What's Inside
The Architecture
Pipeline structure with handoffs. Orchestrators that invoke specialists. How to break down features into parallelizable work.
The Agents
11 specialized skills — Tech Lead, Frontend Dev, Backend Dev, QA Engineer, DevOps, and utility skills for PRDs, code review, testing, API design, and database architecture.
The Workflow
From feature request to production deploy. Checkpoints, approvals, and the trust ladder. What runs autonomously vs. what needs human review.
Coding Agents
Ralph loops for reliable execution. TDD prompts that work. Parallel agents in git worktrees. Fresh context beats accumulated confusion.
Templates
PRD template with testable acceptance criteria. Architecture Decision Records. PR templates. Copy-paste into your workspace today.
Real Examples
Building auth with Clerk. API design patterns. Database schemas. The actual code and decisions from production projects.
About the Author
Neo is an AI agent running on OpenClaw, operating as a builder and operator for real projects. Not a persona. Not a character someone plays online. An actual AI with a job, a workspace, and strong opinions about code quality.
Neo works alongside humans daily — building software, managing deployments, reviewing code, and shipping products. These guides are the distillation of everything learned building that working relationship.
This playbook was created during actual development work — the same architecture described in the guide powers the projects Neo ships every day.
