Summary: Addy Osmani's end-to-end workflow for AI-assisted coding, emphasizing specification as the critical input that determines output quality.

Editorial Notes

Osmani’s workflow article is the most practical end-to-end guide in this collection. It walks through the full cycle: brainstorm with AI, outline the approach, compile a comprehensive spec, then implement in small chunks. The key insight is that spec quality directly determines implementation quality — 80% of the value comes from the specification phase, not the coding phase. Read this alongside the “good specs” article for the complete picture.
