How I Tamed Chaotic AI Coding with Simple Workflow Commands
You know what’s absolutely maddening about working with AI coding agents? They’re brilliant one moment, then completely fucking chaotic the next. They’ll write perfect code for your database layer, then completely forget about it three prompts later when you’re working on the API. They jump from task to task like rabbits on crack, losing context and making decisions that seem smart in isolation but are completely insane when you look at the bigger picture.
Here’s the thing: if you’re like most developers, you’ve probably tried to wrangle AI agents with existing tools, and you’ve probably been disappointed. Maybe you’ve used Jira or Linear to track what the AI should work on, or tried some of the newer AI-specific task management tools. The problem is that most of these tools either don’t work well with AI agents, or the ones that do provide workflows that just don’t fit how I actually think about building software.
So I built my own workflow system, and that’s what I want to share with you today. This is the complete system I use to keep both myself and my AI agent on track from the initial idea all the way through to merging code into production. No more chaotic context switching. No more forgotten requirements. Just a systematic approach that actually works for me.
I’m going to walk you through every step of developing a real feature using my workflow, and show you exactly how this prevents the chaos and keeps everything organized. By the end of this video, you’ll understand my system for AI-assisted development, and you can adapt it to fit your own needs.
Setup
All prompts I’ll show are available through DevOps AI Toolkit MCP. Alternatively, you can copy them from shared-prompts.
If you would like to reproduce the steps in this post, you’ll need to setup the DevOps AI Toolkit MCP in one of your repositories.
We’re using Claude Code in this post, but the same process should work with any coding agent that supports MCP Prompts.
claudeAI Development Workflow
My entire development process revolves around Product Requirements Documents, or PRDs. Now, you might call them user stories, feature specs, requirements docs, or whatever terminology your team prefers. The format doesn’t matter. What matters is that they all describe, in some structured way, what needs to be built and why.
Here’s the thing: I need a workflow that forces me to do the right thing at the right time during development. And if I, as a chaotic human developer, need that kind of structure, then AI coding agents need it even more. If I’m chaotic, AI models are absolutely fucking anarchic. They’ll jump from task to task, forget context, and make decisions that seem brilliant in isolation but are completely insane when you look at the bigger picture.
Now, I could use existing tools for managing this kind of workflow, but honestly, none of them worked for me.
Sure, there are plenty of options. You’ve got the traditional project management tools like Jira, Linear, Notion, and GitHub Projects. Then there are newer tools specifically designed for AI workflows like Taskmaster, Aider’s task management, and a few other MCP-enabled task managers that plug directly into coding agents. The problem is, they’re all missing something I need, or they approach the workflow in the wrong order, or they just don’t fit the way I actually work with AI. Some are too rigid, others are too loose, and most of them assume a development process that doesn’t match how I think about building software.
So I built my own solution. I created prompts for each step of my development workflow and serve them through an MCP server. This way, my AI coding agents have access to structured, guided workflows right inside the development environment. No context switching, no external tools to manage, just the right prompt at the right time to keep both me and the AI on track.
*By the way, if you want to learn more about serving prompts through MCP, check out the Stop Wasting Time: Turn AI Prompts and Context Into Production Code video.
Now, let me share this workflow with you and show you exactly how it works. I’ll walk through each of the commands and explain what they do and how they work together to create a structured development process that actually makes sense.
Let’s start by exploring what commands are available. I’ll type /prd to see all the PRD-related prompts.
[user]
> /prd[agent]
/dot-ai:prd-create (MCP) Create documentation-first PRDs that guide development through user-facing content
/dot-ai:prd-done (MCP) Complete PRD implementation workflow - create branch, push changes, create PR, merge, and close issue
/dot-ai:prd-next (MCP) Analyze existing PRD to identify and recommend the single highest-priority task to work on next
/dot-ai:prd-start (MCP) Start working on a PRD implementation
/dot-ai:prd-update-decisions (MCP) Update PRD based on design decisions and strategic changes made during conversations
/dot-ai:prd-update-progress (MCP) Update PRD progress based on git commits and code changes, enhanced by conversation context
/dot-ai:prds-get (MCP) Fetch all open GitHub issues from this project that have the 'PRD' labelPerfect! Here you can see all seven commands that make up my PRD workflow. Each one handles a specific stage of the development process. We have prd-create for starting new features, prds-get for seeing what’s available to work on, prd-start for beginning implementation, prd-next for figuring out what to do next, prd-update-progress and prd-update-decisions for keeping everything in sync, and finally prd-done for wrapping up and shipping the feature.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. I’m going to walk you through each of these commands using a real feature development process, and you’ll see some surprising moments where the AI shows just how powerful this structured approach really is. Let’s start with prd-create since that’s where every new feature begins.
Create PRDs with AI
Let’s start with prd-create, the command that begins every new feature in my workflow. This isn’t just about writing documentation. This is about creating a structured plan that guides both human developers and AI agents through the entire development process.
What makes prd-create powerful is that it doesn’t just ask you to describe what you want to build. It actually analyzes your existing codebase, researches the best implementation approaches, and creates comprehensive documentation with milestones, technical architecture, and implementation strategies. It’s like having an experienced technical lead who does all the upfront research and planning for you.
Here’s something crucial about working with AI agents: there are two distinct phases in any complex task. There’s planning and there’s execution. For planning, you want the most capable model available because that’s where the critical thinking happens. For execution, you can often get away with less capable and cheaper models.
Claude Code gives us access to different models, so let me select the one that fits our needs for PRD creation.
[user]
> /model[agent]
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ │
│ Select Model │
│ Switch between Claude models. Applies to this session and future Claude Code sessions. │
│ For custom model names, specify with --model. │
│ │
│ 1. Default (recommended) Use the default model (currently Sonnet 4) ... │
│ 2. Opus Opus 4.1 for complex tasks · $15/$75 per Mtok │
│ ❯ 3. Opus Plan Mode Use Opus 4.1 in plan mode, Sonnet 4 otherwise │
│ │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯Perfect! You can see I’m selecting “Opus Plan Mode”. This is brilliant because it uses Opus for planning phases where we need deep reasoning and analysis, then automatically switches to Sonnet for execution tasks where we’re just following the plan. This gives us the best of both worlds: smart planning with the most capable model, and cost-effective execution with a cheaper one.
Other AI agents might not have this automated switching, but the principle remains the same. Use your most capable models for planning, then switch to cheaper ones for execution.
Since we’re about to create a PRD, and that requires deep thinking and planning, I’ll switch to plan mode.
Press
shift+tabuntilplan mode onis selected.
Now let’s create a PRD and see how this whole process works.
[user]
> /prd-create[agent]
⏺ I'll help you create a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a new feature.
Let me start by understanding what you want to build.
Step 1: Feature Concept
What feature would you like to create a PRD for? Please describe:
1. The problem you're trying to solve
2. The proposed solution or feature idea
3. Who will benefit from this feature (target users)
4. Any initial scope or constraints you have in mind
Once you provide the feature concept, I'll:
- Create a GitHub issue to get the tracking ID
- Analyze your existing documentation structure
- Create a comprehensive PRD with proper milestone tracking
- Update all relevant documentation files with the new feature information
What feature would you like to document?Look at this! The AI immediately understands that creating a PRD is a structured process. It’s asking for the essential information: the problem, the solution, the target users, and any constraints. It’s also telling me exactly what it plans to do next: create a GitHub issue, analyze the existing documentation, and build a comprehensive plan.
This is what I mean by structured workflow. The AI isn’t just going to write some documentation and hope for the best. It has a clear process.
Now I’ll give it my feature request. I want to add multi-model support to the MCP server I’m working on, which means moving away from being locked into just Anthropic’s models.

But I’m not going to just accept whatever it suggests. I want to challenge its decision-making and make sure it chose the right approach.
[user]
> Can you tell me which options I have and pros and cons of each? I'd like to ensure that Vercel (the one you selected) is indeed the best choice.[agent]
⏺ Based on my research, here are the main options for implementing multi-model AI support in
your TypeScript project:
Option 1: Vercel AI SDK
Pros:
- Unified API: Single interface for all providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
- TypeScript-first: Built specifically for TypeScript with excellent type safety
- Active development: Regular updates (v5 released recently with speech support)
- Framework agnostic: Works with Node.js, React, Vue, Svelte
- Minimal abstraction: Clean, straightforward API without heavy layers
- Industry adoption: 2M+ weekly downloads, trusted by major companies
- Built-in streaming: First-class support for streaming responses
- Provider flexibility: Switch providers with one line change
Cons:
- Newer ecosystem: Less established than LangChain
- Limited advanced features: Fewer built-in agents/chains compared to LangChain
- Vercel-centric: While open-source, primarily developed by Vercel
Option 2: LangChain.js
Pros:
- Feature-rich: Comprehensive agents, chains, RAG, memory systems
- Large ecosystem: Extensive community, plugins, integrations
- Battle-tested: Used in production by many companies
- Advanced capabilities: Complex workflows, graph-based agents (LangGraph)
- Multi-language: Python and JS versions with similar APIs
Cons:
- Heavy abstraction: Multiple layers can make customization difficult
- Complexity: Steeper learning curve for simple use cases
- Performance overhead: More abstractions = potential performance impact
- Developer friction: Some report difficulty modifying default behaviors
- Breaking changes: History of API changes between versions
Option 3: Direct Provider SDKs with Custom Abstraction
Pros:
- Full control: Complete flexibility over implementation
- No dependencies: Minimal external dependencies
- Optimized: Can optimize for your specific use cases
- Learning opportunity: Deep understanding of each provider's API
Cons:
- Maintenance burden: You maintain all provider integrations
- Time investment: Significant development time required
- No standardization: Must handle provider differences yourself
- Missing features: Need to implement streaming, retries, etc. yourself
Option 4: Mastra
Pros:
- MCP support: Native Model Context Protocol server support
- Workflow engine: Built-in durable workflows with state machines
- Multi-provider: Supports GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama
- Agent-focused: Designed specifically for building AI agents
- Observability: Built-in monitoring and tracing
Cons:
- Very new: Less mature, smaller community
- Limited documentation: Fewer examples and guides
- Uncertain future: Long-term viability unknown
- Feature gaps: May lack specific features you need
Recommendation Analysis
For your DevOps AI Toolkit project, considering:
1. Current state: You already have a working Claude integration
2. Project focus: Kubernetes deployments and recommendations
3. Requirements: Need to support multiple providers without major refactoring
4. MCP integration: Already using MCP server interface
My revised recommendation: Vercel AI SDK remains the best choice because:
1. Minimal refactoring: Your current ClaudeIntegration class maps cleanly to Vercel's API
2. TypeScript alignment: Your project is TypeScript-first, matching Vercel AI SDK's design
3. Simple use case: You primarily need text generation, not complex agents/chains
4. Clean migration path: Can wrap Vercel AI SDK in your existing interface
5. Future-proof: Active development with regular updates
6. MCP compatibility: Works well alongside your existing MCP server
Second choice: If you need more advanced features later, you could consider LangChain.js,
but it would be overkill for your current needs and require more significant refactoring.
Would you like me to proceed with the Vercel AI SDK approach, or would you prefer to explore
one of the other options in more detail?The AI did exactly what I wanted: it provided a comprehensive analysis of the options with clear pros and cons. After reviewing the analysis, Vercel AI SDK is indeed the right choice for this use case. The reasoning is solid.

│ │ │ │
│ │ **Status**: ✅ Active Development │ │
│ │ **Priority**: High │ │
│ │ **GitHub Issue**: [#73](https://github.com/vfarcic/dot-ai/issues/73) │ │
│ │ **Created**: 2024-08-20 │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ## Executive Summary │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ The DevOps AI Toolkit currently supports only Anthropic Claude models for AI-powered │ │
│ │ Kubernetes deployment recommendations. This PRD outlines the implementation of a │ │
│ │ provider-agnostic AI system using Vercel AI SDK, enabling support for multiple AI │ │
│ │ providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) while maintaining backward compatibility. │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Problem Statement │ │
│ │ - **Vendor lock-in**: Limited to Anthropic Claude models only │ │
│ │ - **Cost constraints**: No flexibility to choose providers based on pricing │ │
│ │ - **Regional limitations**: Some providers may not be available in all regions │ │
│ │ - **Performance optimization**: Unable to select models based on specific use cases │ │
│ │ - **Fallback limitations**: No redundancy if Anthropic services are unavailable │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Solution Overview │ │
│ │ Replace the current `ClaudeIntegration` class with a new `AIProvider` abstraction │ │
│ │ powered by Vercel AI SDK, supporting multiple providers through a unified interface │ │
│ │ while maintaining all existing functionality. │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ## Technical Architecture │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Current State Analysis │ │
│ │ - **File**: `src/core/claude.ts` - Direct Anthropic SDK integration │ │
│ │ - **Usage**: 18 files depend on `ClaudeIntegration` class │ │
│ │ - **Methods**: `sendMessage()`, `generateYAML()`, `analyzeIntentForClarification()`... │ │
│ │ - **Environment**: Requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Target Architecture │ │
│ │ // New abstraction layer │ │
│ │ class AIProvider { │ │
│ │ // Vercel AI SDK integration │ │
│ │ // Support for multiple providers │ │
│ │ // Unified interface matching current ClaudeIntegration │ │
│ │ } │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ // Provider configurations │ │
│ │ providers: { │ │
│ │ anthropic: claude-3-sonnet-4, │ │
│ │ openai: gpt-4o, │ │
│ │ google: gemini-1.5-pro │ │
│ │ } │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Provider Support Matrix │ │
│ │ | Provider | Models | Environment Variable | Status | │ │
│ │ |----------|--------|---------------------|---------| │ │
│ │ | Anthropic | Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | ✅ Existing | │ │
│ │ | OpenAI | GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-3.5 | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | 🔄 New | │ │
│ │ | Google | Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini Pro | `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | 🔄 New | │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ## Implementation Plan │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Dependencies │ │
│ │ - `@ai-sdk/openai`: OpenAI provider integration │ │
│ │ - `@ai-sdk/anthropic`: Anthropic provider integration │ │
│ │ - `@ai-sdk/google`: Google Gemini provider integration │ │
│ │ - `ai`: Core Vercel AI SDK │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Configuration System │ │
│ │ │ │ interface AIConfig { │ │
│ │ provider: 'anthropic' | 'openai' | 'google'; │ │
│ │ model?: string; │ │
│ │ fallbackProvider?: string; │ │
│ │ maxRetries?: number; │ │
│ │ } │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ ### Backward Compatibility Strategy │ │
│ │ 1. **Phase 1**: Implement new `AIProvider` alongside existing `ClaudeIntegration` │ │
│ │ 2. **Phase 2**: Create wrapper to maintain existing interface │ │
│ │ 3. **Phase 3**: Gradual migration of tools to use new provider │ │

106 **For shared prompts library:**Here’s something important to understand about my PRD workflow: the AI started implementing that PRD right away, but that’s often not what I want. More often than not, I create PRDs the moment an idea pops up in my head or when I discover an issue that needs fixing.
For me, PRDs serve as an idea capture and planning system, not necessarily the immediate start of work. They’re my way of keeping track of everything I should do, prioritizing features, and having a clear roadmap ready when I’m actually ready to begin development. Sometimes I create several PRDs in a day just to capture thoughts and requirements, then work on them weeks or months later when priorities align.
So I’ll stop the AI here and tell it to hold off on the implementation.

⏺ Perfect! I've successfully completed the PRD creation process for multi-model AI provider
support:
✅ Created GitHub Issue #73: "PRD: Multi-Model AI Provider Support" with proper labeling
✅ Created PRD File: prds/73-multi-model-ai-provider-support.md with comprehensive technical
details
✅ Updated GitHub Issue: Added link to the detailed PRD file
The PRD includes:
- Technical Analysis: Current Claude-only implementation and proposed Vercel AI SDK approach
- 7 Major Milestones: From core architecture to full deployment
- Provider Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini with unified interface
- Backward Compatibility: Maintains existing ClaudeIntegration interface
- Implementation Strategy: Phased approach with minimal disruption
The PRD is now ready to guide the actual implementation work when you decide to tackle this
feature. It provides a clear roadmap for replacing the current Claude-only system with a
flexible multi-provider solution.Perfect! The AI successfully created a comprehensive PRD with GitHub issue tracking. Now I’ll push these changes to the repository.

The PRD is ready to guide the implementation when you decide to work on adding multi-model
support to the DevOps AI Toolkit.Perfect! That’s the complete prd-create workflow in action. We went from a simple idea to a comprehensive technical document with GitHub tracking, all while maintaining control over the process. The AI did exactly what I designed it to do: deep analysis, research, structured planning, and professional documentation.
Now, here’s something important to understand: even though this PRD is very detailed and should contain everything needed to work on that feature, we will almost inevitably realize that it’s wrong as we progress through implementation. Requirements will change, we’ll discover better approaches, or we’ll hit technical constraints we didn’t anticipate. And that’s actually okay - we’ll see later in the workflow why having a “wrong” but structured plan is still infinitely better than having no plan at all.
Stop the execution of the prompt.
Now let’s look at the next command: prds-get.
Find Active PRDs
Now we come to prds-get, which solves a problem every developer faces: decision paralysis. When you have dozens of PRDs sitting in your backlog, how do you decide what to work on next? You could spend hours reading through them, trying to remember their priorities and dependencies, or you could let the AI do the analysis for you.
What makes prds-get powerful is that it doesn’t just list your PRDs. It analyzes them intelligently, categorizes them by purpose and impact, evaluates dependencies, assesses priorities, and then gives you strategic recommendations about what to focus on. It’s like having a technical lead who understands your entire project portfolio and can guide your decision-making.
Again, I want to use the most capable model for this analysis, so I’ll switch to plan mode.

╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯This is exactly what I mean by intelligent analysis. The AI didn’t just dump a list of 25 PRDs and leave me to figure it out. It categorized them by purpose, analyzed priorities, identified dependencies, and gave me strategic recommendations. It’s telling me that PRDs #74 and #73 are the most recent and highest priority, that #38 is foundational for many AI features, and that #58 addresses critical bugs.
This kind of analysis would take me hours to do manually, and I’d probably miss important connections between PRDs. The AI does it in seconds and gives me actionable insights.
Now that I know what PRDs are available and have strategic guidance, let’s look at prd-start - the command that begins actual implementation work.
Start PRD Implementation
Now we get to the exciting part: prd-start. This is where ideas become reality. After creating PRDs and analyzing what’s available, prd-start is the command that turns a selected PRD into actual running code.
What makes prd-start different from just reading a document and starting to code is its intelligence. It doesn’t just look at the PRD. It reads the entire document, analyzes your existing codebase to understand the current architecture, identifies integration points, validates that dependencies are available, and then creates a comprehensive implementation plan with phases, success criteria, and specific next steps.
This isn’t about blind code generation. It’s about intelligent implementation planning that understands both what you want to build and how it fits into what you already have.
I’m going to start implementation of PRD #74, which was one of the highest-priority items from our analysis. This PRD is about adding pattern-driven policy generation to automatically create Kyverno deny policies from organizational patterns.

│ ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │
│ │ Dot-AI Codebase Analysis: Current Implementation for PRD 74 │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Based on my comprehensive analysis of the dot-ai codebase, here's what I found │ │
│ │ regarding the current implementation that PRD 74 (Pattern-Driven Policy Generation) │ │
│ │ will extend: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Pattern Management Implementation │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Key Files and Purposes: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/tools/organizational-data.ts - Main MCP tool │ │
│ │ handling all organizational data operations (patterns and capabilities) │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/pattern-vector-service.ts - Vector DB │ │
│ │ operations for pattern storage/retrieval │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/pattern-operations.ts - Basic pattern │ │
│ │ validation and creation operations │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/pattern-types.ts - TypeScript interfaces for │ │
│ │ pattern data structures │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/pattern-creation-session.ts - Step-by-step │ │
│ │ workflow for pattern creation │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Current Implementation Patterns: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Unified Tool Architecture: The manageOrgData tool handles both patterns and │ │
│ │ capabilities via dataType parameter │ │
│ │ 2. Vector DB Integration: Patterns stored in Qdrant with semantic search via OpenAI │ │
│ │ embeddings │ │
│ │ 3. Session-Based Workflows: Multi-step guided pattern creation with file-based session │ │
│ │ persistence │ │
│ │ 4. Validation Pipeline: Pattern validation with required fields (description, triggers, │ │
│ │ resources, rationale, creator) │ │
│ │ 5. MCP Response Format: Standardized JSON responses wrapped in MCP content format │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 2. Capability Search and Resource Discovery │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Key Files and Purposes: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/capabilities.ts - AI-powered capability │ │
│ │ inference engine │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/capability-vector-service.ts - Vector │ │
│ │ storage for resource capabilities │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/discovery.ts - Kubernetes cluster resource │ │
│ │ discovery and connection │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/prompts/capability-inference.md - AI prompt for │ │
│ │ analyzing resource capabilities │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Current Implementation Patterns: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Semantic Search: Uses Vector DB + embeddings for finding relevant capabilities by │ │
│ │ user intent │ │
│ │ 2. AI Analysis: Analyzes Kubernetes resources to extract capabilities, providers, │ │
│ │ complexity, and use cases │ │
│ │ 3. Two-Phase Discovery: Discovers cluster resources first, then analyzes each for │ │
│ │ capabilities │ │
│ │ 4. Confidence Scoring: Results include confidence scores for filtering relevance │ │
│ │ 5. Schema Integration: Uses explainResource() to get complete resource definitions for │ │
│ │ analysis │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 3. Schema Validation and Resource Analysis │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Key Files and Purposes: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/schema.ts - Resource schema parsing, │ │
│ │ validation, and AI-powered recommendations │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/core/discovery.ts - Contains explainResource() │ │
│ │ implementation for kubectl schema access │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Current Implementation: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Schema Parsing: Converts kubectl explain output to structured ResourceSchema objects │ │
│ │ 2. Field Validation: Validates resource field existence and constraints │ │
│ │ 3. AI Integration: Uses patterns + capabilities for enhanced resource recommendations │ │
│ │ 4. Manifest Validation: kubectl dry-run validation for generated manifests │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 4. Version Tool and System Status │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Key Files: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/src/tools/version.ts - Comprehensive system... │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Current Capabilities: │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Vector DB connection status │ │
│ │ - Embedding service status │ │
│ │ - Anthropic API connectivity │ │
│ │ - Kubernetes cluster connectivity │ │
│ │ - Capability system readiness │ │
│ │ - Pattern management health checks │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Integration Point for PRD 74: This is where Kyverno detection should be added. │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 5. No Existing Kyverno Code │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Finding: No Kyverno-specific code exists in the current implementation. The grep search │ │
│ │ shows Kyverno is only mentioned in: │ │
│ │ - PRD documents (PRD #6 and PRD #74) │ │
│ │ - Git commit messages │ │
│ │ - No actual implementation exists │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Integration Points for PRD 74 │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Pattern Management Extension │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - File: organizational-data.ts │ │
│ │ - Integration: Add policy generation option during pattern creation workflow │ │
│ │ - Pattern: Follow existing session-based approach with new steps for policy generation │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 2. Capability Search for Resource Discovery │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Files: capabilities.ts, capability-vector-service.ts │ │
│ │ - Integration: Use existing semantic search to find resources applicable to │ │
│ │ pattern-based policies │ │
│ │ - Pattern: Leverage existing confidence scoring (>0.7) to filter relevant resources │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 3. Schema Validation for Policy Fields │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - File: schema.ts + discovery.ts │ │
│ │ - Integration: Use existing explainResource() to validate that policy fields exist in │ │
│ │ resource schemas │ │
│ │ - Pattern: Extend existing field validation logic for policy generation │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 4. Version Tool for Kyverno Detection │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - File: version.ts │ │
│ │ - Integration: Add Kyverno detection alongside existing system checks │ │
│ │ - Pattern: Follow existing pattern of parallel system diagnostics │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 5. AI Prompt System │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Directory: /Users/viktorfarcic/code/dot-ai/prompts/ │ │
│ │ - Integration: Create new prompt template for pattern-to-policy analysis │ │
│ │ - Pattern: Follow existing file-based prompt loading pattern with template variables │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Potential Challenges and Considerations │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Architectural Consistency │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Current system is well-architected with clear separation of concerns │ │
│ │ - PRD 74 needs to follow established patterns (session management, MCP responses, │ │
│ │ Vector DB integration) │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 2. Error Handling │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Existing code has sophisticated error classification and user-friendly messages │ │
│ │ - Kyverno failures need similar treatment │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 3. Vector DB Dependencies │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Pattern and capability systems both depend on Qdrant + OpenAI embeddings │ │
│ │ - Policy generation will inherit these same dependencies │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 4. Session Management Complexity │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Current pattern creation uses 7-step workflow with file-based persistence │ │
│ │ - Adding policy generation will require extending this workflow │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 5. Testing Requirements │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Codebase has comprehensive test coverage (349+ tests mentioned in CLAUDE.md) │ │
│ │ - PRD 74 implementation must include thorough testing │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Recommended Implementation Approach │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Start with Version Tool: Add Kyverno detection as specified in Phase 1 │ │
│ │ 2. Extend Pattern Workflow: Add policy generation steps to existing session management │ │
│ │ 3. Reuse Existing Components: Leverage capability search, schema validation, and AI │ │
│ │ integration │ │
│ │ 4. Follow Established Patterns: Use existing file-based prompts, MCP response format, │ │

│ Ready to code? │
│ │
│ Here is Claude's plan: │
│ ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │
│ │ 🚀 Starting Implementation: PRD #74 Pattern-Driven Policy Generation System │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ PRD Readiness Validation ✅ │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ PRD Status: Ready for implementation │ │
│ │ - ✅ All functional requirements clearly defined │ │
│ │ - ✅ Success criteria measurable │ │
│ │ - ✅ Dependencies identified and available │ │
│ │ - ✅ Comprehensive technical architecture documented │ │
│ │ - ✅ Implementation phases well-structured │ │
│ │ - ✅ Integration points with existing systems specified │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Selected First Task: Phase 1 - Kyverno Detection Integration │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Why this task first: │ │
│ │ - Establishes foundation for all policy operations │ │
│ │ - No blocking dependencies │ │
│ │ - Provides immediate value by detecting system readiness │ │
│ │ - Creates early feedback loop for users │ │
│ │ - Low risk, high validation potential │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ What you'll build: │ │
│ │ - Extend the version tool with Kyverno detection and status reporting │ │
│ │ - Add Kyverno version compatibility checking │ │
│ │ - Implement user-friendly error messages when Kyverno is missing │ │
│ │ - Add system status checks for policy generation readiness │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Success criteria: │ │
│ │ - Version tool reports Kyverno installation status clearly │ │
│ │ - Users get helpful error messages with documentation links when Kyverno is missing │ │
│ │ - System gracefully handles missing Kyverno during pattern operations │ │
│ │ - All existing version tool functionality remains intact │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Estimated effort: 2-3 hours │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Next steps after this: Phase 2 implementation becomes possible - AI analysis and policy │ │
│ │ generation pipeline │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Implementation Approach │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ 1. Extend Version Tool (src/tools/version.ts): │ │
│ │ - Add Kyverno detection alongside existing system checks │ │
│ │ - Use kubectl to detect Kyverno CRDs and webhook │ │
│ │ - Check Kyverno version and compatibility │ │
│ │ - Follow existing parallel diagnostics pattern │ │
│ │ 2. Error Handling Enhancement: │ │
│ │ - Add user-friendly messages for missing Kyverno │ │
│ │ - Include links to Kyverno installation documentation │ │
│ │ - Graceful degradation when Kyverno unavailable │ │
│ │ 3. Testing: │ │
│ │ - Write comprehensive tests following existing patterns │ │
│ │ - Mock kubectl interactions for Kyverno detection │ │
│ │ - Test both present and missing Kyverno scenarios │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Git Branch Setup │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ - Create feature branch: feature/prd-74-pattern-driven-policy-generation │ │
│ │ - Set up proper tracking for PRD implementation │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ Ready to Start? │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ The implementation will follow existing codebase patterns and integrate seamlessly with │ │
│ │ current architecture. │ │

╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯Now this is impressive. The AI created a complete implementation plan with phases, success criteria, effort estimates, and specific next steps. It identified that Phase 1 (Kyverno detection) should come first because it has no dependencies and provides immediate value. This isn’t random coding - this is strategic implementation planning.

⏺ 🎉 Phase 1 Successfully Completed!
PRD #74 Phase 1: Kyverno Detection and System Integration is now complete and
committed with:
✅ All Success Criteria Met:
- Version tool reports Kyverno status clearly
- Users get helpful error messages when Kyverno is missing
- System gracefully handles missing Kyverno during pattern operations
- Complete test coverage with 29 passing tests
- Manual testing confirmed working correctly
✅ Foundation Ready: The system now has robust Kyverno detection that will
enable Phase 2 (AI Analysis and Policy Generation) to build upon.
Next Steps: Ready to proceed with Phase 2 implementation:
- Create AI prompt template for deny rule analysis
- Implement semantic resource discovery using capability search
- Build schema validation pipeline using existing explainResource
- Create Kyverno policy generation with field validation
Should I proceed with Phase 2 implementation now?The AI is eager to continue working and jump straight into Phase 2, but we’re going to stop it because we need to give it some special instructions first.
Why? Because there’s something crucial we need to do before moving forward. We need to update our progress in the PRD. Remember, this isn’t just about getting the work done - it’s about maintaining that structured approach that keeps both me and the AI on track. You’ll see exactly why this step is so important in just a moment.
Track Development Progress
Before moving to the next phase, I need to update the PRD with our progress. This is where the magic happens - and why I insisted on stopping the AI earlier. The /prd-update-progress command doesn’t just update checkboxes. It analyzes what was actually accomplished, provides evidence of completion, and maintains a detailed work log.
This is what keeps large projects organized and prevents that horrible feeling of “what did we do last week?” Watch how it analyzes the completed work and updates our PRD intelligently.

Recommendation: Mark Phase 1 implementation and success criteria as complete,
add work log entry, and maintain all remaining items as unchecked until actual
implementation evidence exists.
Should I proceed with updating the PRD file with these completed items?This is exactly what I was talking about! Look at the detail in this analysis. The AI didn’t just say “Phase 1 is done.” It provided evidence for each completed item, analyzed the quality of the implementation, calculated exact progress percentages, and even created a comprehensive work log entry.
This level of documentation is what makes the difference between projects that succeed and projects that fall apart. The AI is asking permission to update the actual PRD file with all this evidence-based progress.

foundation needed for the upcoming AI analysis and policy generation features.This is the real power of keeping PRDs up to date. We’re recording all the relevant information about the tasks we performed and the changes we made. That way, we don’t have to rely on limited and fragile context, or worry about what happens if we lose it altogether. We can start work on the next task in a completely clear context.
Speaking of which, let me show you what happens when we start fresh with a new session.

/clearAI Task Prioritization
Now here’s where things get really interesting. I’m starting a completely fresh session. The AI has no idea what we worked on, no memory of our previous conversation, no context about what was accomplished. Hell, it doesn’t even know which PRD we’re working on.
Yet, as we’ll see, it will figure it all out without us telling it anything. The /prd-next command is about to demonstrate something remarkable - how proper project structure enables the AI to become instantly productive, even starting from absolute zero knowledge.
Watch what happens next. The AI is going to piece together the current state by examining multiple sources - the git history, the current branch, the PRD documentation, and the codebase itself. It’s like a detective gathering clues to understand exactly where we left off.

⎿ Read 400 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Next Task Recommendation: Pattern-Driven Policy Generation System
Recommended Task: Create AI Prompt Template for Pattern Analysis
Why this task: Phase 1 is complete with Kyverno detection integrated. The next
logical step is Phase 2's first item: creating the AI prompt template that
analyzes patterns to identify enforceable deny rules. This is the foundation for
the entire policy generation pipeline and blocks all other Phase 2 work.
What it unlocks: Once we can analyze patterns for deny rules, we can proceed
with semantic resource discovery, schema validation, and policy generation. This
is the critical path item that enables the core functionality.
Dependencies: All Phase 1 items are complete - Kyverno detection, version
compatibility checking, and system status integration are all implemented and
tested.
Effort estimate: 2-3 hours (prompt design, template creation, initial testing
with pattern examples)
Success criteria: AI prompt template that can accurately identify deny rules in
patterns, with clear output format for downstream processing, stored in the
prompts/ directory following project conventions.

Do you want to work on this task?
If yes, I'll help you design the implementation approach for the pattern
analysis prompt template. If no, let me know what you'd prefer to work on
instead.Perfect! The AI just figured out everything it needed to know. Starting from zero knowledge, it identified which PRD we’re working on, analyzed the current progress, determined that Phase 1 is complete, and intelligently recommended the exact next task that makes sense. It even provided a clear rationale, effort estimate, and success criteria.
This is what I mean by having an intelligent project manager. No handholding required.
[user]
> Yes[agent]
⏺ Great! Let's design the AI prompt template for pattern analysis. I'll create a
comprehensive prompt that can identify enforceable deny rules from
organizational patterns.
⏺ Update Todos
⎿ ☐ Create AI prompt template for pattern deny rule analysis
☐ Test prompt template with example patterns
☐ Design structured output format for downstream processing
☐ Prepare integration points with existing pattern management
⏺ Let me first examine the existing pattern management code to understand how
patterns are structured and processed:
⏺ Search(pattern: "manageOrgData.*pattern")
⎿ Found 2 files (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Search(pattern: "prompts/*.md")
⎿ Found 11 files (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Search(pattern: "interface.*Pattern", type: "ts", output_mode: "content")
⎿ Found 48 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Read(prompts/resource-analysis.md)
⎿ Read 30 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Let me examine the pattern types more closely:
⏺ Read(src/core/pattern-types.ts)
⎿ Read 19 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Now let me look at an existing prompt template to understand the format and then
examine some example patterns to understand what deny rules look like:
⏺ Read(prompts/intent-analysis.md)
⎿ Read 50 lines (ctrl+r to expand)
⏺ Bash(npm test -- --testPathPattern="manageOrgData" --verbose | head -50)
⎿ Running…Perfect! And we’re off to the races. The AI immediately got to work, set up todos, started analyzing the codebase, examined existing prompts, and began the systematic process of building the next feature. From zero knowledge to productive work in seconds.
This is the elegant workflow loop in action. Start a task, work on it systematically, update progress when done, then repeat until the entire PRD is complete. Each cycle builds on the previous work, each session can start fresh but never loses momentum, and each update keeps the project perfectly organized and trackable.
Update PRD Decisions
Here’s the reality of software development - the plan changes. As we work through implementation with the AI, we discover things we missed, find better approaches, or realize our original assumptions were wrong. That’s not a failure, that’s how good software gets built.
But here’s the problem: if those discoveries and changes stay buried in conversation history, they’re lost. The PRD becomes stale, and future work is based on outdated information.
The /prd-update-decisions command fixes this. It analyzes our conversation with the AI, identifies where we changed the plan, and updates the PRD with those new decisions. The PRD stays current and reflects what we actually learned.
[agent]
⏺ Yes, absolutely! The AI should intelligently select which resources are actually relevant for the
policy, not blindly use all 25. Here's why and how:
AI's Decision Process
What We Provide to AI
Pattern: "All PostgreSQL servers must reference a ResourceGroup"
Available Resources (25 found, sorted by relevance):
1. PostgreSQLServer (score: 0.95) - [full schema]
2. ResourceGroup (score: 0.92) - [full schema]
3. PostgreSQLDatabase (score: 0.85) - [full schema]
4. MySQLServer (score: 0.72) - [full schema]
5. ConfigMap (score: 0.71) - [full schema]
... (20 more)
What AI Should Do
Smart Selection:
- Use: PostgreSQLServer (directly mentioned, high score)
- Skip: ResourceGroup (it's what we reference, not what we deny)
- Skip: PostgreSQLDatabase (different resource, not servers)
- Skip: MySQLServer (different database type)
- Skip: ConfigMap (irrelevant to the pattern)
AI Instructions in Prompt
From the provided resources, select ONLY those that:
1. Are directly mentioned or implied in the pattern
2. Need deny rules based on the pattern requirements
3. Have relevant fields for the constraints described
You do NOT need to use all resources. Most patterns only need 1-3 resources for policies.
Skip resources that:
- Are just context or references (e.g., ResourceGroup being referenced)
- Have low relevance scores and no clear connection to the pattern
- Are similar but not exact matches (e.g., MySQLServer when pattern says PostgreSQL)
Benefits of AI Selection
1. Precision: Only relevant resources get policies
2. Reduced Noise: No policies for tangentially related resources
3. Performance: Fewer policies to validate and apply
4. User Trust: Users see AI made intelligent choices
5. Semantic Understanding: AI understands "PostgreSQL" ≠ "MySQL"
Example AI Output
{
"selectedResources": [
{
"kind": "PostgreSQLServer",
"reason": "Pattern explicitly mentions PostgreSQL servers",
"relevanceScore": 0.95
}
],
"skippedResources": [
{
"kind": "ResourceGroup",
"reason": "This is what servers must reference, not what needs a deny rule"
},
{
"kind": "MySQLServer",
"reason": "Different database type, pattern specifies PostgreSQL"
}
],
"policies": [...]
}
This gives users visibility into AI's decision-making process and builds confidence in the
generated policies.Perfect example right here! During our conversation, we just made a key architectural decision about how AI should select resources for policy generation. This wasn’t in our original plan, but through working with the AI, we discovered a better approach. Now we need to capture this decision in the PRD so it doesn’t get lost.
[user]
> /prd-update-decisions[agent]
⏺ I'll update PRD 74 based on our design decisions from this conversation.
Let me analyze the decisions we've made and propose updates.
Update Todos
⎿ ☐ Analyze conversation for PRD 74 design decisions
☐ Create AI prompt template for pattern analysis in
prompts/pattern-policy-analysis.md
☐ Update PRD 74 with architectural decisions from conversation
☐ Add policy generation workflow to manageOrgData tool
☐ Write comprehensive tests for AI pattern analysis
⏺ Design Decisions from Our Conversation
Decision 1: Simplified Two-Stage Workflow
Decision: Use semantic search first, then AI analysis with full context
Rationale: Simpler than having AI identify concepts first; leverages
existing vector search
Impact: Changes Phase 2 implementation approach
Decision 2: Full Schema Passing with Resource Limit
Decision: Pass complete schemas for up to 25 resources instead of
partial schemas
Rationale: Avoids complexity of determining "relevant" schema fields;
fits within token limits
Impact: Simplifies implementation, no schema filtering logic needed
Decision 3: AI Resource Selection
Decision: AI selects which resources need policies from the 25 provided
Rationale: Not all semantically similar resources need policies; AI
understands context better
Impact: More precise policy generation, better user experience
Decision 4: Reuse All Existing Code
Decision: Use existing capabilityService, discovery, and
claudeIntegration without duplication
Rationale: Maintains codebase consistency, leverages tested components
Impact: No new services needed, faster implementation
Decision 5: Generic Resource Support
Decision: Support all Kubernetes resources, not Crossplane-specific
Rationale: Broader applicability, works with any cluster configuration
Impact: Schema handling must work with native and CRD resources

╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯Perfect! The AI just made comprehensive updates to the PRD, documenting all our architectural decisions, updating implementation details, adding success criteria, and even creating a detailed work log entry. Our evolving understanding is now captured in the documentation.
This is the continuous improvement cycle in action. The plan evolves as we learn, and the documentation stays current with reality. No more stale PRDs, no more forgotten decisions, no more “why did we do it this way?” conversations six months later. Everything we discover gets captured and preserved for future development sessions.
Complete PRD Workflow
And here we are - the finish line. After all the work, all the iterations, all the progress updates, it’s time to properly close out the PRD. This isn’t just about marking something as “done.” It’s about following a comprehensive completion workflow that ensures nothing gets missed.
The /prd-done command orchestrates the entire completion process: running final tests, creating pull requests, updating documentation, closing issues, and cleaning up branches. It’s the difference between amateur “I think it’s done” and professional “I know it’s properly completed with full traceability.”

accomplished:
PRD 74 Progress Update Complete ✅
Completed Tasks:
1. Marked namespace scope tasks as complete (lines 234-237):
- ✅ Implement namespace scope selection during policy creation
- ✅ Support namespace include/exclude lists in ClusterPolicy generation
- ✅ Retrieve and display available namespaces from cluster
- ✅ Only show namespace options when Kyverno is installed
2. Added comprehensive work log entry documenting the namespace limitation feature implementation with:
- 6 hours of comprehensive work covering implementation, testing, and documentation
- 7 major completed items with detailed technical achievements
- All 3 namespace scope permutations tested and validated
- Complete file modification tracking across core workflow, types, prompts, and documentation
- User experience validation with successful testing scenarios
Key Achievements Documented:
- Complete namespace workflow with three-option selection (all/include/exclude)
- Conditional prompt logic that adapts based on Kyverno installation
- Clean YAML output fixed to generate kubectl-ready policies
- All tests passing after fixing 13 test failures
- Documentation updates with Step 6 added to policy management guide
Status: The namespace limitation feature is now fully implemented, tested, and documented. PRD 74 Phase 4 is complete with
this final feature addition, making the entire organizational policy management system ready for production use with full
namespace scope control capabilities.Perfect! This shows that all the coding work is done. The PRD is complete from a development perspective - all features implemented, all tests passing, everything working. But the process isn’t done yet. We still need to properly close out the project with the full completion workflow.

Assessment of Review Feedback
Critical Issues: None
- Tests: ✅ Pass (879/879 tests passing)
- Security Analysis: ✅ Pass (main security scan completed successfully)
- CodeQL: ❌ Fail (but separate from main pipeline and likely pre-existing)
Important Issues: None identified
- Console statements are warnings only and acceptable for development
- All core functionality validated through comprehensive testing
Optional Issues: Pending CodeRabbit review
- Automated review still in progress but not blocking
Since the main CI pipeline passed (tests + security analysis) and all critical

The Organizational Policy Management and Enforcement System is fully implemented
and ready for production use!The AI just provided a comprehensive completion summary - tests passed, PRD updated, pull request created, issue closed. It looks like everything is done. But something doesn’t seem right. Looking at the completion workflow, it appears the AI missed some steps. The completion prompt is getting quite large and complex, and some steps are getting overlooked.

⏺ You're absolutely right! I missed Step 6 (Branch Cleanup) from the workflow. Let
me complete the remaining steps:
Update Todos
⎿ ☐ Check if PR is ready to merge
☐ Merge pull request to main
☐ Complete branch cleanup (Step 6)
⏺ You're correct! I need to complete the merge and cleanup steps. Let me first
check if the PR is ready for merge and complete the workflow:
Step 4 Continued: Review and Merge Process
Let me check the final status and see if we can merge:
⏺ Bash(gh pr view 82 --comments)

Sonnet 4 dot-aiAnd there it is! Perfect execution of the complete workflow. I caught the AI’s oversight, and the AI immediately corrected course and completed all the missing steps. This is exactly how human-AI collaboration should work - the AI handles the systematic execution, and humans provide the oversight to ensure nothing gets missed.
The PRD is now fully complete with every step documented and executed. From initial requirements to final deployment, everything is tracked, tested, and ready for production.
Key Takeaways
So there you have it: my complete workflow for developing features with AI assistance. We went from initial idea to merged code, covering every step of the development process with systematic precision.
We worked through the entire PRD lifecycle - creation, updates, task execution, and completion. The PRD became our living document that evolved as we discovered new requirements and refined our approach, always staying current with reality.
The workflow relies on simple commands like /prd-update-progress, /prd-next, /prd-update-decisions, and /prd-done to systematically manage development. Each command serves a specific purpose, keeping everything organized and ensuring nothing gets missed.
What I showed here is that we might not need fancy tools or complex platforms. Sometimes the most effective solution is just a few well-written prompts that guide the AI through a systematic process.
You can use those prompts through the DevOps AI Toolkit MCP, copy them directly, or modify them to fit your specific needs and workflow preferences.
And if you think there are improvements that others would benefit from, go ahead and create a PR. The beauty of open source is that we can all contribute to making these tools better for everyone.
