create a plan of action for me to use an auto coder to create the project I have been working on the last few days using this methodology: I use vanilla VSCode and create a ai_guidelines.md file as well as all other documentation, like all of the prompts I would need to input into an auto-coder in order to complete the entire project would be in one .md file and then standards, personas, SOP, security considerations, deployment, ci/cd etc are all described in separate .md Then in the system prompt I create a basic orchestration which instructs the auto-coder to iteratively apply each of the departments of a full tech company to the application of the prompt. So you have the series of prompts for each aspect already created and ready. You have testing incorporated into each iteration as well as considerations for security, accessibility, SEO, SOP, etc. Then you input each prompt, the system prompt directs the auto-coder to iteratively follow through with each department's .md procedures and this is one way you can help guide the auto-coder. I use a variety of tools, cline, twinny, github copilot, gemini code assist, all extensions in vscode. With cline, twinny, continue.dev and other extensions like those you can use locally hosted models to run something like qwen2.5 of whatever model your hardware supports which needs to be beefy if you want anything that actually works. Personally what I do now is just chat in the chat window or console and copy paste and edit together a guide which I can follow along with, learn the concepts, and create the project, and then publish the guide on my blog which I am also going to use to create a teaching chatbot trained on the markdown blog posts, this way I can iteratively build a chatbot with everything I have taught myself so I can always review anything and reinforce any concept I have already covered. It also allows me to easily add more content to be mastered in the future. Anyway. I find that following along with a guide to be a better way. Because I edit the guide myself and test it out by building it and then correcting the guide when I am done. This helps me learn while I am working on something and also to create future resources I can refer back to. This way is also free. Because I just use freely available models to write the guides and try to do as much of the coding myself by building off of things I have already created which I just refer back to a lot, thus the current program I am working on to help me chat with my markdown files.
Here’s a structured **Plan of Action** for implementing your auto-coder methodology using a structured markdown-based approach. This plan ensures iterative development, integrates all essential technical departments, and supports your learning and documentation goals. --- ### **1. Initial Setup & Tooling** #### **Tools & Environment** - **VSCode Extensions**: - Cline, Twinny, Continue.dev, GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist - Local LLMs (Qwen2.5, Mixtral, or any model your hardware supports) - **Frameworks & Services**: - Locally hosted models - Markdown-based documentation approach - GitHub/GitLab for version control - Deployment: Netlify, Render, or other free-tier platforms --- ### **2. Documentation-Driven Development** #### **Markdown File Structure** 1. `ai_guidelines.md` – Defines AI-assisted development approach, constraints, and methodology. 2. `prompts.md` – Stores all prompts required for auto-coder interaction. 3. `standards.md` – Outlines coding conventions, best practices, and style guides. 4. `personas.md` – Defines roles (frontend engineer, backend dev, security analyst, etc.). 5. `sop.md` – Standard Operating Procedures for iterative development. 6. `security.md` – Security considerations for development. 7. `deployment.md` – CI/CD pipeline setup and hosting strategy. 8. `testing.md` – Testing methodologies, automation strategies, and debugging. 9. `accessibility.md` – Ensuring compliance with accessibility best practices. 10. `seo.md` – Optimizing for search engines and discoverability. **→ This structured documentation allows the auto-coder to iteratively apply each department’s considerations when generating code.** --- ### **3. System Prompt for Auto-Coder** The system prompt will instruct the auto-coder to **iteratively** follow through each department's `.md` procedures in sequence. #### **Example System Prompt for Auto-Coder** > "You are an AI software architect following a structured development process. Each phase adheres to industry standards documented in Markdown files. > **Workflow:** > - Read `prompts.md` to understand the project requirements. > - Follow `standards.md` to ensure coding consistency. > - Implement the `personas.md` approach to simulate different roles. > - Execute step-by-step following `sop.md`, ensuring iterative progress. > - Validate security using `security.md` guidelines. > - Prepare deployment using `deployment.md`. > - Ensure comprehensive testing using `testing.md`. > - Optimize accessibility (`accessibility.md`) and SEO (`seo.md`). > > After each phase, review outputs, apply fixes, and refine the implementation." --- ### **4. Workflow Execution** 1. **Define the Project Scope** - Populate `prompts.md` with project-specific prompts. - Define **expected outcomes** and **acceptance criteria**. 2. **Initialize the Auto-Coder** - Load the system prompt. - Begin iteration through each Markdown file in logical order. 3. **Iterative Development Process** - **Step 1:** Generate base project structure (`standards.md`) - **Step 2:** Implement core functionality (`prompts.md`) - **Step 3:** Apply personas (`personas.md`) - **Step 4:** Ensure procedural alignment (`sop.md`) - **Step 5:** Integrate security best practices (`security.md`) - **Step 6:** Configure deployment (`deployment.md`) - **Step 7:** Automate testing (`testing.md`) - **Step 8:** Optimize for accessibility & SEO (`accessibility.md`, `seo.md`) - **Step 9:** Review, refine, and iterate 4. **Manual Review & Testing** - You review each auto-generated section, make necessary refinements, and test the code. 5. **Documentation & Blog Guide Creation** - Once the project is built successfully, convert it into a structured blog post for future reference. - The blog post serves as a **training dataset** for your AI chatbot. --- ### **5. Chatbot for Markdown File Interaction** - Train a local chatbot on your markdown guides. - Enable **retrieval-based Q&A** on your past projects. - Implement embedding-based search (e.g., ChromaDB) to find relevant sections. --- ### **6. Benefits of This Approach** ✅ **Structured, repeatable, and scalable development.** ✅ **Ensures best practices across all software disciplines.** ✅ **Uses free/local LLMs, minimizing costs.** ✅ **Creates a self-reinforcing learning system.** ✅ **Future-proofs your workflow by documenting everything.** --- ### **7. Next Steps** 1. **Draft initial `ai_guidelines.md` and `prompts.md`** 2. **Set up local auto-coder environment** 3. **Test an initial project with this methodology** 4. **Refine process based on real-world implementation** 5. **Build chatbot for Markdown-based interaction** --- Would you like a sample `ai_guidelines.md` file or an example `prompts.md` to kickstart the process? 🚀
