If you're new to AI coding or you think you know AI coding, we are going to break down all of the different types of files, techniques, and then jargon that you're going to need to be effective at AI coding.

But mostly, what the heck is all this stuff? Where does it go? How do I use it? And how do you become effective?

My name is Scott Tolensky.

I'm a developer from Denver.

With me today is Wes Boss.

What's up, Wes?

I'm doing great, and there's a lot to unpack here.

It seems like every single day, there's some sort of new file or some sort of new word that

we're trying to learn.

We were talking about cursor rules many months ago,

and now nobody talks about rules files.

It's all agents.md,

and there's also, what, skills and subagents and hooks and MCPs and plugins,

and there's all kinds of stuff, and we got to break it all down for everyone.

What happened to us?

We used to talk about

cursor rules and now it's all agents dot and d we got we used to sit and talk about uh slash commands

uh yeah let's let's get into it first and foremost i think what we want to do is we want to

start off talking about some of the different types of tools. Then we want to get into what all the stuff is in terms of like we said, whether that is models and agents and sub agents and those types of things. And it's mostly going to be breaking down like what are all the pieces here. What do you need to know? What is actually important? What is effective? You know, in another

video, what we'll do is really break down our real detailed tips on being effective with these tools.

Once you know what everything is, where it all goes, but we're going to do our best to make sure that

you know where the stuff is. So first and foremost, the tools that you're using for AI coding,
