addyosmani/agent-engineer — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a practical written course called Agent Engineer for software engineers who want to understand AI agents and start building them with Google Cloud AI. It should be friendly for people with basic Python knowledge but no AI or ML background.

I want the course to be organized as a set of clear lessons that can live in a GitHub repo, with a main README that explains who it is for, how to use it, and the overall philosophy. Start with fundamentals like what agents are, how they think, tools, memory, planning, multi agent systems, RAG, testing, and safety. Then cover how to build and ship agents with Vertex AI and the Agent Development Kit, including a first agent walkthrough and agent protocols like MCP and A2A. Finish with deeper topics like AGENTS.md, MCP details, reusable agent skills, orchestrators, and next steps.

Use simple analogies first, be honest about tradeoffs, and link to official docs where setup details may change.
