The goal

Get genuinely good at using agents to build and maintain real software — on mature, commercial codebases, at scale, without making mistakes.

That means going past prompt tips: running agents against real systems and keeping quality high as you hand over more of the work.

02

Who it's for

  1. 01

    Engineers who struggle to get AI coding to scale beyond demos and prototypes.

  2. 02

    Engineers building a software factory who struggle to hold quality while pushing autonomy.

  3. 03

    Engineers already coding hands-off with parallel agents who want to push further.

03

What we study

  1. 01

    Context layer

    Curating exactly what the agent sees — the right context at the right time.

  2. 02

    Planning

    Build plans that don't fail, pushing the human higher up the abstraction layers.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Make it fast, efficient, reliable and parallel with remote environments.

  4. 04

    Validation

    Static analysis, conformance testing, model-based testing and formal methods.

  5. 05

    Self-improvement

    End-to-end feedback loops with automatic experiment selection and back-testing.

  6. 06

    Evals

    Empirically driven improvements instead of blind, gut-checked changes.

  7. 07

    Tool agnostic

    Use the best tool for the job. Learn principles rather than API surfaces.

04

What you get

A tight community

Small and curated. Everyone here is operating at the frontier — no spectators, no noise.

The techniques library

Free access to a growing library of techniques, patterns and ideas for autonomous, high-quality engineering.

05

Format

In person

Study groups hosted in London, every other month. Hands-on, high-bandwidth, no fluff.

Online

A high-signal WhatsApp group where the work-in-progress and the real findings get shared.

Come build with us.

We keep it small and high-signal. Tell us what you're building and how far you've pushed autonomy — we'll take it from there.
