Created byAI University
Last updated 8/2026
English
English [Auto],

What you'll learn

  • Build autonomous AI agents using Claude Code and Python from scratch
  • Master the four-layer AI engineering stack: Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop Engineering
  • Design reliable AI agent workflows using the ReAct (Reason, Act, Observe, Repeat) pattern
  • Build AI systems with verification, stopping conditions, and automated decision loops
  • Prevent common AI failures such as context rot, runaway loops, and prompt injection attacks
  • Apply production-ready AI engineering practices including guardrails, sandboxing, and budget controls

Course content

5 sections • 17 lectures • 1h 54m total length
  • Welcome: The Term That Spread in Days4:51
  • Prompt, Context, Harness, Loop: The Stack in One Pass7:29
  • Loop Engineering: Removing the Human From the Chain5:08
  • How the Four Layers Rescue Different Failure Modes4:14

    Map AI failures to the four layers: model, memory, workflow, and agent, to rapidly diagnose symptoms, identify the responsible layer, and apply targeted fixes at the source.

Requirements

  • No prior experience with AI agents or Loop Engineering is required

Description

Loop Engineering is a practical, hands-on course that teaches the engineering principles behind modern autonomous AI systems. Instead of stopping at prompt engineering, you'll learn the complete four-layer AI engineering stack—Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop and understand how these layers work together to build reliable AI agents.


Throughout the course, you'll build a real AI agent using Python and Claude Code while learning the ReAct reasoning pattern, context management, verification, guardrails, stopping conditions, and essential AI safety practices required for production-ready AI systems.


This course focuses on practical engineering rather than theory. You'll watch a complete end-to-end live build, understand why autonomous agents fail, and learn how to design AI systems that can reason, act, verify, and improve without requiring constant human intervention.


What you'll learn

• Build autonomous AI agents using Claude Code

• Understand Prompt Engineering, Context Engineering, Harness Engineering, and Loop Engineering

• Learn the ReAct (Reason, Act, Observe, Repeat) agent pattern

• Build reliable AI workflows with verification and stopping conditions

• Manage context efficiently and prevent context rot

• Implement guardrails, budget controls, sandboxing, and prompt injection protection


By the end of this course, you'll understand how modern AI agents work internally and have the confidence to build your own autonomous AI workflows using industry best practices.

Who this course is for:

  • Software developers and AI engineers who want to build autonomous AI agents
  • Python developers interested in AI Engineering, Claude Code, and Agentic AI
  • Anyone who wants to move beyond prompt engineering and learn how real AI agent systems are built
