    Video summary

    Alex Finn begins with a specification skill that interviews the user, clarifies the product and converts the result into discrete issues in a tracker. This gives coding agents a structured queue rather than one oversized prompt and leaves a durable record of what the system is meant to build.

    A build loop takes one issue at a time, implements it, tests the result in a browser and opens a pull request or preview branch. A separate review loop checks the work against the specification, sends failures back for repair and advances only changes that meet the stated requirements.

    Alex Finn connects the workflow to a chat surface where completed previews can be inspected and approved with a simple reaction. The human remains responsible for product direction and merging, while the agents handle repeatable implementation, verification and handoff steps.

    The central idea is to design a small operating system for software work. Clear state transitions, bounded tasks and independent review make the process easier to supervise than repeatedly improvising large prompts.

    Reliable agentic coding comes from a repeatable loop that separates specification, implementation and review while keeping each change visible and controllable.
