This Week:
We will preview some of the material that will be presented for workshops at the Space & Rocket AI Symposium later this month. For those that can’t make it to the symposium, this will be an opportunity to get an advance look, and also help presenters clarify or expand on any unclear information. I believe that 6 speakers are regular attenders of our meetups, with another 3 or 4 also on this mailing list – so we will be well represented at the Symposium.
We’ll start with my workshop – “Workshop: Building Your First AI Agents”. This will be based around the “Agent Playground” repository linked below. It’s a mix of python source code and Jupyter Notebooks intended to be run in Google Colab to provide a hands-on developer experience.
Josh will expand on his presentation with Git Worktrees and Agent Skills : Two topic additions to the content we covered in our Structured Agentic Software Engineering session. We will be covering how to utilize Git Worktrees to effectively partition parallel agent workloads and the new “Skills” open standard introduced by Anthropic for packaging compartmentalized capabilities that go beyond basic prompting. |
