AI Solopreneur Engineer

7 modules, 72 lessons. Build AI products solo — principles, frameworks, tools, and real projects.

Powered by solo-factory — a Claude Code plugin that implements this methodology as executable skills.

Module 1: Mindset & Philosophy

Why build. What to believe. How to think about risk, creativity, and freedom.

Result: Clear personal manifesto. Decision framework installed.

Module 2: Decision Making

Frameworks for decisions at every level — from epistemics to daily ops.

Result: STREAM framework applied to one real decision. Kill/iterate/scale thresholds set.

Module 3: Validation & Launch

From niche selection to live product with traffic in 5-9 days.

Result: One niche scored via S.E.E.D. Fake-door test run. Go/kill decision made.

Module 4: Engineering Foundations

Schemas first, CLI-first, clean architecture, privacy by design.

Result: Project scaffolded from stack template. CLAUDE.md configured. Pre-commit hooks running.

Module 5: AI Agent Engineering

Harness, memory, context, testing, code review with agents. The core of the course.

Result: Harness file tuned. Memory system configured. Agent does reliable work on your real tasks.
