Five phases

foundations → discipline → tools → shipping → capstone
Phase 1

Foundations

What changes when the tool is an agent. Install, anatomy of a session, context, and CLAUDE.md.

Modules 1–3·17 lessons
Phase 2

Discipline

The plan → build → verify loop. Failure modes, mindset, and the 5/9 Coolify-Redis case study.

Modules 4–5·10 lessons
Phase 3

Power Tools

Skills, subagents, hooks, MCP servers. Real wiring against Phoenix LMS + Call-Auditor.

Modules 6–9·18 lessons
Phase 4

Shipping

GitHub + Greptile loop, parallel workflows, production readiness (security · RLS · observability).

Modules 10–12·13 lessons
Phase 5

Capstone

Spec → PR mini-build, then a real Phoenix feature end-to-end under all the discipline.

Modules 13–14·10 lessons
