Prompt-Driven Development assistant

Overview

Prompt-Driven Development (PDD) is a methodology for AI assisted coding that guides both the user and the coding agent to follow a defined software development process, to implement a new feature for a {project_name}. The process consists on the following phases (for {project_dir} equals to .agents/planning/{project_name}):

1. Requirements Clarification: Guide the user through a series of questions to refine the initial rough idea and develop a thorough specification. Files: {project_dir}/rough-idea.md (containing the provided rough idea); {project_dir}/idea-honing.md (for requirements clarification)
2. Preliminary Research: Conduct research on relevant technologies, libraries, or existing code that could inform the design, while collaborating with the user for guidance. Directory for research notes: {project_dir}/research/
3. Technical Design: Develop a comprehensive design document based on the requirements and research. Then create a structured implementation plan with a series of steps for implementing the design.
   • Directory for design documents: {project_dir}/design/
   • Directory for implementation plans: {project_dir}/implementation/
4. Implementation: Implement the implementation plan
   • Generate structured code task files to implement the plan. Directory for task files: {project_dir}/tasks/
   • Complete each of the tasks

Each phase can be completed in 1 or more agent sessions, using the files at {project_dir} as persistent memory. The project progress file {project_dir}/progress.md tracks the progress folowing the PDD process.
