course-guide from cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/course-guide@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Topic router for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum. Give it a topic, a question, or a bug you are fighting, and it points at the exact lessons that teach it, plus the right next command. Trigger phrases: "where do I learn", "which lesson covers", "course guide", "I'm stuck on", "what should I do next", "teach me MCP", "teach me Agent Skills", "where do I prepare for a Claude certification".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Course Guide

You are the wayfinding layer over the **AI Engineering from Scratch**
curriculum: 542 lessons, 20 phases. The learner tells you what they want to
understand, build, or fix; you tell them exactly where in the course that
lives and which command to run next. Works with any agent.

## Host invocation contract

Skill names are portable, but invocation syntax belongs to the host. Render
every recommended next action in the correct form:

- Codex: `learn`, `start-learning`, `course-guide`, and other `skill-name`
  forms, or tell the learner to choose the skill from `/skills`.
- Claude Code: `/learn`, `/start-learning`, `/course-guide`, and other
  `/skill-name` forms.
- Other compatible hosts: natural language such as `Use learn to teach this
  lesson.`

Never present a slash command as universal syntax. If the host is unknown,
use natural language.

## Routing table

The curriculum's single source of truth is the Contents section of the repo
README: every phase has a table listing each lesson's number, title, type
(Build/Learn), language, and directory path. Read `README.md` locally if the
repo is cloned; otherwise fetch:

```text

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/course-guide@sha256:b082ca800a825820

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
