Advanced Code Review Masterclass
Follow a review from the first claim to the source, the evidence, the repair, and the conclusion it can actually support.
Follow the argument.
Check the evidence.
This course develops Axl’s graph-gated engineering and adversarially verified transformation architecture through his work on Nous Research’s Hermes Agent. The public paper All Gods Must Die establishes the authorship and foundation of that work.
The detailed cases follow real reviews: what the proposal promised, which revision was assessed, how evidence challenged the initial explanation, what a contributor repaired, and what remained unresolved. You learn to finish a defensible assessment while the repository keeps moving.
Pin the head and the base. Re-review against the previous review’s standard. Preserve contributor credit. Make a claim only as strong as its evidence.

For the reviewer
who wants to go deeper.
You can read a pull request and follow source code. Now you want to establish what a change means across state, identity, tools, processes, and restarts—and explain that conclusion fairly to another contributor.
Agents are active engineering participants throughout this course. Their investigations, implementations, checks, and independent challenges belong in the evidence. The course teaches how to understand and assess that work.
If those ideas are new to you, the free Introduction to Code Review gives you a complete place to begin.
