Development Mechanics

Development mechanics focus on integrating AI assistance into your existing development workflows and tools. These techniques help you maintain productivity while leveraging AI capabilities safely and effectively.

Core Development Practices

Workflow Integration

• Hooks - Integrate Codex with your existing development tools
• Auto-Accept Permissions - Streamline team workflows with smart permission management
• Git Clone - Effective strategies for working with repositories

Project Management

• Todo Lists - Track progress and manage complex tasks effectively
• Tight Feedback Loops - Optimize your development cycle for faster iteration
• Skeleton Projects - Rapid project setup and scaffolding techniques

Advanced Techniques

• Dangerous Skipping - When and how to bypass safety checks responsibly

Getting Started

If you're new to AI-assisted development, start with:

1. Hooks - Learn to integrate AI into your existing tools
