A five-gate roadmap for the capabilities in the source: build LLM apps, work across APIs, design context, add reliable tools, then deploy something real.
After you can call APIs and design context, what belongs before deployment?
The roadmap tracks your capability progression across five discrete build milestones, advancing from thin end-to-end applications to production deployment. Checking each gate adds twenty percent to your completion score, recalculates the progress bar dynamically, and updates your immediate next engineering task. In the reasoning check, choosing tool calling and structured outputs confirms that reliable execution boundaries are required before deploying production workflows.
