Workflows

Having the right tools means nothing without a workflow that uses them well. The biggest difference between someone who gets inconsistent results with AI coding and someone who ships reliably is process — not prompt quality, not model choice, not IDE setup.

Spec Driven Development (SDD) is the workflow I use. It has three stages: plan, execute, verify. The planner breaks requirements into phases and tasks. The executor builds each task with verification at every step. The verifier checks the result against the original spec with empirical evidence, not vibes.

This sounds rigid, but it’s actually freeing. When you have a defined process, you don’t waste energy deciding what to do next. You don’t forget steps. You don’t discover at the end that you built the wrong thing. The workflow handles all of that, so you can focus on the creative decisions.

These guides cover the full workflow: how to plan phases, manage sessions, handle context windows, and maintain project state across conversations.
