📝 Intent is Everything - Agentic Operator Report 🦾

Create an Intent.md and become the Originator of your processes.

In the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) the primary bottleneck has moved from the coding/building phase to the processes surrounding it. This means that Al-native SDLC (ie using AI) shifts the focus from writing code to holding INTENTION through your processes.

Here is the simple flow:

[Start]

↓

1. Discovery & Intent ➔ Creates `intent.md`

↓

2. Spec Generation ➔ Creates `spec.md`

↓

3. Build Mode ➔ Creates `plan.md`

↓

4. Test Phase ➔ Validates & verifies

↓

5. Deployment & Governance ➔ Human review/Release

↓

6. Maintenance & Monitoring ➔ Detects issues

↓

[Loop Back] ➔ (Triggers a new `intent.md` if an error occurs) ➔ [Back to 1]

Now more in depth!

👇👇

Discovery (the fun part): You talk to an Al to define the goal, which is saved as an 'intent.md' file.
Spec Generation (more intentional and specific ofc): The Al automatically creates a technical plan ('spec.md") based on that intent.
Build Mode (monitor this and understand for first time users): The Al uses the spec to write code and create a 'plan.md'. Multiple Al agents can work on different tasks simultaneously using git branches.
Test Phase: The Al runs all tests and checks automatically to ensure nothing is broken.
Deployment: The Al creates a pull request for human review, following strict security and governance rules.
Maintenance: The Al monitors the live system. If an error occurs, it detects the problem, creates a new
