Review and Ship

You built something. Now review it, learn from it, and call it shipped.

Self-Review Checklist

Against your project brief:

  • [ ] Does it solve the stated problem?
  • [ ] Does it meet all 3 success criteria?
  • [ ] Do all eval cases pass?
  • [ ] Could someone else set it up from the README?

Against the course modules:

  • [ ] Does the architecture match the pattern you chose? (ReAct, router, orchestrator, pipeline)
  • [ ] Is the tool design clean? (clear descriptions, minimal parameters, good error messages)
  • [ ] If RAG: does retrieval return relevant results for your eval queries?
  • [ ] If multi-agent: is the orchestration pattern clear and debuggable?
  • [ ] Are there at least 3 eval cases covering happy path, edge case, and error?

What "Shipped" Means for Internal Tools

You're not launching a SaaS product. For internal tools, "shipped" means:

  • It runs. Not a prototype that works sometimes — it runs reliably.
  • It's documented. A README, a brief explanation of what it does and how.
  • It's maintainable. Someone (including future you) can understand and modify it.
  • It's connected. If it's an MCP server, it's in your Claude Code config. If it's a script, it's in your tools/ directory.

Confidence Self-Assessment

Rate your confidence on each module's core concept (1 = shaky, 5 = solid):

🛠 Exercise 1
Rate yourself 1-5 on each module and explain: (1) Foundations: Agent components and tool use, (2) Architectures: ReAct, planning, router/orchestrator, (3) RAG: Retrieval, chunking, evaluation, (4) Multi-Agent: When to use, orchestration, memory, (5) Building with Claude: API, MCP, Claude Code as platform, (6) Shipping: Evals, testing, monitoring. For any score below 3, what would you need to practice to get to 4?

Retrospective

🛠 Exercise 2
Write your course retrospective: (1) What was the most valuable thing you learned? (2) What would you change about your approach? (3) What will you build next based on what you learned? (4) Was this worth more than $2,799?
✓ Saved

What's Next

This course gave you the foundations. The real learning happens when you build:

  • This week: Polish your capstone project. Make it production-ready.
  • This month: Build a second project using a different module combination.
  • Ongoing: Every time you automate a workflow, you're practicing agent design.

The $2,799 course would have taught you these same concepts through video lectures. You learned them by building, in your own workspace, with your own tools. That's the difference between learning about agents and being an agent builder.

Congratulations. You shipped.
