How to Ship AI Agents Without Touching Your Keyboard
The age of coding-optional software development is here. But most teams are doing it wrong.
The Problem
Most engineers treat AI coding assistants like autocomplete on steroids. They type, the AI suggests, they accept or reject. This is leaving 90% of the value on the table.
The 2-File System
After shipping dozens of AI-assisted projects, we've refined a system that turns Claude, GPT-4, and other LLMs into reliable junior engineers:
File 1: PROJECT_BRIEF.md
This is your source of truth. It contains:
File 2: CURRENT_TASK.md
This is your working document. It contains:
The Workflow
1. Start with the brief - Feed PROJECT_BRIEF.md to your AI assistant at the start of every session
2. Define the task - Write a clear CURRENT_TASK.md with specific acceptance criteria
3. Let it cook - The AI generates code based on full context
4. Review, don't rewrite - Your job is to review and guide, not write from scratch
Results

Get Started
The key insight: treat AI like a junior engineer who needs clear instructions but can execute flawlessly. The better your brief, the better the output.
