Steering the Vibe
Each post in this series removes a bottleneck in working with AI code-assist: code quality, permission prompts, context windows, PR review and parallel work, until the only bottleneck left is you, defining the work.
-
Commits
Use deterministic scripts to enforce commit message rules that prompts alone can't guarantee, reducing cognitive load when working across multiple projects.
-
Verify
Using deterministic verification scripts to steer AI code-assist tools toward more maintainable code.
-
Refactor
Using automated refactoring checks to keep files small and maintainable when working with AI code assistants.
-
Address Comments
Leveraging AI code-assist tools to streamline PR review comment workflows
-
Complexity
Using maintainability index thresholds to automatically refactor LLM generated code
-
Permissions
Refining Claude Code's permissioning approach to reduce prompts and speed up the workflow.
-
Orchestration
Orchestrating non-deterministic agents deterministically through nested loops - Agent, Verify, Context Window, and Work.
-
Worktrees
Running agents in parallel with automatic worktree creation and reaping, environment initialization, and per-repo configuration.
-
Adversarial Review
Cutting the slop out of automated PR review by running multiple agents in parallel and synthesizing their findings into fewer, higher-value comments.
