Vibe & agentic coding

Agentic Coding training courses

Use autonomous coding agents effectively: specs instead of prompts, task decomposition, test-driven loops, multi-agent setups and governance.

Agentic coding means working with AI agents that carry out development tasks largely on their own: they read code, plan changes, run commands and tests, and correct themselves based on the results. Tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, the GitHub Copilot coding agent and Cursor’s agent mode have made this way of working practical for everyday use. This vendor-neutral course teaches the underlying methodology so that you achieve reliable results whatever the tool, and redefine the developer’s role within your engineering team.

The core shift is from ad hoc prompts to robust specifications. You will learn to decompose and describe tasks so that agents solve them reliably, to set up test-driven loops in which tests act as objective acceptance criteria, and to run several agents in parallel or with a division of labour. We also cover review strategies for agent-generated code and team governance: permissions, security boundaries, accountability, cost control and the gradual introduction of agentic workflows into your existing development processes.

Core content of every Agentic Coding course

Module 1 Foundations of agentic development
  • How coding agents work: tool calls, context windows and feedback loops
  • Comparing tools: terminal agents, IDE agents and cloud agents
  • Recognising suitable tasks and choosing levels of autonomy deliberately
  • The new role in the team: from implementation to steering and acceptance
Module 2 Specifications instead of prompts
  • Describing tasks with goal, context, constraints and acceptance criteria
  • Keeping project context in files such as CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or rules
  • Plan-first approach: let the agent draft a solution and review it before implementation
  • Versioning specifications and maintaining them as part of the repository
Module 3 Task decomposition and test-driven agent loops
  • Breaking large initiatives into independent, verifiable sub-tasks
  • Having tests written first and using them as an objective stopping criterion
  • Using linters, type checks and builds as automatic feedback
  • Recognising stuck loops and restarting with a new strategy
Module 4 Multi-agent setups and parallel work
  • Defining specialised subagents for research, implementation, testing and review
  • Organising parallel work with branches, worktrees and isolated environments
  • Orchestration: merging results and resolving conflicts
  • Sharing tools and data sources through MCP
Module 5 Review, security and team governance
  • Review strategies for large, agent-generated changes
  • Defining permissions, sandboxing and protection against prompt injection
  • Embedding agents in CI pipelines and pull request processes
  • Planning team guidelines, accountability, costs and a phased rollout

What you will be able to do

  • You understand how coding agents work and choose the right tool and level of autonomy.
  • You write specifications and project context that agents can work with reliably.
  • You break initiatives into verifiable sub-tasks and steer agents through test-driven loops.
  • You use multi-agent setups and parallel work in a controlled way.
  • You establish review, security and governance rules for agentic work in your team.

Frequently asked questions

How does agentic coding differ from vibe coding?

Vibe coding relies on fast, intuitive iteration in natural language and is particularly suited to prototypes. Agentic coding is an engineering discipline for professional codebases: precise specifications, tests as acceptance criteria, clear permissions and structured reviews ensure that agents deliver reliable, maintainable results even in complex, long-lived projects.

Is the course tied to a specific tool?

No. The course teaches methods that work with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, the GitHub Copilot coding agent, Cursor and comparable tools. The exercises highlight differences and common ground, for example in context files, permissions and subagents. You can work with whichever tool your organisation already uses or plans to adopt.

How do we stay in control of quality and security with autonomous agents?

Control comes from several layers: tightly scoped permissions and sandboxing, tests and static analysis as automatic checks, mandatory human review before merging, and clear team rules on accountability. During the course you develop a governance concept that fits your processes, security requirements and regulatory obligations.

Prerequisites

You have several years of development experience, are confident with Git, testing and CI, and ideally have already used AI coding tools.

Your own laptop with Git, a terminal and your development environment, plus access to at least one coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot or Cursor.
