About this course
Leave with a working agent kit: folders, rules, and commands you can copy into any project.
A live Talodabi workshop: build your own design agent with project context, Cursor rules, and reusable commands taught in the room, not on video.
What you will gain
-
A project brain in Cursor
Organize briefs, decisions, and exports so the agent reads your work. you stop re-explaining context every session.
-
Rules that sound like you
Write standards for critique, accessibility, and voice that hold up when you defend work to a team or client.
-
Commands you reuse
Build repeatable prompts for flows, audits, and handoff. same structure every time, not one-off chat magic.
-
Live debugging
Practice narrowing context and fixing bad outputs with a cohort. the skill you need when AI drifts off brief.
-
An agent you own
Leave with a kit you can copy into freelance, studio, or product roles. not a template locked to one tool.
