The map
The AI Engineering Skills Map is the spine of this deskAndrew Ng’s four skills — wrap, eval, ground, ship — are how this board is filed. If you are building an AI app, start here, not with a model card.

Pulling labs, repos, and the catch-up path…
Harnesses, graphs, loops, APIs you call this week — tagged with Ng’s application skills. Not a training desk. New here is the decoder. Starting a project this week? Catch up is the four-skill map — not more news.

The craft
Harness engineering is the new self-improvement storyLilian Weng’s map of recursive improvement is not sci-fi: it is loops, , and the wrapper around the model. If you only watch model cards, you will miss the job.

Cookbooks for building AI apps: context, harness, graphs, cloud.
No Evals headlines in this lane.
Harness, loops, graphs, MCP, permissions, evals as acceptance.
Eval you attach to the wrap: flag agent mistakes on every thread without standing up your own judge.

8 questions before the next AI release: what eval blocks prod?Eval/prod craft: one good metric, unacceptable failures, who approves — shipping weekly without answers is release-note addiction.

Coding agent ships CLI + writes/runs its own unit testsEval/ship craft: one-line Codex task → script, mock test, then self-authored unit tests that pass — not a demo script.

20-minute test that tells you if your RAG is fakeGrounding craft: 10 known questions, retrieval-only (no generation) — inspect hits before you add agents or swap models.

Course
Hugging Face agents course: ship an agent, freesmolagents, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, then a project with evals. Catch up already files the lab; this is the pointer.
