10 builds · each one an afternoon · try ls projects in the shell

Each project delivers a working agent you can build in an afternoon, with the core lesson linked directly beside each technical objective. This track is designed for engineers who prefer to build first and inspect the underlying mechanics as challenges arise. Every project concludes with a practical challenge: adapting the reference architecture to run against your own domain data.
