Episode notes
Three-Part AI Development Stack
- AI project stack often has three components: an LLM, an agent, and MCP servers that coordinate memory and tasks.
- Choosing models with larger context windows (e.g., Gemini) helps maintain longer development context.
Taskmaster Replaces Month-Long Planning
- Victor uses Taskmaster on every project to generate PRDs and break work into tasks and subtasks automatically.
- He reports that what took a month now takes days because Taskmaster structures and records ongoing design.
Start With Goals, Then Let The Agent Audit Code
- Feed the agent project goals and let it scan existing code to produce detailed PRDs and tasks.
- Review and adjust the PRD, then let the agent convert tasks into work items and update progress.
