What engineers say about the course

★★★★★

I have been using AI agents for a while, but this is the first course that shows how to build the system around them. Harness engineering, verification, memory and loops. Nothing here will expire with the next model.

★★★★★

Clear, dense, and built on a real app. The 27 tasks are the point: you do every layer yourself. By module 8 I had an AI employee fixing bugs while I slept.

Petar Ivanov
Author of the T-Shaped Dev newsletter

★★★★★

The review modules paid for the course on their own. A grilled plan before the code, a skeptical reviewer after it, and a reading tour for every pull request. My review time went from hours to minutes.

The outcome

Ship 10× more code.
Read 10× less of it.

Stop babysitting your AI agents.

Most engineers prompt their agents. When something goes wrong, they prompt harder. My 10× came from one change: I stopped tuning prompts and built five layers around the agent. Harness, rules, quality gates, memory and loops. You build every layer yourself in this course, on a real app, until an AI employee runs your work without you.

Build your 24/7 AI employee.
Make agents work while you sleep.

The Agentic Coding Handbook, the course book, by Daniel Moka

Included with the course

The 90-page handbook on agentic coding

The Agentic Coding Handbook: every layer of agentic engineering, from the model to your 24/7 AI employee. One chapter per module, in the same order, so you can look up a layer without watching the lesson again.

✓ 9 chapters, one per module, plus 3 appendices: glossary, toolkit, sources
✓ Every lesson as a section: the idea first, then the advice as ✓ and ✕ lists
✓ Code examples cut from the course repos, with the file path under each
✓ 20 diagrams: the seven layers, the hooks, the gates, the loops, the AI employee
✓ PDF, yours from day one, updated with the course

After completing the course you will

➭ Know which layer is failing when an agent goes wrong: prompt, context, harness, memory or loop.
➭ Steer agents from your repo with rules files, skills, subagents and hooks.
➭ Measure what your tests prove, with mutation, property and end-to-end gates in CI.
➭ Review ten times less: a grilled plan before code, a skeptical reviewer after, a reading tour per pull request.
➭ Give every agent one brain: a second-brain repo with capture, triage and lint.
➭ Run an AI employee on your own server that works for you 24/7.

About me

Hey, I am Daniel Moka.
I build AI employees for companies.

For 15+ years I have shipped software in healthcare, oil & gas, robotics, blockchain, digital mapping and ERP systems. The AI employees I build today write software, run marketing, do the daily admin work, and anything else that involves a computer.

200,000+ engineers follow my work on LinkedIn, X and the Craft Better Software newsletter. My last course, Transform Your Craft with TDD, transformed hundreds of developers into engineers who craft better software.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this course for?

You already run an AI coding agent and you want its work to be trustworthy and to run without you. You ship to production.

Which tools do I need?

Claude Code on a paid plan for modules 1 to 7. For module 8, any machine that stays on: a cheap VPS, a box at home, or a PC left on. GitHub and Docker.

I use Cursor or Codex. Does it apply?

The layers are the same: rules files, skills, hooks, memory, loops. The lessons show them in Claude Code and in Hermes. Where a tool differs, the lesson says so.

What does it cost to run?

Claude Pro at $20 a month covers modules 1 to 7. For module 8, add a ChatGPT Plus plan at $20 a month for your AI employee's model, and a server from about 5 euros a month. Module 0 links the official pricing pages.

How long is it?

Over 3.5 hours of video in 55 lessons, self-paced, plus 27 hands-on tasks. You get every module on day one.

Will a smarter model make this pointless?

No. The course teaches what the model cannot know: your repo's rules, your gate, your memory, your loops. A smarter model makes each layer cheaper to run.

Is there a community or office hours?

No community or office hours. The Premium plan includes a private 60-minute 1:1 coaching call with me and one week of direct WhatsApp access to me. On every plan, I answer access and kit problems by email.

Refunds?

14-day refund, no questions asked. Email me, I refund the same day.

Can my company pay?

Yes. The checkout adds VAT where it applies and issues an invoice with your company details. When you finish, email me and I send you a completion certificate for reimbursement. Teams of 3 or more: email me for one invoice.
