What It Looks Like
User: "Add email validation to user registration. Use writing-plans
to create a plan first."
AI: *invokes writing-plans*
*creates comprehensive plan*
"Here's the plan. Ready to execute?"
User: "Approved"
AI: *invokes executing-plans*
*implements with checkpoints*
*invokes verification-before-completion*
"Done. All tests pass. Here's the summary."Common Patterns
- Always starts with planning
- Reviews at checkpoints, not every turn
- Uses skills consistently
- Trusts AI to handle details
- Intervenes only when needed
How to Level Up
The shift
Stop doing one thing at a time.
Practice
- 1.Ask: "Are there independent tasks here?"
- 2.If yes, use dispatching-parallel-agents
- 3.Keep main context clean with subagent-driven-development
- 4.Use async patterns for long-running work
