I wrote this, where possible I use non llm tooling to assess and llm just writes up the findings. https://github.com/bjcoombs/ai-native-toolkit/tree/main#what...

Yes, I wrote a forge skill to do this via a/b testing and third agent to judge the result. https://github.com/bjcoombs/ai-native-toolkit/blob/main/skil... It hardens a skill throug…

Personally it's well-defined and agentic - just not circulated. /understand - agents interrogate the problem /huddle - Thinking panel turns it into a PRD - attacks the premise, PRD…

Most of my energy is refining a prd these days.

I’ve had similar feelings how can I trust this if I no longer write the code directly. I wrote an /assess tool. I designed it to be token light but assesses on everything I could d…

This is an opportune moment for me to add a story about my dad. He once asked me, "Do you use Facebook?" I don't use Facebook. My colleague Jeff once sent me an invite whether he w…

The political circus is drowning out some pretty clear science here. Let me break this down without the academic jargon: The basic problem: Most studies can't tell the difference b…

This mirrors exactly what we learned from outsourcing over the past two decades. The successful teams weren’t those with the best offshore developers - they were the ones who maste…

While studying well-designed codebases is incredibly valuable, there's an important "tip of the iceberg" effect to consider: much of good software design lives in the "negative spa…
