🚨 Final Mission: Securing Your Operative Badge
🕵️♂️ CODENAME: OPERATION COURSE COMPLETION
⏱️ Operation Time Window:
~5 minutes
🎯 Mission Brief
Welcome, Operative. You’ve completed your training. Now it’s time to make it official.
This final mission verifies that:
- You completed the hands-on work
- Your solution runs in a real environment
- Your badge is issued accurately and fairly
Badges aren’t auto-issued. They’re validated by humans.
That’s why every step below matters.
🏅 Secure Your Operative Badge
Every Agent Academy path, from Recruit → Operative → Commander, includes an official digital badge issued through the Global AI Community.
These badges are:
- Verifiable
- Shareable (LinkedIn, resumes, portfolios)
- Tied to real technical work, not just attendance

To ensure badges remain meaningful, we follow a strict validation protocol.
IMPORTANT
Only the Hiring Agent built in the Operative path is eligible for this badge.
Submissions using screenshots from any other agent (personal projects, demos, experiments, or agents built outside the Recruit labs) will be rejected, even if the agent works correctly.
Your screenshots must clearly show the Hiring Agent created by following the Operative path instructions.
🧭 Submission Protocol
Please follow each step exactly and in order.
Missing or incomplete submissions are the #1 cause of badge delays.
1. ⭐ Star the Agent Academy GitHub Repo
Why this matters:
- It helps others discover the Academy
- It signals active community engagement
- It directly supports continued investment in the project
Starring the repo is quick, free, and required for badge eligibility.
2. 📤 Submit the Operative Completion Form
This is the primary validation step. Submissions without clear evidence cannot be approved.
Required Evidence (All Mandatory)
Include three screenshots, clearly visible and unedited:
📸 A screenshot of your solution file
Environment name visible
The All section expanded
Confirms you built it and where it lives

📸 Hiring Agent Overview Screen
Environment name visible
Confirms the agent runs and responds

📸 Interview Agent Overview Screen
Environment name visible
Confirms the agent runs and responds

📝 All form fields completed
- Incomplete forms are automatically flagged
TIP
⚠️ Blurry screenshots, cropped environment names, or missing info will result in a validation comment and delay.
Click the Paste, drop or add files here button in the Final Solutions Screenshots field to add your images. Do not link to a document (we won't have access)
If you can't fit all the details on one screenshot (instructions, knowledge, tools, agents, etc), you can upload multiple screenshots.

3. 🧾 Complete the Badge Validation Form
This form:
- Links your submission to badge issuance
- Ensures correct email to send the badge to
- Allows you to agree to receiving a badge through the Global AI Community
Yes, it’s separate. Yes, it’s required.
This keeps the system scalable as participation grows.
4. 🔐 Create & Log In to Your Global AI Community Account
👉 Global AI Community Account Log In
Badges are issued through this platform.
If you don’t have an account:
- Create one using the same email you used in your forms
- Otherwise, your badge can’t be delivered
No account = no badge issuance (even with a valid submission).
⏳ Badge Deployment Timeline
Once all steps are completed correctly:
⏱️ Typical issuance: ~14 business days
We review submissions manually to ensure fairness and quality.
If any information is missing (screenshots, no badge form submission, etc), we will reply to your issue and inform you of what's missing. You'll have two weeks to respond with the required info. If that isn't provided we will close your issue and you'll have to go through the process again.
NOTE
Please don’t DM advocates or submit duplicate requests.
Duplicate entries slow everyone down.
