About Leon van Zyl

New members are pointed to the 7 Day Builder Challenge, a free guided path, hosted in the Classroom, with one short lesson a day, which the listing says ends with a working app built with a coding agent.[1] The hub also holds starter projects, GitHub repos, prompt files and resource packs for the videos, workflows for Claude Code and other coding agents, threads where members share builds, and peer discussion.[1] The full Agentic Coding Masterclass, a weekly live Q&A, deep dives and direct support sit in a separate Skool group, Agentic Labs.[1]

Van Zyl's YouTube channel posts step-by-step tutorials on AI agents, automation workflows, vibe coding and agentic coding with tools such as n8n, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, with new videos every week.[2] On leonvanzyl.com, van Zyl is an AI engineer who builds autonomous agents and agentic tooling and makes hands-on tutorials.[3] Projects listed there include autoforge, an autonomous coding agent built on the Claude Agent SDK for long runs, and agentic-coding-starter-kit, a Next.js starter kit for agentic development workflows.[3] The site groups the work under agentic coding with Claude Code, Cursor and sub-agents, and workflow automation with n8n, Flowise and API orchestration.[3] Van Zyl is also named on the site of Cognaitiv, an agentic engineering studio that trains teams to work with coding agents, builds automations and AI-native software, and audits AI-generated code, and which describes him as having almost two decades of software engineering experience.[4]
