SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides guidance on adapting engineering processes, architecture, and reviews for teams where AI agents generate a significant portion of the implementation output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Process Design: Reimagines planning, review, and testing for AI-assisted development.
  • Architecture Guidance: Recommends agent-friendly architectural patterns.
  • Hiring & Evaluation: Identifies key signals for AI-first engineers.
  • Use Case: A CTO is establishing a new engineering team that will heavily leverage AI for code generation and needs to define the optimal operating model, including how code reviews will function and what architectural principles to prioritize.

Quick Start

Use the ai-first-engineering skill to understand the process shifts required for AI-first development.

FAQPage Schema
What is an AI-first engineering operating model?▼

It reimagines planning, review, and testing workflows for teams where AI agents generate significant implementation output, optimizing processes around explicit boundaries, stable contracts, and deterministic tests.

How do I adapt code reviews for AI-generated code?▼

Shift code review focus to verify explicit boundaries, stable contracts, and typed interfaces rather than line-by-line scrutiny, ensuring AI-generated implementations meet deterministic testing standards.

What architectural patterns work best for AI agents in software development?▼

Prioritize architectural patterns that establish explicit boundaries, stable contracts, and typed interfaces, enabling AI agents to generate implementation output reliably without breaking downstream dependencies.

What should I look for when hiring engineers for an AI-first development team?▼

Identify signals that engineers can define stable contracts, manage typed interfaces, and establish deterministic tests, focusing on their ability to guide AI agents rather than manually writing implementation code.

How do I set up testing standards for AI-generated implementation output?▼

Establish testing standards that prioritize deterministic tests to verify AI-generated output against stable contracts and typed interfaces, ensuring reliable functionality within explicit architectural boundaries.
