From SpecKit to Ralph, James and Frank unpack the new era of developer agents—how Copilot, AgentMD workflows and the GitHub Copilot SDK are moving us from simple completions to autonomous, tool-calling systems that can read, write and triage your repo. Expect practical takeaways: why Ralph’s task-loop and clarifying-questions model matters, how to break work into bite-sized tasks to avoid merge conflicts, and how to use the CLI/SDK to auto-fix lint/build failures, triage reviews, and automate everyday engineering chores.
