SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams complete complex engineering tasks faster and safer by combining agentic implementation with predefined quality gates, eval-driven regression checks, and cost-aware model routing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Eval-first execution loop: Define capability and regression evals, establish failure signatures, implement, then re-run evals to compare deltas.
  • Risk-focused decomposition: Break work into independently verifiable units with clear done conditions using the 15-minute unit rule.
  • Cost-aware model routing: Use smaller models for narrow edits and classification, escalate to stronger models for refactors, and reserve the top tier for architecture and root-cause analysis.
  • Quality and safety review focus: Emphasize invariants, edge cases, error boundaries, security/auth assumptions, and hidden coupling over style-only disagreements.
  • Operational session strategy: Continue sessions for tightly coupled steps, restart after major phases, and compact after milestones rather than mid-debugging.

Quick Start

Tell your AI agent: “Plan an agentic engineering workflow for my feature, decompose it into 15-minute verifiable units, route tasks by model tier, and run evals/regressions before and after implementation.”

FAQPage Schema
What is eval-first agentic engineering and how does it manage AI implementation tasks?

Eval-first agentic engineering is an execution strategy that defines capability and regression evals, establishes failure signatures, implements features, and re-runs evals to compare deltas for safe AI-driven development.

How do I decompose complex development tasks for an AI agent to execute safely?

You decompose complex tasks using the 15-minute unit rule, breaking work into independently verifiable units with predefined completion conditions to ensure tightly coupled steps are verifiable and safe.

Can I route AI coding tasks to different model tiers based on complexity to control costs?

Yes, cost-aware model routing uses smaller models for narrow edits and classification, escalates to stronger models for refactors, and reserves the top tier for architecture and root-cause analysis.

What is the best way to run regression checks when using AI for feature implementation?

The best way is capturing baseline failure signatures before implementation, then re-running capability and regression evals afterward to compare deltas and ensure no regressions are introduced.

When should I restart or compact an AI agent session during a multi-step engineering workflow?

You should continue sessions for tightly coupled steps, restart after major phases, and compact contexts after milestones to avoid losing reasoning state during active debugging.

How does secure code review work with eval-driven AI development workflows?

Secure code review in eval-driven workflows emphasizes checking invariants, edge cases, error boundaries, security/auth assumptions, and hidden coupling rather than focusing solely on style disagreements.
