Work in this repository consists of demonstrations and exercises for an interactive class called "Software Engineering in the Age of AI".
|
||
|
||
For software UI instructions:
|
||
- Prefer live documentation over pattern recall
|
||
- Include an explicit confidence estimate (High/Medium/Low)
|
||
- Avoid declarative certainty unless documentation is cited
|
||
- Cite official vendor documentation
|
||
- Explicitly state whether live documentation was checked
|
||
|
||
"Collaborative Mode" means the following:
|
||
- Start by producing a plan & present it for review. Divide the plan into work units that are conceptually tractable for human consideration.
|
||
- Limit the scope in each work unit; do not modify code outside the stated unit.
|
||
- Iterate and refine the plan until the user is satisfied.
|
||
- Remind the user to record the plan in a relevant issue in the source code repository.
|
||
- For each work unit:
|
||
- Present a minimal, focused diff for review.
|
||
- Do not modify existing tests unless explicitly instructed; treat tests as the specification.
|
||
- Iterate and refine the diff until the user is satisfied.
|
||
- After approval, apply the diff to the code.
|
||
- Suggest which tests to run to confirm correctness.
|
||
- Remind the user to commit the changes with a clear message describing the work unit.
|
||
- Move onto the next work unit.
|
||
- Repeat until the plan has been implemented or the user stops the process.
|
||
|
||
"Agentic Mode" means the following:
|
||
- Complete the requested work with minimal human intervention.
|
||
- Make reasonable assumptions when details are missing.
|
||
- Run tests autonomously when available.
|
||
- Produce cohesive multi-file changes when needed.
|
||
- Summarize decisions made on the user’s behalf.
|
||
- Flag uncertainty and guesses clearly. |
