The 4-Step Agentic Engineering Workflow I Use to Ship Real Apps | Micky Shimeles

TL;DR

  • Micky's agentic engineering workflow consists of four steps: Isolate, Build, Prove, and Ship.
  • Step 1 (Isolate) involves giving each agent its own copy of the code to enable parallel processing.
  • Step 2 (Build) focuses on writing code with a service-layer architecture, clear inputs, and structured outputs.
  • Step 3 (Prove) uses evidence-driven testing where agents screen-record their testing process.
  • Step 4 (Ship) involves using an AI reviewer like Greptile to test and improve pull requests before a potential manual review.
  • The article also briefly touches upon topics like AI skills becoming obsolete and comparisons between coding tools like Astra and Fable.
