AI-First Engineering

Use this skill when designing process, reviews, and architecture for teams shipping with AI-assisted code generation.

Process Shifts

1. Planning quality matters more than typing speed.
2. Eval coverage matters more than anecdotal confidence.
3. Review focus shifts from syntax to system behavior.

Architecture Requirements

Prefer architectures that are agent-friendly:

• explicit boundaries
• stable contracts
• typed interfaces
• deterministic tests

Avoid implicit behavior spread across hidden conventions.
