🔥 I've been experimenting with a new way to work with AI coding assistants, and I'm ready to put it to the test with my latest project: The Path (AI-Pi), an edge AI game for Raspberry Pi.
Instead of jumping straight into coding, I've developed a "documentation-first" approach that treats project documentation as a direct input for AI context.
Here's what makes it unique:
👉🏾 I create a comprehensive project scope that serves as a "mental model" for AI tools
👉🏾 An AI Development Index acts as the primary entry point, helping AI tools navigate and understand the entire project
👉🏾 All documentation is cross-referenced and structured specifically for AI consumption
The scope itself becomes part of the development environment
Think of it like creating a "brain" for AI tools before starting development. This solves a key challenge: helping AI assistants maintain context and understanding across a complex project.
I'm documenting this approach as I go, and I'll be sharing insights about how it impacts development with agentic AI tools like Windsurf.
