AI Orchestration Methodology

How I make AI agents reliable contributors to production software: treat orchestration as an engineering discipline, not a prompt trick. This methodology is under active development — as is the toolchain built around it.

The problem

AI coding agents are powerful but stateless. Coordinating them across tools and sessions causes context loss and architectural drift: each session starts from zero, invents its own conventions, and slowly diverges from the system it's supposed to serve. Most workflows lack a durable, structured pipeline for routing instructions in and capturing outputs back.

The framework

  • Persistent rule systems

    Domain-specific rule files act as standing system prompts. Instead of re-explaining architecture every session, agents inherit constraints — coding standards, component patterns, privacy rules — that persist across all work.

  • Truth-stack documentation

    Scope, content models, phased roadmaps, implementation slices, and verification rubrics live as versioned docs the agents treat as authoritative. A future agent can pick up the project without reading any prior conversation.

  • MCP tool integrations

    Model Context Protocol servers give agents real capabilities — Git operations, design-to-code, cloud documentation, browser testing — so a single session can carry work across the full development lifecycle.

  • Structured implementation plans

    Complex features get decomposed into dependency-ordered, agent-executable slices with acceptance criteria and embedded constraints, so no single pass bites off more than it can verify.

  • Context pipelines

    Curated codebase snapshots and unidirectional information flows solve the context-window problem while preserving architectural rules — the right context, at the right time, without drift.

Proof in practice

This website is the working demonstration: it was planned and built end to end by AI agents operating against a truth stack of scoped docs, phased roadmaps, and verification rubrics — with every slice reviewed, verified, and shipped through the same pipeline described here.
