Barcelona · 19 to 23 September 2026
Your agents ship code every week. Who checked it?
We took that question to Barcelona for AI Week. A weekend sponsoring the HackBarna challenge track at Norrsken House, then 80 minutes in Workshop Room B at the AI Summit with a room full of people on their keyboards.
19 and 20 September
HackBarna at Norrsken House. 150 builders for the weekend, and our own challenge track running alongside.
22 September
AI Summit Barcelona at the World Trade Center. Workshop Room B, 10:00 to 11:20.
80 minutes
Six tasks. 58 of those minutes were hands on the keyboard, not slides.
Yours to keep
A forked repository, a configured agent, and a reusable skill to take back to work.
AI Summit Barcelona · AI Foundations track
When code is cheap, governance is the hard part
Workshop 2 on the AI Foundations track, Tuesday 22 September, Workshop Room B. A practitioner session that put people on their keyboards at minute five and kept them there.
An agent writes the feature in seconds. Deciding whether you can put your name on it in a change record is the part that still takes work. The six tasks walk that distance, from a prompt with no context at all to a check the agent runs on itself.
0
5 min
Setup check
Fork, clone, run the demo service. Zero dependencies, so conference wifi couldn’t break anyone’s setup.
1
8 min
The naked loop
Ask an agent for a feature with no context at all, then try to say whether the result is safe to merge.
2
10 min
The context layer
Add an AGENTS.md, run the same request again, and diff the two answers against each other.
3
13 min
Configure Norma
Connect the MCP server over OAuth so the agent can check its own work before you read it.
4
12 min
Close the loop
Fix what the check found, then run it again until the file comes back clean.
5
10 min
Package it as a skill
Turn the whole thing into something you can drop into your own projects on Monday.
“Context is necessary. It is not sufficient.”
The line the session turns on, and the reason Task 3 exists. A good AGENTS.md changes what the agent writes. It still doesn’t tell you whether what came back passes your rules.
The demo service, all six tasks, catch-up branches, and a written-out example of every file the session asks you to create.

Production Ready: ship AI code you can defend
We sponsored the third edition of HackBarna and ran a challenge track on the same idea as the workshop. 150 builders had the weekend to make something, with no-code tools, vibe coding, an agent, or a full stack, and then had to show it held up.
The prize for the track was a mechanical keyboard and 12 months of Norma Pro. The keyboards are the ones stacked on the table in the photo.

The room
The repository is yours to keep
The free plan is permanent, and it covers everything the workshop asked of it. Point Norma at a repository you own and see what comes back.
