2:24:11AI Agents: The Most Valuable Skill You Can Learn in 2026 (Full Course)
Remy Gaskell, a self taught non technical operator, spends two and a half hours sharing his screen and taking the whole agent stack apart: what an agent actually is (chat is question to answer, an agent is goal to result), the observe think act loop every harness runs, and the four levers you can pull on it. His argument is that you do not build agents, you tune them, and that setup should be treated as onboarding an employee through context, tools, and skills. He builds a folder live from empty, adding a CLAUDE.md, a context folder, a self updating memory file, an MCP connection to beehiiv, and a working skill, showing the behavior change at each step. Along the way: the six MCP connections he thinks everyone needs, why progressive disclosure lets one agent hold hundreds of skills, his holding company folder structure, his honest $1,000 monthly AI bill, and why companies go AI native from the bottom up rather than the top down.
