01
An agent rules file in your repo
AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md written during the session: conventions, test commands, protected paths, MCP permissions and the things your codebase does that no model would guess.
02
A review checklist your team signs off on
Explicit checks for AI-generated diffs: error paths, least privilege, no secrets, dependency changes, and tests that cover the failure case, not just the happy one.
03
A working GitHub pipeline
Agent review running on real pull requests, with branch protection, required checks and a named human owner for every merge.
04
A delegation map
A written line through your backlog: what gets handed to an agent, what gets reviewed harder, and what stays human-owned regardless of deadline pressure.
05
A measurable baseline
Cycle time, review time, revert rate and escaped defects measured before the workshop, so the improvement claim after it is yours and not ours.
06
A 30-day adoption plan
Who owns the rules file, when it gets updated, how new joiners are onboarded, and a follow-up clinic where we review the diffs your team shipped without us.
