Workflow Integration

How to incorporate AI tools into your daily development workflow.

Development lifecycle

Planning

  • Use AI to brainstorm implementation approaches
  • Generate technical design outlines from requirements
  • Analyze existing code before proposing changes

Implementation

  • Start with AI-generated scaffolding, then refine
  • Use AI for boilerplate code (tests, configs, migrations)
  • Pair program with AI for complex logic

Review

  • Run AI review before requesting human review
  • Use AI to generate PR descriptions and summaries
  • Let AI help reviewers understand unfamiliar code

Debugging

  • Share error messages and stack traces with AI
  • Have AI analyze logs to identify root causes
  • Use AI to suggest fixes and verify edge cases

Team workflow

Sharing prompts

When you find a prompt that works well:

  1. Document it in the Tips & Tricks section
  2. Include the tool name, the prompt, and example output
  3. Note any caveats or limitations

Pair sessions

Schedule regular pair sessions where team members demonstrate their AI workflows. This is the fastest way to spread knowledge.
