Vibe Engineering Workshops

What you get

A team that ships working software with AI tools at speed -- without the fragile demos and endless “regenerate this” loops that burn trust.

Vibe coding is fast generation without enough structure: the model guesses, you merge, and quality drifts. Harness engineering (as OpenAI’s engineering team describes it) is the other side of that coin: humans design the environment, specify intent, and build feedback loops so agents can do reliable work. The scarce resource is human attention -- so you invest it in scaffolding, legibility, and guardrails, not in typing every line.

Your engineers are already using Copilot, Cursor, or Claude. The shift is learning to work like humans steer, agents execute: repository and docs that agents can navigate, tests and observability that close the loop, and boundaries (architecture, validation at the edges) that let you move fast without decay.

How it works

1. Baseline -- we benchmark your team’s current workflow and find where speed costs quality (and where harness-style structure would unlock more throughput).
2. Workshop sessions -- interactive, code-along work covering:
   • Scaffolding before generating -- templates, CI, and conventions so the agent isn’t starting from a blank slate every time.
   • Intent and feedback loops -- clear task specs, local verification, and observability so agents (and humans) can see when something is wrong without guesswork.
   • Agent legibility -- short entry points (e.g. a concise AGENTS.md as a map, not a novel) and structured docs so context scales without drowning the task.
   • Guardrails that multiply -- testing the critical path, parse/validate at boundaries, and linters or checks that encode team taste once and apply everywhere.
3. Follow-up coaching -- async support so the habits stick and edge cases get resolved.

Results show up early. Teams leave with confidence in the AI tools, plus follow-up coaching to make the habits stick.

Who it’s for

Engineering teams already using AI tools that want to go from “it’s useful” to a harness-style practice: high agent throughput with discipline in the system around the code, not heroics in the prompt box.
