I just released my #ChartedCoding dev workflow (📝 design doc => 🤖✅ AI #TDD) video using #Cursor, and now I have to try the same with #GeminiCLI 😅

Excithausting times 😆

Why prompt and pray when you can work on a design doc — including Mermaid diagrams and test cases — with your AI assistant?

👋 If you are at #VDZ26 and wanna come say hi or wanna chat about #angular, #testing, #nx and AI dev workflows such as #ChartedCoding, you will find me here.

✋ There is nothing wrong with AI agents.
The problem is the dev workflow.

Why ask for Code & Fix when you could ask for #TDD?

@cursor.com.web.brid.gy + #wallabyjs + @vitest.dev
= 🤖✅ AI-powered TDD

Just a glimpse of what's cooking...
⛵️ #chartedcoding

Stay tuned.

🧭 A major benefit of #ChartedCoding is that focused prompts are faster and more predictable, e.g.:

📝 review design doc
🚧 scaffold wip code
🔴 write failing tests
✅ make them pass one by one (using a test MCP)
🧹 tidy up
🎨 polish UI
...

Diagram representing charted coding and human / AI agent participation. Creative tasks require more human attention than repetitive & time-consuming work. It goes from design doc to writing failing tests and making them pass then finally refactoring.

AI agents are great — until you're staring at a 500-line PR you didn't ask for

⛵️ With #ChartedCoding an AI-assisted TDD, you get:
- ⚡️ Tight feedback loops
- 🪙 Low token usage
- 🎯 Humans & agents stay focused

💻 Try the agent skills: github.com/marmicode/sk...
or make your own 😉
Infographic titled 'Charted Coding: An AI-Assisted Workflow where you stay at the helm.' Shows the workflow as five sequential slash commands: /charted-design produces a Collaborative Design Doc, /charted-review enhances with expert sub-agents, /charted-scaffold generates Wiprecated Code, /charted-red creates a Failing Test, and /charted-green makes it pass. Right side highlights three benefits: Tight feedback loops, Low token usage, and Focused. Top left shows the install command: npx skills add marmicode/skills. Marmicode logo in bottom left corner.

🍿 Reviewing a PR is like watching the last five minutes of a movie and being asked whether the plot made sense.

The thing about Charted Coding (github.com/marmicode/sk...) is that it breaks a feature into small intent-driven commits:

🧵

#AI #AIAssistedDev #ChartedCoding #TDD
design doc, scaffolding (the noisy boilerplate), failing test, making the test pass. That sequence is the review. You can watch the feature get built, decision by decision. 🫠 The problem is that most tooling is PR-first. I want to read the story, not just the last scene. So I'm exploring a commit-first review tool: 🔥 A heat map of review cost, so attention goes where it matters. 🏷️ Tags for each Charted Coding step (design, scaffold, red, green, ...), so a reviewer knows what kind of change they're looking at. 🤖 More importantly, it should tell if the AI commits were supervised or not. 👀 Reviewer routing. Maybe one person takes the design doc and another takes the implementation. See who reviewed what, at the commit level. Still early, but I'm curious how you deal with this? and if such an OSS tool would be useful to you and what you would except from it? Obviously, diffing, comments etc... are still handled by your current tools (e.g. Github)

#TDD not only helps humans develop faster.

It also helps AI agents:
🔁 Self-evaluate before wasting precious human review time
🎯 Make focused changes to reduce review cost
👯 Parallelize work on different agents

This is just a subset of what I call #chartedcoding
