Master Agent Skills across GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and Claude Code with prompt engineering best practices and vibe coding.

Description

AI coding tools are everywhere, but most developers use them at a surface level. Agent Skills represent the next step: configuring and guiding AI to work more intelligently within your development environment. This practical, beginner friendly crash course introduces you to Agent Skills across five popular AI coding tools: GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and Claude Code. You will learn what Agent Skills are, how they compare to Instructions, Rules, Commands, Workflows, MCP, and Subagents, and how to build and configure them. No prior Agent Skills experience required.

This Course Offers

  • Complete understanding of Agent Skills compared to other AI features: Understand what Agent Skills are and how they compare to Instructions, Rules, Commands, Workflows, MCP, and Subagents. Learn the distinctions that matter for practical AI assisted development.
  • Hands on configuration across five AI coding tools: Build and configure Agent Skills across GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and Claude Code. Learn to work with the specific capabilities and limitations of each tool.
  • Prompt engineering best practices for better AI outputs: Apply prompt engineering best practices including writing effective prompts, avoiding common mistakes, and using advanced and role based techniques for smarter outputs. Learn to guide AI tools effectively instead of accepting default outputs.
  • Real world development with Vibe Coding and AI tools: Discover how developers use AI tools in real projects through a Vibe Coding podcast with the instructor. Learn from a Senior Front end Engineer with more than 10 years of professional experience.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It covers five major AI coding tools in one course. You learn Agent Skills across GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and Claude Code, not just one platform. This breadth gives you flexibility and deeper understanding.
  2. The focus is practical and beginner friendly. Short, focused lessons with clear explanations and real examples are designed for beginners. The instructor provides direct help through the Q&A section whenever you have questions.
  3. The instructor brings deep professional experience. Dmytro Vasyliev is a Senior Front end Engineer with more than 10 years of professional experience in developing complex Web Applications. He has extensive experience with React and other frameworks.
  4. You learn both theory and practice. The course includes prompt engineering fundamentals, Agent Skills configuration, and real world development insights through a podcast session. This well rounded approach prepares you for actual work.

AI coding tools are evolving fast. Agent Skills are the next frontier for developers who want to stay ahead. The question is whether you want to learn to build and configure Agent Skills across multiple tools or remain at the surface level of AI assisted development.
