all 107 lessons answers you inside any of them, 33 helpers arrive already written, and a scored exam at the end says which level you reached.
On the payroll:
One payment, and nothing renews. $199 across 107 lessons is under two dollars a lesson, and your 52 files download to your own computer and stay there.

You got good. Then the road ran out.
You watched the videos, saved the prompts, and taught yourself to pull a decent answer out of a chat box. Nobody handed you that. A year on you are typing into the same box, and the same work is sitting on your desk. The jobs you would hand off are the ones you have no way to check, so you keep doing them yourself at night.
Nothing joins up
One video showed you a trick. The next showed a different trick. Neither one said where the trick goes. So you collected tricks and finished nothing you still use.
You cannot check the work
AI sounds just as sure when it is wrong as when it is right, and you have no way to tell which is which. So the jobs that matter stay on your desk and only the small stuff goes over.
It lives in a browser tab
Close the tab and the setup goes with it. Whatever you built on Monday is gone by Tuesday, and you build it again.
Nothing bad happens today. That is the trap.
There is no deadline on any of this and no bill arrives for skipping it, so it runs for years.
Five rungs. You are standing on the bottom.
Each rung is something you can do that the rung below you cannot. Find yourself on it. Five hours in, AI is running on your own computer.
Beginner
Where you stand today. You type into a browser tab and take whatever comes back on trust.
Power user
by hour 4
You brief the AI properly, you know the places it lies, and your private files stay out of it.
Agent builder
by hour 10
AI runs on your own computer. You built the screen it reports to, and you can check a helper before you believe it.
Operator
by hour 16
You hand out work the way a manager does. The order is written down, the plan comes first, and anything you cannot undo stops and waits for your yes.
Agentic engineer
by hour 17
You design the system, your helpers remember what happened last week, and you take a real project start to finish on your own.
The hours are the course material added up, so they cover reading and following along. Give yourself more for the exercises, which run against your own work.
Ten past seven on a Tuesday
You are in bed with your phone. Three rows on the screen, all finished at six this morning while you slept. One pulled the numbers you asked for on Friday. Another drafted the reply you owe somebody, then stopped, because sending in your name needs your yes. The last one failed and wrote down why. You get up, read the draft, change a word, send it. Twenty past. Last year that was your whole morning.
- You set that clock. It runs whether or not you sit down that day.
- The stop before sending is a gate you put there yourself, and it holds anything you cannot take back until you say so.
- The row that failed wrote down why, so tomorrow starts where today stopped.
Look inside before you pay
Two things you will use every day. The lessons, and the chat sitting inside them that has read this course and nothing else.
- Meet AI, safely
- Off the browser, into the terminal
- Your command center
- Agents and skills
- Agentic engineering
- Capstone and memory

What the lessons are made of
Your place is saved for you
Six parts. Read the whole map before you pay.
Nothing here hides behind the button. Each part clears one thing that would stop you later, and no later part leans on something you have not met yet. Working out that order is the hard part of learning this, and it is the part that is already done.
- Part 1
Meet AI, safely
What these tools are, what they cannot do, and how to work with them without handing over anything you would regret.
5 modules · 18 lessons · 4 hours
- Part 2
Off the browser, into the terminal
Move from a browser chat to AI running on your own machine.
2 modules · 8 lessons · 1 hour
- Part 3
Your command center
One dashboard that shows what your agents are doing, reachable from your phone, running every day without you.
8 modules · 24 lessons · 3 hours
- Part 4
Agents and skills
Install agents through the lessons, run your first agent, package your own, and learn to verify what it did before you trust it.
4 modules · 15 lessons · 2 hours
- Part 5
Agentic engineering
The method: work orders, planning, harnesses, swarms, guardrails, validation and loops.
9 modules · 29 lessons · 6 hours

The exam. A score out of 800.
A hundred and fifty questions, three hours, one sitting, drawn fresh each time and covering all six parts. It is marked on our side rather than in your browser, so the score means something. Every sitting earns a level; a certificate is issued from Z3 up.
Z5
Foundational
0 to 199
You brief a model deliberately and you know the places it invents things.
Z4
Practitioner
200 to 319
You work outside the browser, on your own machine, against your own files.
Z3
Builder
320 to 419
You install helpers, point them at real work, and check a result before acting on it.
Z2
Engineer
420 to 529
You hand out work by written method, with a stop in front of anything you cannot undo.
Z1
Operator
530 to 599
You run a system that works while you are elsewhere and you can say why it is safe.
Z1+
Architect
600 to 800
You design the whole thing, your helpers carry memory between sessions, and you take a real project start to finish alone.
Every sitting earns a level and a report. A printable certificate is issued at 320 and above.
One screen. Everything your helpers did.
The biggest build in the course is the screen from that Tuesday, and you build it yourself. A year from now your work will look different. You will be able to change the screen, because you built every part of it.
- It shows every job your helpers ran and what each of them changed.
- It opens on your phone, and checking a run takes a glance.
- You start from a plan. The kit hands you a spec, a start here file, a build prompt and a release checklist.
- There is also a worksheet for the calls only you can make.
Thirty three helpers. Already written for you.
An agent is a helper you give a job to. It reports back on what it did. This course hands you a full set, already written and named for the work they do. The setup prompt installs them on your computer, and they stay there.
33
The helpers, named for their job
prompt-engineer turns a loose ask into a clear brief. planning-orchestrator breaks a big job into steps and puts them in order. validate-done refuses to call a job finished until the check has run. research-fact-checker checks a claim before you repeat it. copy-firewall reads your words before a customer does. destructive-action-gate holds anything you cannot undo until you approve it. Twenty three more come with them.
1
One prompt installs the lot
It reads the file out to you before it changes a thing. Each helper goes in the folder your tool reads. Anything already sitting there is left alone until you say so. Then it tells you what your computer is still missing.
52
Files that stay on your disk
Templates, prompts, checklists and worksheets. They sit on your own computer and stay yours whatever happens to this website.
24/7
A chat that has read this course
It sits inside every lesson. Ask it at midnight and it answers out of the material. Ask it something the course never covered and it says so. Included in the price, up to a usage limit.
5
The command center build kit
A spec, a start here file, a build prompt, a release checklist, and a worksheet for the calls only you can make.
On the payroll
This course was built for somebody specific. You run a business or a team, you already use AI most days, and you have never opened a terminal. The course assumes that last part about you. Plenty of people fall outside that, and it is cheaper for both of us if you find that out here.
This is for you if
- You run a business or a team, and you want AI doing work that matters.
- You have used AI for months and can feel there is a level above the one you are on.
- You want to understand the tools well enough to make your own calls about them.
- You have a computer you are allowed to install software on.
Walk away if
- You already build agents and ship them. You have covered this ground.
- You want a folder of prompts to copy. What this teaches is the method that produces them.
- You want somebody to build the system for you. Every piece here, you build.
- You want live calls or a coach. Everything here you read and build on your own.
- You will not open the black window on your computer. Part 2 walks you in and stays beside you, and you still have to walk.
- You need a refund window. There is none, and the reason sits further down this page.
- You want a promise about money or a job. This page makes none, and nothing later will.
The questions worth asking before you spend $199
Every answer here points at a named part of the course, or at a term printed on this page.
I am not technical enough. This will lose me early.
Part 1 installs nothing at all. It covers what these tools are, where they lie, and how to brief them properly. The part you have been putting off, Part 2, is also the shortest in the course.
Seventeen hours. I will buy this and never finish it.
The average lesson runs under ten minutes, so a session fits in the gap you already have. The helpers arrive ahead of the lessons. Download the files, paste the setup prompt, and they are working on your computer before you have watched a lesson. Nothing is scheduled, and nobody moves ahead of you.
I can find all of this free.
You can find every piece of it free. That is how you got here. What you cannot find free is the order, and the order is the whole difficulty. Every free hour you have spent started you at the beginning again. This course ends with a command center running on your own computer and a real project finished.
I already pay twenty dollars a month for AI. Why do I need this?
That subscription is the engine. What you are missing is the road. $199 once buys the order the six parts are in, 33 helpers already written, 52 files that land on your own disk, a chat that has read this course and answers inside the lesson you are stuck on, and a scored exam that puts a level on what you learned. Your subscription keeps working, and this is what you point it at.
I have read a page like this before. What do I walk away with?
Software. A dashboard running on your own computer, helpers installed in your own folders, and files that stay on your disk. The list of parts on this page is read out of the course itself, so what you are reading is what you are buying.
Will this be old news in six months?
The tools will move. Part 5 is the longest part of the course, and the method it teaches outlives them. Writing the order, planning the job, stopping before anything you cannot undo, agreeing what done means. All of that carries to the next tool.
What if I install something wrong and break my computer?
The install is a single prompt. It reads the file out to you before it changes a thing. Anything already sitting in that folder is left alone until you say so. If your computer is missing something, it says which.
What happens when I get stuck at midnight?
You ask inside the lesson. The chat there has read this course and nothing else, so it answers out of the material. When it has no source, it says so.
There is no refund. What am I risking?
Nothing renews, so that is the whole of what you will ever be charged. Access is sold final the moment it opens. Three charges come back to the card that paid: a duplicate, a charge you never authorised, and anything that fails to open and cannot be fixed. Your rights under consumer law are untouched. Write to support@murasaki.ai.
There are no reviews on this page. No rating. No student count.
The course is new, and inventing a review is off the table. What you can check instead is the thing itself. The parts on this page are read out of the course and the sizes are printed. The files land on your own computer, where you can count them. Waiting until other people have been through it is a reasonable thing to do.
Questions
Anything left over goes to support@murasaki.ai.
- What do I get?
- Six parts and 107 lessons at your own pace. The command center you build yourself. The full set of 33 helpers with their 52 files. A chat that has read every lesson and answers inside them. And the scored exam, with the certificate it issues.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. One payment, and no other invoice ever turns up.
- What happens after I pay?
- Nothing, because there is no form. Your account is built from the email your card already checked, and you land inside it, signed in.
- What is an agent?
- A helper you give a job to. The course explains it in plain words before anything depends on it.
- Do I need to code?
- No. You read what a tool tells you and follow a step, and the AI writes the code. What the course teaches is how to direct it and check what came back.
- What do I need to start?
- A computer you are allowed to install software on. That is the whole list.
- How is it delivered?
- In your browser, lesson by lesson, at whatever pace you set. Where an idea is hard, there is a picture of it next to the words. The files arrive together.
- Is there a certificate?
- Yes, and you earn it. A hundred and fifty questions over three hours, marked on our side, scored 0 to 800 across six levels from Z5 up to Z1+. Every sitting earns a level and a report. A printable certificate is issued at 320 and above, carrying your name, the level, the score and the date, with a link anybody can open to check it. A retake opens three months later.
- Can I get a refund?
- Access is sold final once it opens. The charges that come back are listed in the questions above.
One payment, and nothing renews. $199 across 107 lessons is under two dollars a lesson, and your 52 files download to your own computer and stay there.
The whole road. One machine that runs while you sleep.
There is a level above the one you are on. This is the road to it, in the order it has to happen. It ends with helpers on your own computer, a command center that works your morning before you wake up, and a score that says how far you got. Or you close this tab and next year looks the same.
One payment, and nothing renews.
Includes 52 files, the full set of helpers, the chat that has read every lesson, and the scored exam with the certificate it issues.
