The Agent's Ascent

A video-first, build-first route from zero to shipping a paid product and running a supervised multi-agent business system. The course is the map; the Ascent page is the game; the clock in the corner keeps you honest.

The mapYour course

Nine phases, 24 camps, four capstones, the same for every climber, with your professor's changes marked on top. Every camp has videos, an exercise, a "ready to move on when…" check and the pitfalls to avoid.

 The gameThe Ascent

A climber moves up the mountain as you pass checkpoints. XP, ten levels, fourteen badges, a rocket at the summit. Check-ins and quiz scores live here too.

 The clockStudy sessions

Press ▶︎ on any page when you sit down and ■ when you stop. Hours count towards your plan and show up as "on the clock" in the Ascent.

 The guideYour professor

Every climber gets their own: a Claude Project that reads your camps, quizzes you, and re-plans the climb with you at each checkpoint. Set-up takes five minutes.

How the loop works

1 · Build the week's modulesFollow the course tab, pausing each video to make the agent do the step and explain it. Put the time on the clock.
2 · Pass the checkpointMark the camp "Checkpoint passed" in the Ascent when you can do the module's "ready to move on" test from memory.
3 · Report to the professorOpen your professor's chat (the button on the Ascent page) and say what you built and what confused you. It reads your camps, hours and check-ins straight from the database, quizzes you, and tells you the score to record on the module row.
4 · Re-plan at checkpointsAt the end of each phase you and your professor review the climb against your end goal: expand what grips you, lighten what drags, never drop the essential spine. The professor hands you a plan; you apply it on the Ascent page.
