The summary slide

Three trends, three lessons

01Intent over promptsA prompt is not a goal.

02Workflow over modelsThe workflow outlives the agent.

03Attention over typingGates watch, you own the goal.

MAKE NO MISTAKES

Own the understanding. Spend attention wisely.

Try it once yourself

Everything I mentioned

The skills and methods behind the stories. Most of them came straight from a co-host.

Grill Me

Matt Pocock

A skill that interviews you one question at a time until the plan is clear. In the talk it is the Refine step: you ramble, the AI asks.

BMad Method

Brian Madison

Agent personas, workflows and review gates, all packaged as skills. From the talk: Party Mode, the architecture skill that shrank from 2,523 to 86 lines, and self-review with QuickDev.

AI Unified Process

Simon Martinelli

Spec-driven development as a set of skills: requirements, use cases and entity model first, then stack skills for implementation, Flyway migrations and Playwright tests.

Semantic Anchors

Ralf D. Müller

Well-known terms like Gherkin or arc42 that load a whole method into the model with one word. Matt Pocock calls them leading words.

Guided Coding

Kenny Pflug

One change, one plan, one record. Includes Kenny's advice on finding the right plan size.

Docker Sandboxes

Docker

Run coding agents in a microVM with their own Docker and a host proxy for network rules and API keys. Context first, sandbox second.

Docker Sandboxes docs

biomelab

Manuel de la Peña

A dashboard for running several coding agents side by side, one worktree each, from created to PR merged.

Quanta

Johannes Rabauer

The running example of Act 2: adding chat to a local file search app, from idea to commit. Every PRD, spec and test from the stream is in the repo.
