Key AI terms in one line

Large language model (LLM)
A model that writes a reply by predicting the next token, then the next, from patterns it learned in huge amounts of text. It knows nothing after its training cutoff unless you or a tool supply it.
Token
A word or part of a word, the unit a model reads and writes. Context windows and API usage are counted in tokens.
AI hallucination
A fluent answer that is wrong or invented. Treat a claim that matters as unchecked until you find the supporting line in a source yourself.
Prompt engineering
Writing the instructions you give a model so it returns what you wanted: say exactly what you want, give context and examples, ask for a format, and revise after each run.
System prompt
The standing instruction a model gets before a conversation starts. It sets the role, the rules, the tone and the output format for every reply.
Context window
All the text a model can refer to while it writes a reply, the reply included, measured in tokens. Your messages, the system prompt, files and tool results all take space in it.
AI agent
A language model running in a loop with tools. It picks the next step, acts through a tool, reads the result and repeats until the task is done or a limit stops it.
Vibe coding
Building software by describing it to an AI tool, trying what it makes and asking for changes, without reading the code. Andrej Karpathy named it in a post on X on February 2, 2025.
Plan mode (Claude Code)
A mode in which Claude researches your code and writes a plan, and edits no file until you approve it. Press Shift+Tab until the status bar shows plan mode on.
Hook (Claude Code)
A shell command Claude Code runs on its own at a set point in a session, such as before a tool call. A hook always runs, so it suits rules that cannot have exceptions.
Agent skill
A folder with a SKILL.md file. The agent reads only its name and description at startup and opens the rest when a task matches.
Quantization
Storing a model's weights in fewer bits each, such as 4 in place of 16, so it fits in less memory. The weights take about the parameter count times the bits per weight, divided by eight.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
An open standard for connecting AI apps to tools and data. A server offers tools, and a host such as Claude Desktop starts it and calls them.
Tool use (function calling)
The model asks your code to run a function you described with a name, a description and a JSON Schema. Your code runs it and sends the result back, and the model never runs anything itself.
Prompt caching
Reusing a prompt's unchanged opening part in place of processing it again. Later requests that begin with the same prefix read it from the cache.
Structured outputs
A mode in which the model replies with JSON that follows the JSON Schema you supply, so no required key goes missing and no enum value is invented.
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
Looking up passages from your own documents when a question arrives and putting them in the model's prompt. Its six stages are load, chunk, embed, store, retrieve and generate.
Embedding
A list of numbers that stands for the meaning of a text, so texts with related meanings sit close together and search becomes a distance calculation.
Chunking
Splitting documents into the pieces a RAG system stores and finds. Start at a few hundred tokens per chunk with some overlap, and keep the source on every chunk.
Few-shot prompting
Putting a handful of example inputs and outputs in the prompt so the model copies their pattern without fine-tuning. Anthropic calls it multishot prompting.
Context engineering
Choosing everything a model sees on each call: the system prompt, tools, examples, history, files, tool results and memory. In an agent the choice repeats every turn.
Context rot
The drop in a model's accuracy as its input grows, well before the context window is full. Send less: fewer tools, trimmed tool results and fresh sessions that start from notes.
Agent harness
The code that runs a model as an agent. It calls the model in a loop, runs the tools it asks for, decides what goes into its context and checks each action against rules.
LLM eval
A test for an AI system: an input, a way to grade the output and a score you track. Build the first set from 20 to 50 real failures of your own app.
LLM as a judge
One model grading another model's output against criteria you write, for checks code cannot make. Trust it once its pass or fail verdicts agree with a person's labels.
Webhook (n8n)
A URL that starts a workflow when another app or script sends it an HTTP request. n8n's Webhook node has a test URL and a production URL.

Mindket Learn is a set of free AI courses for beginners and for builders. Its hands-on lessons cover AI assistants, writing, design, video and voice, Claude Code, open models, MCP, the Claude and OpenAI APIs, RAG, AI security, n8n and Dify. Steps and code come from the vendors' own docs. Every lesson is in English and Chinese, ends with a short quiz and needs no sign-up.

Questions about Mindket Learn

Is Mindket Learn free?

Yes. Every course and lesson is free to read, with no account and no sign-up. You only need an account to get or sell listings in the store.

Which course should I take first?

New to AI? Take the AI fundamentals path: AI basics, learning with AI, spotting AI fakes, then prompt engineering. For everyday office work, take Work faster with AI. To make pictures, designs, videos, voices or an app without code, take Create with AI. If you already code, start the Code with AI agents path with the Claude Code course. To automate work, start with the n8n course.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not for most of them. The AI fundamentals, Work faster with AI and Create with AI paths need no code, and nor does the first n8n course. Local AI, Hugging Face, fine-tuning, Claude Code, agent skills, MCP, the two API courses, RAG and the AI engineering path ask you to use a terminal and edit code.

How do I keep track of what I have done?

Press Mark as done at the end of a lesson. Your browser keeps the list, so the course outline ticks the lesson and each learning path shows how far you are. Nothing is sent to Mindket, and clearing this site's data clears it.

Where do the facts in the lessons come from?

From the vendors' own docs, specs and repositories, and from what the people who build and use the tools posted on X, YouTube and GitHub. Each lesson lists its sources at the end, with the day each was read.

How up to date are the lessons?

Each lesson shows the day it was published and last updated, and lists its sources with the day each was read. What's new on this page lists the latest changes the lessons cover, and Coming up lists the dates vendors have announced.

Is there a certificate?

No. Each lesson ends with a short Check yourself quiz instead, and the store holds skills, MCP servers and n8n templates to use next.
