AI Coding Summit NYC

The Problem
Enterprise engineering teams are burdened by aging Node.js/Express monoliths tightly coupled to fragile templates and untyped data layers. Manually refactoring these massive codebases into modern cloud-native architectures is notoriously slow, introduces severe regressions, and creates massive code review bottlenecks for developer workflows.

The Solution
Instead of manual rewrites, modern teams can harness advanced agentic-programming patterns to orchestrate dedicated agent swarms. This workshop guides advanced engineers through an automated refactoring and migration pipeline using Google Antigravity. Attendees will learn how to leverage structured task planning, parallel subagents, and automated LLM code reviews to transform a legacy Express monolith into a strongly-typed Next.js application.

Key Takeaways
By the end of this hands-on session, attendees will be able to:

1. Orchestrate Agent Swarms: Author deterministic task plans and custom Agent Skills that direct parallel subagents to audit legacy middleware, API contracts, and schemas.

2. Execute AI Refactoring & Migrations: Automate large-scale structural code generation while establishing rigorous LLM-assisted code review gates.

3. Implement AI-Assisted Testing & QA: Set up autonomous CI/CD verification loops where agents execute failing tests, parse error logs, and self-correct code until runtime parity is perfectly proven.

Stop prompting. Start orchestrating. In four intense hours you'll go from using Claude Code like a faster autocomplete to commanding it like a senior engineer commands a team: engineering its context, deploying fleets of subagents, locking it down with hooks, and turning it loose on work that runs without you.Every Claude Code user hits a ceiling where the easy wins run out. The agent handles small stuff beautifully, then loses the thread on anything real. The difference between that ceiling and real mastery isn't better prompts. It's control. This workshop is about control.You'll spend the whole four hours inside CLASH, a real full-stack application, handed to you fully built so nothing stands between you and the hard parts. A serious codebase is the point: it's the only place agentic engineering shows you whether it actually holds up.The throughline is context. Treated carelessly, the context window fills with noise until the agent drifts. Treated as a resource you engineer, it becomes the biggest lever you have. From there the toolkit opens up. Repeatable work becomes a reusable Skill. Noisy, exploratory work goes to subagents that run in their own isolated context, several at once when the job allows. Hard rules become hooks the agent cannot cross. Your own systems come into reach through MCP.Then you let go of the wheel, carefully. The same agent that pairs with you can run headless in a pipeline, drive a long task to a defined finish on its own, or live inside your software through the Agent SDK. We close by setting two greenfield methodologies, Spec Kit and BMAD, side by side, so you leave knowing not just how to drive the agent but which approach fits which problem.Two ideas hold it together: context is king, and you push it, you own it. This was never about generating code faster. It's about staying in command while the agent does more.This is an advanced session for engineers, tech leads, and architects who already use Claude Code every day and want to reach the top of the curve. We move fast, and we start in the deep end.
