Agentic Coding Workflow for Planning, Building, and Reviewing Software Projects
I’ve been experimenting with agentic coding for quite some time, and I’ve noticed that the tasks I let the agent handle keep getting bigger. For larger tasks and projects, I gradually moved to a standard workflow, which I published at https://github.com/evermeer/CodingAgentOrchestration in part 2 of the tutorial. I use this workflow professionally and in my side projects. My most recent side project is Quadrim, a Four in a row game played in a 4×4×4 cube. I made it open source and included all the prompts for both the code and the artwork: https://github.com/evermeer/Quadrim It took me about eight working days to publish the first version to the app stores. Step-by-step: 1. I start by describing the idea. 2. I brainstorm the idea with the agent. 3. I use `to-spec` to create a specification document for the idea. 4. I use `to-ticket` to create independent, executable tasks. 5. I review the specifications and tickets from the perspectives of a senior software engineer, architect, security officer, and product manager. 6. I implement one ticket at a time. 7. I code-review the generated implementation for each ticket. During the pre-implementation steps, I always add this instruction to my prompt: “Ask clarifying questions until any ambiguities are resolved.” Extra fine-tuning of the idea, specifications, or plan pays off during implementation. When I let the agent build code, I ask it to use TDD, perform a code review at the end, and resolve the major and critical findings.
