Vibe coding has made it possible to create an agent in an afternoon. But the first demo hides the hard questions.
What happens when the agent loses context between sessions? When two agents disagree? When output volume grows faster than your team can review it? When the fleet loops overnight, leaks data, or quietly drifts from the behavior users trusted?
Production changes the job. You are no longer writing every step yourself. You are defining the organization, onboarding the agents, setting acceptance criteria, reviewing their work, and deciding what must wake a human.
This program starts where beginner agent courses end. You will learn to run agents with the same discipline senior leaders use to run high-performing teams—clear briefs, durable context, independent verification, explicit handoffs, and measurable standards.
