End-to-end: from specification to production deployment
End-to-end case study: a user authentication service taken from YAML specification through harness execution, production hardening, MCP API exposure, and deployment — with the security, reliability, and observability checklists that gate each phase. Every pillar of the series, exercised on one feature. Closes the series.
Integrating context, specifications, and verification loops
Context, specifications, and verification loops integrated into a single Go harness: the architecture, execution flow, configuration, state persistence, and metrics — compared head-to-head against ad-hoc agent workflows and traditional CI. The harness is where the disciplines stop being silos and become a system.
Replacing vague English prompts with precise, machine-readable specifications
Replace prose prompts with machine-readable YAML specifications: typed inputs and outputs, error contracts, acceptance criteria, and versioning. The Go spec parser and validator, the specification lifecycle, and code generation driven from the spec — specification-driven versus English-prompt-driven, side by side.
