Course Objective & Scope
Many engineering teams have had AI coding licences for months yet remain stuck at single-line autocomplete and copy-paste chat—and when they try autonomous agent modes, they hit broken builds and unreviewable diffs. This intensive bridge programme takes developers from basic assistant usage to disciplined agentic coding in one cohesive track.
Moving across maturity levels (L1 autocomplete → L2 context-pinned inline edits → L3 planned multi-file changes → L4 closed-loop coding agents), authoring AGENTS.md rules, running Plan-Act-Verify loops and preparing clean PRs are practised hands-on.
Who Should Attend?
- Software engineers ready to move beyond basic Copilot/Cursor autocomplete to agentic workflows
- Tech leads establishing a shared AI coding standard across their squad
- Full-stack, backend, frontend and mobile engineering teams
- Prerequisite: active software development and Git experience
Key Takeaways
- Match task complexity to the right interaction mode (inline completion, multi-file edit or CLI agent)
- Feed precise symbol, type and architectural context to maximise first-pass accuracy
- Enforce plan approval before multi-file edits to keep architectural control
- Wire test and linter execution into the agent loop for self-verifying implementation
- Author a starter
AGENTS.mdand pre-PR verification checklist for their repository
Curriculum
The Four Maturity Levels of AI-Assisted Coding
- Contrasting autocomplete, context-pinned edits, multi-file composer and autonomous agents
- Choosing the right mode for each task to avoid context overhead and broken diffs
Precision Context Pinning and Repository Rules
- Pinning files, symbols, type definitions and canonical examples
- Defining architectural guardrails in
AGENTS.mdand.cursor/rules
Agentic Coding with the Plan-Act-Verify Loop
- Running read-only discovery and reviewing the implementation plan before code edits
- Closing the loop with compiler, typechecker and unit-test execution
End-to-End Task Lab and Clean PR Delivery
- Completing a real feature or bug fix through small Git checkpoints
- Diff review, security sanity checks and documenting the team workflow standard
