Agentic Development Best Practices Part 2

Building a small automation with an agent is one thing. Shipping production-grade custom software with agents is another sport entirely. Drift compounds. Context windows blow up. The five parallel developer agents you spun up generate five conflicting versions of the same module. There’s a discipline to doing this well. This is the playbook MyZone runs to ship complex custom software with agents at production quality. Mike will walk you through it, live.

Agent-Built Software Doesn’t Scale by Adding More Agents

The most common mistake we see in agent-built custom software: someone spins up a PM agent. The PM agent spins up five developer agents. The team celebrates how fast the velocity charts look. Three weeks later, the codebase is incoherent. Three of the five modules contradict each other. Nobody can explain what’s actually in production. Parallelism without discipline is chaos with a faster clock speed.

The teams shipping real, durable, agent-built software figured out the opposite lesson. It’s better to have one agent and one developer working on a project for a longer period of time than to have a PM that spins up five and reassembles the pieces. Patience beats parallelism. Verification beats velocity. Architecture beats output.

This workshop is the field guide for doing it right. The verification loop that catches drift before it ships. The AGENTS.md and skills-tree architecture that keeps repos agent-friendly. The sub-agent and git-worktree patterns that finally make parallelism work. The evals-as-regression-tests discipline that turns every shipped bug into a permanent guardrail.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Part 2 is for developers, engineering leads, and technical founders using agents to ship real custom software. The ones who want production-grade discipline instead of velocity theater.

1. The Verification Loop

The pattern we apply on every stage. Produce artifact. Identify failure modes. Build verifier. Loop until clean. The single most important habit against drift.

2. AGENTS.md + Skills Tree

The repo structure that keeps agents focused. A 50-line root boot file plus an atomic skills directory loaded on-demand. Lean context. Cross-tool portable.

3. Visual Blueprint Before Code

Wireframes, then designs, then clickable mock-ups. Before a single component is built. Lock the definition of done. Get pixel-perfect QA at the end.

4. Sub-Agents and Git Worktrees

The experimental patterns letting us finally parallelize without drift. Isolated read-heavy investigators. Fresh-context reviewers. Parallel worktrees merged cleanly.

5. Evals as CI-Gated Tests

Every shipped bug becomes a permanent test case. The JSON eval format. The CI gate discipline. The 6-month retirement rule.

6. The Full QA Stack

Code-review agents. Security-review agents. Token-trimmer agents. Playwright. BrowserStack visual diffs. When each one earns its keep. When it’s overkill.

This Workshop Is For You If…

For You

You’re shipping production software with agents. And the cracks are starting to show. Drift. Hallucinations. Codebase incoherence.

For You

You lead an engineering team adopting agents. And you need a system your developers can apply without losing their craft.

For You

You’ve outgrown the basic pipeline. And you need the advanced patterns: verification loops, sub-agents, evals, architecture docs.

Haven’t taken Part 1 yet? Part 2 stands alone. Part 1 on July 9 covers the foundational pipeline. We recommend both.
