100% AI generated. We prompt in Mob AI, using nWave on Claude. Tooling and tokens provided.

What it is

AI is powerful.
Undisciplined AI is dangerous.

AI Software Craft is a hands-on team training that teaches your engineers to harness Claude Code and nWave for the full software development lifecycle - from requirements to production - with the same rigor and discipline Alcor Academy is known for.

Your team works as a mob, prompting AI instead of typing code. Every wave has a reviewer agent. Every output is challenged.

Speed without sloppiness.

Ship features end-to-end in hours, not days - with tests, architecture, and CI/CD
Maintain TDD, clean design, and outside-in thinking - even when AI does the typing
Recognize the AI test anti-patterns that produce false confidence and never reach production
For developers AND managers: everyone learns the full SDLC, from discovery to deploy

The Syllabus

6 Lessons. One Full Lifecycle.

Lesson 1

Agent Building + nWave Setup

Build your personal AI agent. Install nWave. Experience Power without Control - then fix it.

Lesson 2

DISCOVER + DISCUSS

JTBD analysis, Specification by Example, BDD acceptance criteria. Define the right thing before building it.

Lesson 3

DESIGN + DEVOPS

C4 architecture, CI/CD pipeline, observability. Architecture and infrastructure designed together, not sequentially.

Lesson 4

DISTILL + DELIVER with TDD

Outside-In TDD, acceptance tests as living documentation, Hexagonal Architecture. The AI implements. The mob controls.

Lesson 5

Monster Challenge I

A real existing system. A real backlog. One full wave cycle, end-to-end, under your own steam.

Lesson 6

Monster Challenge II

Second cycle, adversarial review, mutation testing, finalize and retrospective. The full quality gate, experienced as a team.

Three Principles Behind Every Lesson

Mob AI Programming

The entire team prompts together. One screen, one direction, collective intelligence. AI is the driver. The mob is in control.

Adversarial Review

Every AI output is challenged by specialized reviewer agents. If you would not accept it from a junior colleague, do not accept it from the AI.

Craft-Disciplined AI

TDD, simple design, outside-in thinking, modular architecture. The criteria for accepting or rejecting AI output are the same as for human code.
