Course Overview

Two converging revolutions: agentic software engineering meets dual-brain education

Course Title

Vibe Coding: Agentic Software Engineering for the Dual-Brain Era

Duration

14 weeks (full) or 5 weeks (intensive boot camp)

Prerequisites

Basic programming literacy; no AI experience required

Delivery

NEOLAF Companion Agent + ILT Production Studio + AAR Portfolio Flywheel

Assessment

Portfolio-based. No traditional exams. Verified through artifacts and structured reflection.

Capstone

Build and deploy a complete agentic system with memory, skills, channels, and governance

Program Learning Outcomes

Nine measurable outcomes verified through portfolio artifacts

  1. PLO-1Articulate the structural differences between application-centric and agentic software engineering and explain the coherence threshold that triggers the transition.
  2. PLO-2Use AI agents as persistent cognitive partners for software production, demonstrating the dual-brain developer model.
  3. PLO-3Decompose complex intent into composable Capability Atoms (Sensor, Skill, Context, Actuator, Authorization) and design complete skill graphs.
  4. PLO-4Build, version, and compose agent skills with schema contracts, dependency management, and lifecycle governance.
  5. PLO-5Design and implement persistent memory architectures using the KSTAR cognitive framework (episodic, skill, perception memory).
  6. PLO-6Apply the Action Realization Law (Action = Plan ⊗ Token ⊗ Energy) in real agentic systems with proper authorization governance.
  7. PLO-7Build P3394-compliant agent interfaces with channel adapters enabling interface-independent agent access.
  8. PLO-8Evaluate AI-generated output with professional judgment through semantic debugging and structured After-Action Review.
  9. PLO-9Produce a verified dual-brain portfolio of agentic software artifacts demonstrating compounding capability.

Assessment Framework

Portfolio-based assessment with four structured After-Action Reviews

The Action Realization Law

Action = Plan ⊗ Token ⊗ Energy

Every agent action requires all three factors simultaneously. An unrealized plan is not an action. An action without a token is not authorized.
