Don't Write Prompts, Write Software
Skills are more than reusable prompts: they are composable units of behaviour. In this workshop, we’ll take a real end-to-end agent workflow and turn it into a working system built from skills. We’ll show how to identify the right behavioural units, turn them into discrete skills, refine and optimise them using Tessl’s review and eval tools, and bundle them into a reusable plugin. Along the way, we’ll explore why this approach is often more robust than relying on a single giant entry prompt, and how modular skills make agent behavior easier to test, improve, and reuse.
About
Baruch Sadogursky (@jbaruch) did Java before it had generics, DevOps before there was Docker, and DevRel before it had a name. He built DevRel at JFrog from a ten-person company through IPO, co-authored "Liquid Software" and "DevOps Tools for Java Developers," and is a Java Champion, Microsoft MVP, and CNCF Ambassador alumni.Today, he's obsessed with how AI agents actually write code. At Tessl, an AI agent enablement platform, Baruch focuses on context engineering, management, and sharing. On top of sharing context with AI agents, Baruch also shares knowledge with developers through blog posts, meetups, and conferences like DevNexus, QCon, Kubecon, and Devoxx, mostly about why vibecoding doesn't scale.
