Why it matters
Choose this if AI-generated work is inconsistent because tickets, specs, context, and handoffs are too vague.

Book a team workshop consult →The operating loop
Plan the work before you ask an agent to execute it.
This workshop teaches the layer that makes coding agents useful: six steps you walk for every piece of work, each in its own agent session, all reading from the same organized context.
- ALIGN
- Clarify the real outcome and surface what is still unknown
- SPEC
- Define what done means in terms anyone can check
- PROPOSE
- Agree on how the change fits the codebase before any code is written
- BUILD
- Execute from the agreed spec and plan, one focused session at a time
- VERIFY
- Check the result against the spec and trace any miss back to its cause
- HAND OFF
- Move finished work cleanly to reviewers and whoever picks it up next
Outcomes
What you'll take back to work
Turn vague requirements into specs your team can review and an agent can build from
Organize context you can reuse across sessions and share with your team
Scope agent sessions to a single job and plan changes that fit an existing codebase
Verify results against acceptance criteria and trace misses back to their cause
Package repeatable work as skills, with evals that prove they work
