The nightmare of markdown files and AI tools
Navigating the Nightmare of Markdown Files in AI Development
Introduction to the Problem
- The speaker, a software developer, discusses the challenges faced when using various AI tools like cloud code, codecs, and Gemini.
- Each tool has its own method for managing memory files and agents, leading to confusion and disorganization in markdown file management.
Proposed Solution: AI Coders Context
- The speaker introduces an open-source project called "AI Coders Context" aimed at simplifying markdown file organization across different tools.
- The proposal includes a centralized "context folder" that houses all necessary components such as agents, documents, plans, and skills.
Configuration and Synchronization
- Users can quickly sync their context folder with any tool they are using (e.g., cloud code), ensuring changes are recognized automatically.
- An interactive CLI is available for users who prefer command-line interfaces; it analyzes the codebase and suggests next steps.
Setting Up Context and Planning Tasks
- After initializing the context through either CLI or MCP (Multi-channel Protocol), files are generated that understand the user's specific codebase.
- Users can prompt plans for tasks (e.g., developing new authentication methods), which will align with relevant agents and documentation.
Workflow Execution with Previs Methodology
- The workflow system utilizes a method called "previs," focusing on planning, reviewing, executing, validating, and confirming tasks iteratively with AI assistance.
- This approach allows developers to maintain control over their projects rather than relying solely on automated processes.
Example of Enhanced Workflow Management
- A typical user experience involves detailed interactions where they specify types of authentication methods while receiving feedback from AI about risks and dependencies.
- The process emphasizes understanding each step before moving forward—ensuring all tasks pass validation checks before deployment.
Flexibility Across Tools
- Users can switch between tools (like cloud code to codeex), maintaining continuity in their workflows due to persistent memory tracking progress.
- An example illustrates how initiating context in one tool seamlessly integrates into others while addressing multiple problems identified during validation.
Execution Process and Open-Source Development
Overview of the Execution Process
- The speaker discusses generating three different plans linked to the current workflow, emphasizing simplicity in execution.
- Antigraph is highlighted as a tool currently aiding in executing these plans effectively.
- The speaker expresses a desire for straightforwardness in using the tool, indicating a focus on user-friendliness.
Validation and Community Involvement
- A call to action is made for viewers to help validate the tool by finding bugs and writing pull requests.
- The aim is to improve the overall experience with the tool, making life easier for users.
- The speaker shares personal insights about this being their first YouTube video in English and their initial open-source project.
