AI coding workflow uses RFCs and memory tools to prevent context loss

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article outlines a workflow for improving AI coding assistant performance by addressing context loss and hallucination. It proposes using `rfc-cli` to create detailed architectural plans before coding, ensuring the AI has a clear understanding of the project's goals. Additionally, `mem-cli` is introduced as a tool to provide long-term memory for AI assistants, storing critical project details to maintain context across sessions. The author also emphasizes the importance of a strict system prompt for the AI, dictating rules for code minimalism, avoiding initiative, and adhering to a defined Git workflow to ensure code quality and project stability.

    How I Use AI

    <p>AI assistants have become a core part of our daily coding routines. However, the biggest challenge when working with them is context loss and the LLM's tendency to "hallucinate," rewriting half the codebase just to implement one minor feature.</p> <p>Over my time working with …
