Unit 0. Welcome to the course
Week 1 — Contracts, adapters, tools, and a first agent
Mon 14 Sep to Fri 18 Sep, two hours a day.
Goal: Contracts before code. By Friday you have configured an assistant, called a model through one adapter, validated a typed output, built a bounded tool, and closed a small agent loop with a trace that shows every step.
| Session | Day | Topic | Assessment |

Every session directory holds an introduction.mdx, its concept pages, an
exercise notebook.ipynb, and once the session has run, solutions/. Run the
checks with uv run bootcamp check chNN and hand in with uv run bootcamp submit chNN --github <you>.
