Roadmap Overview

AI Agent Fullstack Roadmap

How to Read This Roadmap

The 7 stages are designed to be followed in order, but you don't need to dive deep into everything. Use these tags to prioritize:

  • 🟢 Core Path — AI-assisted development, LLM API, structured output, RAG, Agent Loop, full-stack deployment
  • 🔵 Engineering Throughline — Security · Evaluation · Observability · Cost — runs through every stage
  • 🟡 Advanced Elective — MCP development, Skills, sub-agents, multi-agent, local inference, minimal agent runtimes

Stage Navigation

# Stage Key Topics
1 AI-Assisted Development Workflow AI tools · methodologies · project rules · MCP & Skills · debugging & testing
2 LLM API & Structured Interaction LLM fundamentals · API integration · Prompt Engineering · structured output · SDKs
3 RAG Knowledge Base Applications Embeddings · vector databases · RAG pipeline · failure modes · evaluation
4 Tool Calling & Mini Agent Loop Agent fundamentals · ReAct · tool systems · permission models · comparative study
5 Agent Application Engineering Workflow vs Agent · memory management · security · MCP server · Skills · frameworks
6 AI Full-Stack Productionization Frontend AI · full-stack & data layer · AI security · deployment & runtime
7 Production Operations Observability · evaluation · cost optimization · reliability

Design Philosophy

  • Not a course syllabus — no step-by-step tutorials
  • Not a tool ranking — prioritizes stable concepts over hyped tools
  • A capability map — shows what skills you need and their dependency relationships
  • For experienced Node.js/frontend developers — assumes you already know databases, Redis, OAuth, Docker; focuses on the AI-specific additions
