Developer uses spec doc and dual-AI critique to improve Claude coding

A developer shared a workflow that significantly improves AI-assisted coding by using a living specification document as the AI's memory. This document details the 'why' behind architectural decisions, ensuring consistency across sessions. Additionally, the developer employs a two-model system where one AI interrogates and plans, and a second AI critiques the plan to identify flaws and blind spots, mitigating the issue of AI sycophancy and repeated errors. AI

IMPACT Offers practical strategies for developers to enhance AI coding assistance by improving AI memory and critical evaluation.
