Agent Harness Masterclass: Learn how to build an AI SDLC pipeline that automates your delivery
12TH EDITION | OCTOBER 1, 2026 | BARCELONA
Walk in with your repo. Walk out with an AI SDLC pipeline that plans, builds, reviews and tests it.
Previous editions sold out. Now we're back with an intermediate to advanced programme for engineers.
Trustpilot reviews for reference.
Right now every line of AI-written code still runs through you.
You write the prompt, you read the diff, you spot the mistake and you write the next prompt. The agent is fast, but it can only move as fast as you can check it.
That makes you the bottleneck of your own pipeline. You are the review step, the definition of done and the release gate, all at the same time. In this masterclass you hand those three jobs to the pipeline itself.
You give the agent a definition of done that it checks its own work against.
You add a subagent that reviews the code before you ever see it. You add a hook that blocks any commit that does not pass.
You still decide what ships, but you stop being the person everything waits for.
That is harness engineering. You build it in one day, on your own repo, with the same programme we teach at technical enterprises.
More reviews below.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Software engineers, developers and CTOs who have experience with AI-driven development in the terminal.
Not for you if you're not a developer, have never run an agentic coding tool, or if you came to watch instead of build.
WHERE THIS DAY SITS
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
Your own AI SDLC pipeline, not a demo:
A harness for your own repo: custom subagents that plan, build, review and test
A pipeline built on living documentation, planned git operations and forge artifacts
Templates for specs, tickets and decisions
Skills for every stage, so the pipeline runs on command
Your repo onboarded, first feature through it
Bring your own repo, greenfield or brownfield, side project or production codebase. No repo? A sandbox product is ready for you.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
How an AI-native software development lifecycle works
How to layer AI-native spec-, test- and design-driven development
How to design a harness stage by stage: what goes in, what comes out
How to disclose context progressively: each stage reads what it needs
How to design custom subagents and run them in parallel
How to make AI review AI, with findings you can verify
How to stop being the trigger: Claude managed agents and Codex triggers that act on signals and fix what they find
How to onboard a brownfield project: give an old repo the context it never had
SUBJECTS COVERED
The AI-native SDLC and harness engineering, layered with AI-native spec-, test- and design-driven development
Context engineering, including progressive context disclosure
Subagents: custom subagent design and parallel agent management
Review that runs itself: agentic code review, feedback loops and audit trails
Work without a trigger: Claude managed agents, Codex triggers and self-healing systems
Onboarding brownfield projects

FAQ
Who is this for, and what level do I need to be at?
Engineers, developers and CTOs who have experience with AI-driven software development. The morning sits at intermediate and the afternoon moves halfway into advanced. Note: this workshop is not for business people who want to learn how to automate repetitive tasks with AI.
Can my company pay? How do I get an invoice?
Yes. Go to luma.com/settings/payment, log in with the email you used to register, and download your invoice. It includes full VAT details for EU companies.
Can you run this for my team?
Yes. This is the public edition of the programme we run in-company for tech companies. Experience how we teach, then bring the same training to your own team, on your own repositories. Schedule an introduction on www.likeahuman.ai.
