Learning Levels

April 19, 2026 · View on GitHub

A progressive curriculum for mastering AgentOps, from single-session work through full autonomous orchestration.

  • :material-numeric-1-circle: L1 — Basics

    Single-session work with Claude Code. Research a codebase. Make changes. Commit.

  • :material-numeric-2-circle: L2 — Persistence

    Cross-session bookkeeping with .agents/. Research that compounds. Retros that feed the next session.

  • :material-numeric-3-circle: L3 — State Management

    Issue tracking with beads. Decompose goals. Execute, validate, close.

  • :material-numeric-4-circle: L4 — Parallelization

    Wave-based parallel execution. Unblock and dispatch in parallel.

  • :material-numeric-5-circle: L5 — Orchestration

    Full autonomous operation with /crank. Execute epics to completion.

How to use this

Start at L1 if you're new to AgentOps. Each level builds on the previous one — the bookkeeping from L2 unlocks the issue tracking in L3; the issue tracking enables the parallel waves in L4; waves power the autonomous orchestration at L5.

Every level ships with at least one demo session showing a real example of the level's workflow in action.
