AI Hero

AI Hero helps developers work effectively with coding agents—such as Claude Code and Codex—by using a structured workflow that goes from an idea to shipped, reviewed code. It’s built around the idea that engineering fundamentals aren’t obsolete: without careful guidance, fast code generation can degrade code quality and make future agent work worse.

The core experience combines cohort learning with practical, installable “skills.” You can start with a free email course and then browse and install the skills that match where you are in the process. Skills are designed to be free and runnable immediately, so you can apply them in your day-to-day agent-assisted development.

AI Hero also provides a set of learning paths for different stages of the work. The main flow covers the spine from idea → ship in order, while other skill categories focus on shaping decisions, keeping codebases and issue lists healthy, and running human-facing workflows that complement the code work. Reference skills provide reusable building blocks that other skills can invoke or cite.

Who it’s for: developers who want to ship code they’d put their name on, especially when using coding agents to move faster. Pricing/plans: free skills are available, and a cohort-based course has a waitlist with enrollment opening on Oct 26 (12:01 AM PDT) for the next cycle noted on the page.

What is AI Hero, and how does it help with coding agents?

AI Hero is an engineering process for working with coding agents using a structured workflow from idea to shipped, reviewed code. It focuses on guiding the agent so the output improves (rather than damages) the codebase over time.

Are the “skills” in AI Hero free?

Yes—AI Hero offers free skills. Each skill is designed to install quickly and be usable right away.

How do I start if I’m new to the workflow?

Start with the free email course or begin with the main flow skills, which follow the idea → ship spine in order. You can then add shaping, engineering, and reference skills as your workflow calls for them.

What does the main flow cover?

The main flow walks through getting started, moving from idea to spec/tickets and implementation, then to code review and a retro. It’s intended to keep the work ordered end-to-end.

Does AI Hero only focus on writing code?

No. It also includes productivity skills for human-facing workflows (like handoff and preparing questions/work artifacts) and reference skills that support better decisions during the process.

Is the cohort-based course available now?

A waitlist is open for the next enrollment window. Enrollment opens on Oct 26 (12:01 AM PDT) for the next dates listed.
