The 4-Step Agentic Engineering Workflow I Use to Ship Real Apps | Micky Shimeles

This article details Micky’s 4-step agentic engineering workflow designed to prevent the creation of low-quality code. The process involves isolating each task for agents, building based on a clear structure, proving functionality through validation loops, and shipping after agents review or escalate pull requests. This workflow ensures that all code shipped to users undergoes rigorous testing and review.

• Micky’s agentic engineering workflow consists of four steps: Isolate, Build, Prove, and Ship.
• Step 1 (Isolate) involves giving each agent its own copy of the code to enable parallel processing.
• Step 2 (Build) focuses on writing code with a service-layer architecture, clear inputs, and structured outputs.
• Step 3 (Prove) uses evidence-driven testing where agents screen-record their testing process.
• Step 4 (Ship) involves using an AI reviewer like Greptile to test and improve pull requests before a potential manual review.
• The article also briefly touches upon topics like AI skills becoming obsolete and comparisons between coding tools like Astra and Fable.
