Agentic Coding 07: Architecture Through Prompting

Most developers ask AI to build the app — operators ask it to draw the blueprint first. This lesson teaches you to turn clarified requirements into a full, reviewable system design as separate component documents before a single line of application code is written. Master the read-all, commit, modify-by-diff rhythm that keeps large designs fast to correct.

Where you'll use it

• Designing a new system from an empty folder with no existing codebase
• Generating separate component architecture documents before any coding begins
• Using the read-all, commit, modify-by-diff rhythm to keep design reviews cheap
• Creating a scale escape-hatch for deferred features without over-engineering
• Producing a blueprint legible enough to hand off to any engineer
