- Shift from code-first to writing-first to use AI effectively, emphasizing planning before coding to maintain clarity and intentionality.
- Workflow starts with a free-form plan to articulate the problem, solution ideas, constraints, and uncertainties in plain language.
- PRD (Product Requirements Document) is created via AI interview, capturing explicit details like problem statements, user stories, and out-of-scope items.
- Issues are generated from the PRD using vertical slices that are end-to-end and demoable, classified as AFK (AI can implement) or HITL (human intervention needed).
- Tasks are broken down from issues into single-session AI instructions, specifying actions like WRITE, TEST, or MIGRATE in dependency order.
- Implementation uses fresh AI sessions per task to avoid context drift, with REVIEW tasks for human decisions and structured six-pass code reviews.
- Final audit evaluates systemic issues across the feature, ensuring consistency and safety before deployment, with human approval required for changes.
