How do you think Primer will evolve as agents get better at long-horizon tasks? The milestone and verification loop make sense now as agents fail unpredictably on complex tasks. Do tasks just get bigger and milestones scale with them?
Have you seen openspec, or any of the others in this space?
Yes. They are trying to make AI-assisted development more structured. I am focusing with Primer more on learning-path oriented side. It means breaking things into small, verifiable milestones that one completes step by step, rather than defining a full spec upfront.
That said I think there is definitely overlap and I am interested in borrowing ideas where it makes sense.
Planning and specs are what makes AI capable and reliable
Agree. Right now, AI models are kind of at a plateau, so harnesses are really important.
