“Vibe‑coding” is trending: prompt until something seems to work. The outcome is often code that's difficult to understand and maintain. In this full‑day hands‑on workshop, the speakers introduce EXACT Coding — Example‑Guided, AI‑Collaborative & Test‑Driven — a pragmatic workflow for AI‑assisted development with an emphasis on readability, refactorability, and maintainability. The day combines short modules with extensive practice. Participants work in pairs and in small three‑person mobs (driver + two navigators) to experience collaborative design and development at a sustainable pace.

The workshop covers four focused introductions — Test‑Driven Development (TDD), Example Mapping, Mob/Ensemble Programming, and AI tooling (Claude Code and Cursor; Claude Code API key provided) — followed by iterative exercises that apply the methods together. Teams translate examples into tests, steer prompting intentionally using rule files and explicit commands, and rely on tests as a living specification to enable safe refactoring. Human‑in‑the‑loop decisions remain central: groups judge “good enough,” choose where to restructure, and decide when to prompt again. By the end, attendees can run the workflow in their own teams to raise code quality, reduce coupling, and avoid vibe‑coding their way into an unmaintainable codebase.
