A harness, not just an agent

Claude CodeCodex

Writing code is no longer the bottleneck. Trusting the code is.

You build with agents every day. But you still read every line before it ships. You spend more time reviewing than building. Your agents only move as fast as you can read.

A harness changes that. You design the pipeline once. Agents plan, build, review and test, each with one job. A hook blocks code that does not pass. The rules live in the repo, not in your head.

You stop being the bottleneck. You set the standard, and the harness holds every change to it.

By 17:00 the harness runs on your own repo. You take the SDLC plugin home to keep building.

What you'll learn

Design the harness
  • See how an AI-native SDLC works.
  • Design it phase by phase: what goes in, what comes out.
Templates and skills
  • Write templates for specs, tickets and decisions.
  • Turn each phase into a skill that runs on command.
  • Keep the rules in the repo, not in heads.
Subagents for each job
  • Design your own subagents.
  • Each one reads only what it needs.
  • Run them side by side.
AI reviews AI
  • Give agents a definition of done.
  • Get findings you can verify.
  • A hook blocks what does not pass.
Agents that start themselves
  • Claude managed agents and Codex triggers act on signals.
  • You stop being the trigger.
Onboard your own repo
  • Give an old repo the context it never had.
  • Your repo ships its first feature.

Just did their one-day Claude masterclass and honestly I'm blown away. I went in thinking I had a decent handle on AI but came out with my mind completely rewired. The team at Like a Human AI really know their stuff — they don't just teach you prompting tricks, they actually help you understand how to think differently about the whole thing. Super practical, super engaging, zero nonsense. Already using what I learned and seeing the difference. Can't recommend it enough, seriously worth every penny.

Prior to today's workshop, I could operate Claude code, but was constantly "at the wheel". LAH taught us the right way to think about the building blocks used to operate Claude code more effectively. I didn't manage to complete the application I planned in a day (it was quite ambitious), but am confident I will. Stefan recognized I had some previous experience and triggered me to raise my goals, leading to even more knowledge gained. As predicted, I'm now suffering from brainfry ;)

Prior to the Masterclass, I only had a surface knowledge of certain Claude Code functionality. I heard of skills, agents, plugins but that's it. Now I can actually talk about them, and build them.
