AI Security Meetup with Hack Miami
Details
Hey everyone,
We're excited to kick off the AI Security Engineers Community with our first event in collaboration with the amazing Hack Miami community!
Join us on Saturday, June 13, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM EDT at:
📍 Broward County Main Library
100 S Andrews Ave
Fort Lauderdale, FL
We'll be hosting Brian Clark, Staff Developer Advocate at Snyk, for a session on building more effective AI-powered developer workflows.
Talk Title:
Four Extension Points, One Mental Model: Rules, Skills, Hooks, and MCP in Practice
What you'll learn:
AI coding tools have four extension points: Rules, Skills, Hooks, and MCP. Most engineers are only using one of them, which is why their setups can feel more like an autocomplete than agentic. In this session we'll unpack each layer, anchor them to a single mental model (probabilistic vs. deterministic), and work through a four-question framework you can use to decide which extension point fits any given task. We'll close with an example production stack and the most common configuration mistake, so you can walk out and ship a better setup the same day.
Whether you're experimenting with AI coding assistants, building agentic workflows, or just curious about where developer tooling is headed, this session is for you.
