Hardcore Agentic Engineering for builders who ship

What you’ll do:

• Build a real agentic harness in 3 weeks from an initial loop to a verified deterministic gate
• Brief the goal, steer the run, verify the result: in class, then on your own repo each week. You’ll ship on Demo Day.

Why this matters:

Everyone worries AI makes engineers worse. After two years building entirely with agents, we’ve found the opposite: a high-ceiling skill is forming: driving agents to produce work, then engineering the proof it’s correct.

The split isn’t who uses AI; everyone does. It’s engineering your mindset, process, and harness versus letting agents ship slop.

Agentic Engineering where the unit of review is a goal, not a diff is a brand-new practice.

• The courses that do exist teach the easy part: idea to prototype in minutes.
• The hard part: making an agent’s code correct, yours to understand, and safe to ship over months is what almost no one can teach, because few have done it for real.

We have, entirely by driving agents (what we build at SpecStory, used by 200K+ engineers). And you’ll learn it live in a build room we made: Stoa, not Zoom.

It’s not my rip
