Pro-Code Workflow with Agents Toolkit
Curated learning path • 6 posts
Treat declarative agents like real software. Source control, environment variables, multi-environment deploys, CI/CD pipelines, and coding agents that build agents.
Once an agent matters to your business, low-code stops scaling. This collection covers the engineering discipline you put around declarative agents with the Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit: why pro-code wins past a certain ceiling, how environment variables and .env files work, how to ship across dev, staging, and prod, how to wire CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, and how to combine coding agents and Work IQ context to build agents from natural language.
