How to write production-quality code with AI
☰ A note from the author What this document is — and what it is not PAAD is a set of skills for AI coding assistants, built on one idea: engineering-driven AI, not AI-driven engineering. The engineer makes the decisions, and sees each one while there is still time to change it. Technical debt is where the difference appears: PAAD's review gates make specification-driven development more rigorous, so debt accumulates more slowly, and agentic-architecture later gives an experienced developer a way to manage the debt that does accumulate — a step AI-led engineering does not include.
