What you'll learn
Turn an issue into an agent task
Structure a real issue so a background agent can execute it without you.
Run the agent in the background
Delegate the implementation and keep working on something else.
Verify before the pull request
Run tests and quality gates before anything reaches review.
Keep a human delivery gate
Open a verified pull request and leave the merge decision with an engineer.
Why this topic matters
The real test of an agentic system is whether it can take a real issue and hand you a pull request that has already passed your automated checks. In this live demo I run the full workflow end to end: an issue becomes a task, a background agent works in isolation, verification passes, and a pull request opens for human review. It is the same pipeline the cohort builds on your own codebase. Part 4 of 4 in the Software Factory series.
