What is an agentic engineering template?

An agentic engineering template is a pre-configured project template designed for software teams working with AI coding agents. It provides a ready-to-use workflow to designate work items as To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done.

Work items can be assigned directly to agents like Jira Coding Agent, Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot. Agents pick up the task, write the code, and open a pull request for your team to review.

A guided setup wizard walks you through connecting your preferred agents and activating agentic workflows in minutes, so your team can start delegating work from day one.

What’s included in the agentic engineering template?

Visualize your agentic workflow end-to-end. Work items move through To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done, so you can see exactly what your agents are working on and what’s waiting for a human review.
