Agentic development training: ship with coding agents in your own repo
Codemation is a Dutch company that teaches teams to work with AI. Agentic Development is our training for developers on programming with coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex, in your own codebase, SDLC and CI/CD. Chris Blokland gives the training on site or online, in Dutch or English. We set the programme, length and price together in a free 30-minute intake.
The programme
Seven parts, from the first task to measuring.
We work in your own codebase, not in a sample project. In the intake we tune the order and the depth to what your team already does.
- Part 1
Working with a coding agent in an existing codebase
What an agent is good at and where it gets stuck. We start with real tasks from your repo.
- Part 2
Giving context: repo instructions, plans and tickets
What an agent needs to know before it starts, and how you write it down so the whole team benefits.
- Part 3
Review: humans stay in charge
How you review code from an agent, what you never take blindly, and who may merge what.
- Part 4
Tests and CI as the safety net
Targeted tests, CI checks and an automated reviewer that catch what an agent misses.
- Part 5
Parallel agents on branches
Several agents at once on separate tasks, without breaking each other's work.
- Part 6
Cost and security
Keeping cost under control. Secrets, permissions and what an agent must not touch.
- Part 7
Measuring whether it helps
How you see whether agents make your team faster or better, and when not to use them.
Who it is for
For developers and tech leads.
The training is for teams that write code in their own codebase and want to work with coding agents in a way that stays controlled.
- Developers who already use an AI assistant and want to go a step further, to agents that carry out tasks themselves
- Tech leads who want the team to work with them in a controlled way, with review, tests and CI
- Teams that want to practise in their own repo. We arrange the access for that in the intake

Your trainer
Training from someone who builds this way.
Chris Blokland is the founder of Codemation and has been programming for 23 years. In 2026 he built Codemation's automation platform with coding agents, every day, with Claude Code and Codex. The agents write code on branches, run targeted tests and open pull requests. CI checks and an automated reviewer check them; people review and merge. What he teaches comes from that work.

Questions we often get
Good to know
What do developers learn in this training?
Programming with coding agents in an existing codebase: giving context, reviewing, tests and CI as the safety net, parallel agents on branches, cost and security, and measuring whether it helps. By the end your team ships with agents in your own repo.
Is the training only for Claude Code?
No. Claude Code and Codex are the agents Chris works with himself, but the way of working is about coding agents in general. We discuss which tool you use in the intake.
Do we work in our own codebase?
That is the idea. What it takes, such as access and what the agent may see, we agree in the intake.
How do we keep quality from dropping?
People keep reviewing and merging. Tests, CI checks and an automated reviewer catch mistakes before code comes in. That is how Chris works himself, and we practise it with you.
How do we handle secrets and permissions?
That is part of the programme: what an agent may and may not see and do, and how you enforce it.
What does the training cost and how long does it take?
That is not fixed yet. We set the programme, length and price together with you in the free 30-minute intake, based on your team and your repo.
In Dutch or English, on site or online?
Both languages, for a team. On site at your office, or online in consultation.
How is this different from the AI Kickstart?
AI Kickstart is for the whole team, without technical knowledge: AI literacy and automating one process. Agentic Development is for developers and is about writing, reviewing and shipping code with agents.
