Lesson 1 — Describe
Homework: one paragraph, no tech list. Who, job, first screen, success.
Academy
A curriculum: describe, steer, preview, repair, ship.
Eight lessons. Each has homework in the studio. If you only read, you will think prompting is magic. If you do the homework, you will learn it is specification.

Why this exists
Learn to build with CodeLoom by building one product.
The working loop
Pick a small product you actually want. You will use it for every lesson. Do not start a new app each time. That is how people fool themselves into thinking they are fast.

In the product
What you actually get.
Lesson 2 — Spine
Homework: only home, list, detail. No settings.
Lesson 3 — Empty
Homework: zero-data states with a next action.
Lesson 4 — Errors
Homework: a broken submit and a retry.
Lesson 5 — Visual
Homework: name type, space, one accent. Ban stock photos.
Lesson 6 — @file
Homework: attach App.tsx and change one route.
How
A path you can follow without a call.
01
Lesson 7 — Repair
Break it on purpose. Restore. Send a smaller prompt.
02
Lesson 8 — Ship
Publish or export. Write three sentences about what is still fake.
Deep cut
The rest of the page — not a teaser.
Grading (yourself)
If a stranger can complete the core job without you talking, you passed. If you have to narrate, you failed.
Common fail — no noun
Prompting ‘make it better’ with no noun. The agent will invent a different product.
Common fail — leftover brand
Ignoring leftover template copy. Hunt the old brand name.
Common fail — gradients
Spending the token cap on gradients.
Office hours
There are none. The iframe is the teacher.
Certificate
There is none. You get a zip.
Questions
Ask these before you waste a week.
Is this a mock or a real app?
Real Vite + React + TypeScript files in a project you own. Preview is a running Vite server proxied through the studio iframe.
What happens when I hit the token cap?
The agent stops until the month resets or you upgrade. Pro is $19.99/month via Whop card checkout. The webhook sets your plan to Pro.
Can I take the code?
Yes. Export a zip from the studio. Secrets are not stuffed into the zip as plaintext from the ciphertext store — add env files yourself after export.
How long?
A weekend if you actually sit in the studio. A month if you only intend to.
Next
Keep going.
Describe it. Watch it become real.
Free is live. Pro is $19.99/month on Whop. The studio, preview, and export are on this host — not a waitlist.
