Context
AI coding agents (OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code) produce inconsistent results without structured specifications. Teams lack a repeatable methodology for breaking down work into AI-executable units.
Approach
Created a 7-stage pipeline where each stage has a defined role, rules, explicit handoff criteria, and output template. Stages progress from high-level Idea through Briefing, PRD, Architecture, UX/UI design, Task breakdown, and final Prompt generation. Designed for tool-agnostic use across any coding agent platform.
Outcome
Released as MIT-licensed open-source methodology. Provides a repeatable framework that reduces ambiguity in AI-assisted development. Used across multiple projects to produce consistent, production-quality code from AI agents.
