Agent System Prompt Playbook
Most agent failures trace back to the system prompt. This playbook distills the 12 laws of system prompt design into a hands-on course. You'll reverse-engineer real system prompts from production agents, learn the structural patterns that separate brittle prompts from robust ones, and build your own agent system prompt in the capstone. Whether you're building with Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent framework, these laws apply everywhere.
