# From Intent to Merge: A Hands-On Workshop on Code Review in the Agent Era


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Coding agents help us write code quickly, but they’ve introduced a new challenge: ensuring developers can understand, trust, and maintain agent-generated code. That challenge now shows up across the software development lifecycle:
Context is scattered across multiple sessions


Developers have more code to review and less context to review it with.


Code hosts face more automated activity than they were designed for.


Agents burn tokens just trying to understand the codebase.
Solving these problems requires a new workflow and mindset for working with agents. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to preserve context across sessions, reduce wasted tokens, and review agent-generated changes with the context you need to merge confidently.
This workshop is for engineers, tech leads, and reviewers of all experience levels who want to work more efficiently with coding agents.
