How a wise developer starts a new project — brainstorm, discuss, prototype, diagram, propose, ADR, MR/PR, GitOps — with Review Bots on every change, and Workstation’s multi-agent architecture to build great development teams. Full playbook in the long article.
The wise path (in order)
- Brainstorm — goals, constraints, non-goals, failure modes.
- Discuss — short sync with workmates before code hardens.
- Prototype — spike the risky parts; promote or throw away on purpose.
- Diagrams — context, sequence, deployment.
- Proposal — options, recommendation, rollback.
- ADR — durable “why we chose X.”
- MR / PR — small diffs, checklist, linked ADR.
- GitOps — desired state in git; promote by merge, roll back by revert.
Review Bot — first reviewer that never sleeps
A Review Bot posts inline comments on every PR: security smells, missing tests, contract breaks, migration risk. Humans then review design and blast radius — not formatting. That keeps production-grade quality without burning the team on nits. See also building an AI code review pipeline.
Workstation multi-agent architecture = great development teams
Workstation packages agentic runtimes (and OpenClaw for Business where embodied/agent crews apply) so you can auto-compose a development team around a brief:
- Planner — epics, stories, acceptance criteria from the Spec
- Builders — implement in parallel against AC
- Reviewers — Spec compliance, security, Review Bot + human gates
- Ops — GitOps promote, watch SLOs, safe rollback
Humans stay in the loop for risky writes and go-live. Agents handle throughput. That is how small businesses and enterprises ship faster without lowering the bar.
