This two-hour workshop at Enablis on 29 September 2026 puts you inside a real product build: a wedding seating planner that Enablis is actively developing for a client. You're not watching a demo. You arrive, assess what's already built, work out what "done" looks like, and then get it over the line — keeping feuding relatives apart, handling dietary requirements, respecting top-table protocol, and filling every chair.
The session is structured around Enablis's eight-step process for agentic engineering. That covers grounding, framing, wiring in context, model choice, parallel work, delegation, tests that define "done", and a clear trail from request to finished work. Claude Code is already wired into the repo via MCP connections to Jira and knowledge bases. The CLAUDE.md is written, the subagents are configured, the tests are in place. You spend the session engineering, not configuring.
You'll practise running several agents in parallel across worktrees and branches, and you'll work through the full workflow: task raised, written up, built, reviewed, tested. The repo is yours to keep at the end, wired up and ready to use as a reference on your own work.
The format is hands-on and collaborative. Engineers of any level are welcome, as are tech leads, architects and consultants. If you're not technical, Enablis will pair you with someone who is. Refreshments are included. The session runs 08:00–10:00 BST at 1 York Place, LS1 2DR in Leeds city centre.
Enablis runs the EnableTech meetup series out of their city-centre office, bringing Leeds engineers together around practical, applied sessions rather than slide-heavy talks. This one sits in a broader strand they call Release Notes: Live — working sessions built around real client work rather than contrived exercises.
Why attend
You'll leave with a concrete method — eight named steps — for keeping agents under control on actual client work, not a toy project. The repo is pre-wired and yours to keep, so there's no setup overhead when you try this on Monday morning.
The room will be engineers, tech leads and architects who are already thinking about agentic workflows. Two hours of focused, peer-based work on a real product is a more useful morning than another conference talk. Refreshments are provided, and the venue is a short walk from Leeds city station.
