Most product builders use AI agents the same way they used search - typing queries and hoping for the best. That's leaving most of the value on the table.The teams pulling ahead aren't using better prompts. They're teaching their agents. Agent Skills are reusable, testable instruction sets that tell AI agents exactly how to handle specific workflows: your deployment process, your code review standards, your team's edge cases. Write one skill well, and every agent on your team benefits from it, every time, automatically.The problem: nobody is teaching product builders how to create them. Most documentation is written for a narrow technical audience, and the tooling is fragmented across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini.In this hands-on workshop, you'll go from zero to a working skill installed in your own agent: one that reflects your real workflows, not generic templates. You'll also learn how to evaluate and improve skills systematically, so they get better over time instead of drifting.If you build or are hoping to build products with AI agents: this is the highest-leverage skill you can develop right now.

AI gives founders two possible futures. It can multiply company capacity—or multiply the coordination work returning to the founder. If you're building an AI-native or agentic company, adding agents is the easy part. The harder problem is turning their output into leverage without becoming the integration layer for every handoff, decision, and next move. The missing layer is the system the agents operate inside. That is Systems Intelligence.This four-week working lab turns Systems Intelligence into founder practice. Across four focused 90-minute sessions, you will map your venture, identify the active constraint beneath the surrounding noise, commit one bounded next move, and complete a founder-directed operating cycle.Sysdom.ai is the included, supported working environment. It organizes venture context across the Product/Service, Customer, Cash, and Skills Engines, preserves evidence, and records the chosen move. You remain responsible for direction, consequential decisions, and approval boundaries.Leave with a clearer venture state, explicit decision boundaries, one completed cycle, and a repeatable way to increase agent capacity without increasing founder coordination.

AI amplifies everything. Including what’s broken.

See your venture as one system

Build an evidence-backed venture map

Find the constraint behind the noise

Choose one bounded next move

Set founder and agent decision boundaries

Start a guided operating cycle

Bring research, a prototype, operating signals, prior decisions, or a serious plan. No website, revenue, or technical setup required.

Bring one real venture—and some evidence

Founders building a venture who feel complexity outpacing their mental model. You have pieces but no unified operating system.

Founders who hit their first real bottleneck and realized working harder isn't solving the structural problem underneath.

Founders whose AI tools and agents produce more output while every important decision and handoff still routes back through them.
