Effective Agentic Development Workshop
2-day onsite intensive · Up to 20 engineers per cohort
Overview
This workshop teaches engineering teams to wield agentic coding assistants—Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, pi, and others—as first-class development tools rather than autocomplete toys. Participants will master the full agentic development lifecycle: context engineering, skills authoring, the agentic dev loop, event-driven backpressure (deterministic tools wired to agent events for imperative self-correction), and production-grade deployment pipelines.
The curriculum is tool-agnostic by design. We teach principles that transfer across any agentic stack while providing hands-on experience with the leading tools of 2026.
Key Outcomes
- Engineer context-rich agent environments (AGENTS.md, skills, MCP servers, code graphs)
- Write BACKPRESSURE.md as the verification contract; wire deterministic tools to agent events for imperative self-correction
- Generate and validate tests at every layer: unit, integration, E2E, visual regression
- Deploy agent-generated code through staging → blue/green → canary with automatic rollback
- Configure the full agentic dev loop: Prompt → Generate → Verify → Iterate → Ship
- Implement agentic code review, PR automation, and evidence-first review workflows
Who Should Attend
- VP of Engineering / CTO — shipping faster without sacrificing quality or security
- Principal / Staff Engineers — establishing agentic development standards
- DevSecOps / Platform Engineering — building CI/CD pipelines for agent-generated code
- Engineering Managers — rolling out agentic practices across teams
