01
The Shift
Vibe coding is not agentic engineering.
- Vibe coding vs. agentic engineering
- From writing code to describing intent
- Spectrum: autocomplete to orchestrator
- Taste over syntax
- Live demo: same task, different approach
02
How Agents Actually Work
The mental model before touching tools.
- LLMs in 60 seconds
- Context windows and failure modes
- Tool calls: read, write, bash, search
- Agent loop: think, act, observe, repeat
- Ralph loops and recovery patterns
- Token economics and model capability tiers
03
Hands-On: Your First Agent Workflow
Stop watching, start building.
- Harness setup and model selection
- Loop: describe, review, iterate, ship
- Project context and instruction hygiene
- Trust boundaries and intervention points
- Hands-on build exercise
04
Harness Engineering
Configure and extend your agent runtime.
- Project instructions via CLAUDE.md
- Skills as reusable workflows
- CLI tools as agent interfaces
- Custom commands and automation layers
- Exercise: engineer a harness for a live project
05
Back Pressure
Quality gates that keep agents honest.
- Tests as first-line defense
- Linting, type checking, formatting
- CI as organizational back pressure
- Designing systems that resist bad output
- The trust equation for agent autonomy
06
Taste & Architecture
The core skills when agents write most code.
- Code review as primary skill
- System design and architecture decisions
- Context management at task level
- Workflow design over prompt tricks
07
Agent Orchestration
Scale from one agent to many.
- Parallel agents and task splitting
- Reusable prompts and automation layers
- MCP servers for tool access
- Live orchestration demo
08
Enterprise Reality
Adoption in real companies, especially in DACH.
- Gap between potential and current practice
- Data policies and guardrails
- What to adopt first and what to skip
- Agentic readiness scoring
- Building the leadership case
09
The One-Person Team
Shipping at team-scale with agentic workflows.
- Real workflows, numbers, and costs
- Building a personal toolchain over time
- The 80 percent trap
- Impact on roles, team size, and velocity
