Instead of feeding long vague prompts to AI, it breaks projects into concrete tasks, design docs, and delta changes that persist across sessions and agents. The workflow involves init, explore, propose, apply, and archive steps. The author demos it on a real project using the Pи AI coding agent and Minimax M3 model, highlighting how proper upfront planning — not just execution — is where engineering value lies in the AI era. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
