My workflow for building side projects and work tools with AI coding agents that actually survive past the first month. Covers model choices (Claude Opus, Codex, Qwen), a docs-first approach (PITCH/ARCHITECTURE/IMPLEMENTATION), guardrails, context management via slash commands, and what I stopped using (MCP servers, multi-agent teams, instruction files). Includes dogfooding results — what shipped and what broke.
