It is a little hard finding good docs on that, e.g. with examples etc.
Following links may help you get started ...
Understanding the Automated Transaction system (AT)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=949438.0
Another Example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg10979890#msg10979890
(Found that by browsing vcbs posting history, i'm sure there is more.)
You will find ATDebugger and ATAssembler here:

Also i'm sure vcbs and CIYAM are willing to help on problems ...
