AI coding agents can generate code quickly, but without clear intent, constraints, and validation, the result can become inconsistent and difficult to maintain. Spec-Driven AI Engineering changes the workflow: instead of starting with code, developers turn business needs into structured specifications that guide both humans and agents.

In this advanced, hands-on workshop, participants apply that approach end to end. Using Spec Kit, they refine a customer-support scenario into requirements and an implementation plan, then build an agentic application in C# or Python with Microsoft Agent Framework. In the second lab, they create a local SupportOps MCP server and connect it to the application, adding customer data access and business actions such as ticket creation, escalation, and refund requests.

Participants leave with a repeatable workflow for moving from intent to implementation and a working example that combines specifications, agent orchestration, and MCP behind a clean host-server boundary.
