Teaching Mode also includes Flexible Scheduling • Designed for private lessons, coaching, tutoring, and other sessions whose times change from person to person. • Choose a person, then set each session's date, start time, and duration independently. Add several sessions in one batch without creating a repeating schedule first. • Check the selected day's full schedule and conflicts, choose from Common Times, set another time manually, or add a missed session on a past date. • Every flexible course has dedicated Course Details, Edit Course, and All Sessions screens. Sort by time, edit or delete upcoming sessions, and correct a checked-in session after using Cancel Check-in. • Flexible courses use actual duration for session totals, Teaching Time, and Units Used, and can sync to System Calendar. Keep every session accounted for • Check in manually or let Echo Phase handle automatic check-ins and credit deductions. • Cancel a lesson and choose whether to deduct or roll over the credit. • Add a make-up lesson or extra session, change a session's time, remove one occurrence, or move a lesson to the end of its schedule. • Add notes, choose a different teacher for a session, and keep renewal payment details. • Pause, resume, renew, end, reopen, or restore courses from Trash.

Learn AI agents from the inside out. MicroAgent shows you the agent loop, tool calls, planning, memory, and multi-agent coordination — the parts every other AI app hides behind a chat box. This is not another chatbot. It is a 12-lesson visual course that breaks down how a real AI agent runtime is built, from a minimal loop with one tool to a full multi-agent team with task isolation. WHY MICROAGENT • See inside every step: messages, tool calls, plans, task state, memory, collaboration • Replayable demos: deterministic scenarios you can run again and again • Source code you can follow: each lesson maps to real Swift / Python code • 12 lessons that build on each other, not 50 random tips • Built for iPhone and iPad, fully offline-readable • One-time purchase, no subscription WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ① s01 The Agent Loop — a minimal agent with a single bash tool, end to end ② s02 Tools — read, write, edit, bash; how a tool registry actually works ③ s03 TodoWrite — make the agent plan before it acts ④ s04 Subagents — isolate work and avoid context pollution ⑤ s05 Skills — load knowledge on demand with SKILL.md ⑥ s06 Compact — keep the context window healthy with summarization ⑦ s07 Tasks — file-backed task system with dependencies ⑧ s08 Background Tasks — long-running work without blocking the loop ⑨ s09 Agent Teams — multi-agent coordination via JSONL inbox ⑩ s10 Team Protocols — shutdown, plan approval, request-response patterns ⑪ s11 Autonomous Agents — idle-loop teammates that auto-claim tasks ⑫ s12 Worktree + Task Isolation — parallel execution with shared task board WHO IT IS FOR ① iOS / Swift / full-stack developers ready to move from "use AI" to "build agents" ② AI and LLM self-learners who have read about ReAct, reflection, tool calling and want to see them run ③ Tech leads, PMs and indie builders who need a real mental model of agent architecture, not just prompt tricks HOW IT IS DIFFERENT • Visual breakdown of every step — not another chat interface. See the agent loop, planning, memory and coordination in action. • Learn from deterministic demos — run the same scenario repeatedly and understand each step. • Engineering patterns for real agent systems — not just prompting tricks. • Built-in code visualization — each lesson maps directly to runnable Swift and Python source. CORE CONCEPTS COVERED agent loop, tool calling, function calling, ReAct, planning, memory, RAG, MCP, subagents, skills, context compaction, multi-agent systems, team protocols, autonomous agents, task isolation, worktree, prompt engineering, LLM runtime, agent harness, replayable trajectory, eval, prompt injection safety.
