EasySpecs Labs
Learn agentic coding basics with your harness — in one Barcelona day.
Cursor, Claude Code, or whatever you already use: a hands-on introduction to professional agentic coding and Specification-Driven Development (SDD) — write clear specs, run agents against them, and ship diffs you trust without the full Dark Factory stack.
- €399
- 1 day · Barcelona
Builder outcome
You leave with a repeatable Monday habit — specs that agents can execute, a harness configured for your IDE, and a spec → implement → verify loop that produces merge-worthy work whether you freelance, join a team, or ship for an employer.
What you leave with
- Agentic coding fundamentals — harness, context, and when an agent run is done
- Your IDE harness configured for repeatability — Cursor, Claude Code, or your stack
- SDD habits — structured specs as the input agents and reviewers trust
- A spec → implement → verify loop with merge-worthy exercises on your laptop
- Playbook starter you can reuse solo or bring back to your team
Workshop curriculum
One-day curriculum — harness + SDD basics
No factory-floor depth — this day is about the fundamentals: how agentic coding works in your harness, and how Specification-Driven Development keeps intent ahead of generated code.
Agentic coding fundamentals
What changes when you move from chat to agentic coding: harness, context layers, explicit objectives, and verification before you call a run done — on real repo tasks, not toy demos.
Your harness — Cursor, Claude Code, or whatever you use
Wire the IDE or CLI you already pay for: rules, skills, MCP basics, and session habits so every run starts from the same facts instead of a blank prompt.
Specification-Driven Development (SDD)
Structured intent before code — PRDs, SRS-style specs, acceptance signals, and change control so agents and human reviewers pull one source of truth. The missing layer between “what we want” and merge-worthy diffs.
The spec → agent → verify loop
Hands-on exercises on your laptop: draft or refine a spec, run your harness against it, review the diff, and iterate until it passes your bar — the same loop you can reuse solo or bring back to a crew.
Key metrics
- Investment: €399 · 1 day · Barcelona · in person
- Conservative payback: ~2–4 weeks on billable or employer delivery
- Year 1 ROI (conservative): aligns with development workshop math at individual scale
- Focus: agentic coding + SDD basics — not Dark Factory factory layers or diploma
When to use this program
When you want a grounded first day with agentic coding and SDD before Dark Factory depth or company-funded team training — or when you need in-person coaching on your harness in Barcelona.
Conservative ROI scenario
Two to four weeks to pay back a €399 seat
Conservative scenario: save three to four billable hours per week once specs and harness habits cut rework and vague prompts — the ticket pays back in 2–4 weeks, with Year 1 multiples comparable to the org workshop math at individual throughput.
Agentic Coding Coaching
Workshops are coached by senior EasySpecs practitioners — product, structured requirements, and platform architecture at the table with your team, not junior facilitators reading slides.
Xesca Alabart
Lead coach — product & requirements · CEO, EasySpecs
Xesca combines product leadership with requirements engineering, helping teams turn business intent into explicit objectives and acceptance signals agents can work against—not vague chat prompts.

- Aligns engineering, product, and design without diluting technical depth
- Brings structured requirements practice into AI-assisted delivery
- Based in Barcelona; delivers in English, Spanish, or Catalan as needed
Carlos Guirao
Carlos Guirao Capistany
Lead coach — platform & agent workflows · CTO, EasySpecs
Carlos architects EasySpecs’ platform and AI systems with an emphasis on safe, reviewable change in mature codebases. He focuses on boundaries, APIs, and verification so agentic engineering produces diffs your team can trust—not opaque churn.
- Systems and integration architecture for complex products
- Hands-on with agent workflows, tools, and how they land in your repository
- Leads the technical spine behind Application Mapping and agent-ready context
FAQ
How is this different from Dark Factory?
Agentic coding (€399) teaches harness basics and SDD — spec → agent → verify on your laptop. Dark Factory (€600) goes deeper on factory layers, compound engineering, Harness infrastructure, and a diploma pathway. Start here if SDD and your IDE harness are the gap.
Do I need my own API credits?
Yes. Bring your laptop, the harness you already use (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), funded API credits, and git access for hands-on SDD and agentic coding exercises.
Can my company send me?
Yes — it is an individual ticket whether you pay or your employer does. For multi-seat org-funded programs with repo-native depth, see company training instead.
