AI-Native Engineering

When to use

Invoke after system-design has approved a design that includes LLM-powered features, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, classifiers, extractors, summarizers, or model-driven automation, and before implementation skills under implementations/ai/* generate vendor-specific code.

Do not use when the product has no meaningful AI surface, when a single stateless prompt call behaves as a standard backend integration, when the system design has not yet decided whether AI is in scope, when the task is implementation-specific orchestration or SDK integration, or when deterministic software satisfies the acceptance criteria.

Inputs

Required:

• Approved system-design.md and the relevant ADRs.
• The AI capability in scope: assistant, agent, classifier, extractor, summarizer, search, recommendation, or workflow automation.
• Primary user task and its acceptance criteria.

Optional:
