Spec-Driven Development for Agentic AI (Video Course)

Description

4+ Hours of Video Instruction

Turn unpredictable AI coding into reliable, production-ready software!

• Keep coding agents aligned with clear specifications.
• Reduce wasted tokens, regressions, and buggy code.
• Build tested software through an agile SDD workflow.

Spec-Driven Development for Agentic AI teaches a practical, agile approach to working with coding agents, so they stay aligned with your goals instead of drifting from them. Learn how to create clear specifications that guide development, reduce rework and buggy code, validate results through testing, and collaborate effectively with AI coding agents. Through a hands-on React project, you'll learn a lightweight engineering workflow for building high-quality software that can evolve rapidly and reliably as requirements change. While demonstrations in this course use Claude Code, the same principles can be applied with any AI coding agent or software development stack.
