About this automation
Shift from AI code generation to AI-as-assistant for analysis. Feed AI your codebase context and ask for guidance, suggestions, and research rather than complete code solutions. Maintain driver's seat control.
How to implement
1
Prepare codebase context or specific file excerpts
2
Ask AI for analysis rather than generation (e.g., 'analyze this pattern', 'suggest improvements')
3
Use AI for research on unfamiliar domains
4
Request guidance on architectural decisions
5
Implement suggestions yourself to reinforce learning
6
Use AI only for domain-specific languages you don't maintain
