Writing code

LLM-assisted flow

• Use the task background + acceptance criteria as plan prompt (manual)
• Use the planning feature of the agent and let it generate a plan (LLM)
• Review the plan and adjust as necessary (manual)
  • Ensure the presence of tests
• Let the agent implement the code based on the plan (LLM)
• Review the code implemented by the agent (manual)
  • Ensure it meets the acceptance criteria
  • Ensure code quality and standards
• Manually verify that functionality is working as expected (manual)
• Commit code on a branch (manual)
• Push to the central repository (manual)
• Verify that CI passes
• Create pull request (manual + LLM generated description)

Pre-LLMs flow

• Make sure you understand what you have to implement
• Make it work
• Write a test for what you implemented
• Refactor the code for reusability/code standard
• Verify that your code passes linting and tests
• Commit your code on a branch
• Push to the central repository
• Verify that CI passes
• Create pull request
• Annotate code to explain intent of changes
