This two-hour hands-on workshop at Enablis in Leeds city centre puts you to work on a real product: a wedding seating planner built with agentic AI. The challenge is concrete — plan the seating, keep feuding relatives apart, handle dietary requirements, respect top-table protocol, and leave no spare chairs. The repo is pre-wired when you arrive. The CLAUDE.md is done, the MCP connections are in place, the subagents and tests are ready. You spend the session engineering, not configuring.

The session is structured around Enablis's eight-step process for agentic engineering, developed on real client work. You'll work out what's already finished, define what "done" looks like, then get the product over the line working alongside other attendees. The eight steps cover grounding, framing, wiring in context, model choice, parallel work, delegation, tests that define done, and a clear trail from request to finished output. You'll also practice running several jobs at once — splitting work across worktrees and branches so multiple agents run in parallel without clashing.

The tools in play are Claude Code wired into Jira and knowledge bases via MCP, so the agent works from your actual context rather than guessing at a one-line prompt. You'll leave with a working repo to keep as your own reference.

The session is hosted by lisa.cotton and dien.curtis from Enablis. It's aimed at hands-on developers — engineers of any level, tech leads, architects and consultants. If you're not technical, organisers will pair you with someone who is.

Enablis runs EnableTech, a regular meetup series for the Leeds tech community focused on practical engineering topics. This particular session sold out its first date; a repeat is running on 29 September 2026 for those who missed out. Refreshments are included. The event is free to attend.

Why attend

You'll work through Enablis's eight-step agentic engineering method on a real product, using Claude Code connected to Jira and knowledge bases via MCP. That's a full workflow — task raised, written up, built, reviewed, tested — compressed into two hours.

The room will be engineers, tech leads and architects doing the same thing alongside you. The repo is yours to keep at the end, pre-wired and ready to adapt to your own projects. Refreshments are included and there's a networking slot from 14:00.
