How to Train Your AI Dragon
Everyone has a dragon now. Most people keep theirs in a shoebox.

The 365-day curriculum
The Course
The year crosses twelve training grounds, one for each month, and every ground holds a month of daily lessons. Each lesson waits in its egg until its day arrives, then hatches open for training. Past lessons stay open for review.
The rider's ledger
Your Mastery Map
Every training ground, concept by concept: scales earned, trials passed, and how confident the flying felt. The map fills in as you train.
Where you have flown
Your Year So Far
The whole ride in one place: how far you have come, which training grounds you have crossed, and the keeper's own record of what you and your dragon actually made.
💼 What this year builds
The training grounds, translated into the six skills employers ask for by name. Each one is backed by real work the keeper has seen and judged.
🗝️ The keeper's logbook
Everything you flew
Your Flight Logs
Every practice flight you have made in the Proving Grounds, kept exactly as it happened. Open any day to reread the work, and copy anything you want to keep.
The dragon guards what you made
The Dragon's Hoard
Real treasure only: things you actually made with Claude and kept, sent, or used. One per month is plenty. By Day 365 this page is your portfolio, and you can forge it into a page worth showing anyone.
🎖️ Dragonrider credentials
Real Open Badges, one per training ground: a signed credential carrying the exact skills the keeper verified, in a format employers and registries can check for themselves. Graduate a ground's trial to earn its badge.
The keeper's deck
Care and Feeding of Your AI Dragon
Fifty-two cards from the keeper's manual, covering everything a rider needs to hold their dragon at peak efficiency: what to feed it, how to groom it, how to train it, and how to keep the partnership healthy. Every card starts facedown. Read the title, pick one, and flip it.
The keeper's oath
About This Course
🥚 How it works
One lesson unlocks each day of the calendar year. Each takes under five minutes to read and includes a hands-on exercise to try with Claude on your real work that same day. Skills stack month over month: fundamentals first, then craft, then automation, then mastery. Two characters share the journey: you are the rider, and the keeper is the seasoned trainer whose tips, cards, and trials guide you both. The keeper's bar never moves: a day graduates when the work is yours, meaning you can explain it, apply it, and defend it.
🔥 Kept current
AI capabilities ship weekly, so a course frozen in time would rot fast. The curriculum data lives in simple daily-lesson files that are reviewed and refreshed as new Claude features, models, and workflows become available. When your dragon learns a new trick, so does the course.
🖋️ Written with its own subject
This course is built with Claude, on purpose: the same dragon you are learning to ride helped draft, test, and refresh every lesson, with a human keeper making the final call on every word. Working that way is exactly what the course teaches, practiced in the open. The other half of the bargain is just as firm: your work stays yours. The keeper only graduates a day it has watched you fly for real, and your dragon never writes the work you are graded on.
🃏 The deck
The Care and Feeding deck is the maintenance manual: 52 evergreen habits in four suits. Feeding covers what you give your dragon. Grooming covers upkeep. Training covers skill-building. Health & Safety covers trust, verification, and judgment. Flip one a week for a year of good keeping.
