Most people use coding AI as a smarter chatbot, which leads to long prompts, a lot of correcting and unpredictable quality. This workshop teaches the opposite: onboard the model like a colleague, with clear rules, the right context and explicit expectations.

What it covers

  • AGENTS.md, so a model arrives already knowing the project

  • Subagents that divide work, and when delegation beats collaboration

  • Custom slash commands that standardise a workflow across a team

  • Giving a model durable memory, so it remembers earlier debugging and decisions between sessions

  • Wiring AI to the real stack: DevOps, Jira, databases, the terminal and the browser, not only the open files

It is demonstrated with Claude Code, but the patterns are deliberately vendor-neutral and work with Codex, Gemini and other assistants. The repository is a real Next.js codebase participants build features in, with a template AGENTS.md to take home.

I have run versions of this at BI and internally, and a related talk on keeping development speed high with AI at Aneo.
