In this video, I walk through a real-world example of spec-driven development with AI coding agents. I’ll show you my workflow from a rough feature idea, to spec, refine-spec, planning, autonomous implementation, and final QA in a real Flutter app. Agentic Coding Toolkit: https://agentictoolkit.dev/ ACT Docs: https://docs.agentictoolkit.dev/ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro to spec-driven development 2:38 Introducing the Agentic Coding Toolkit 3:42 Real Flutter app overview 4:49 The feature request 5:53 Running the spec command 8:06 Clarifying product decisions 11:33 More spec questions and tradeoffs 14:46 Reviewing the generated spec 16:41 Running refine-spec 20:31 Moving from spec to plan 22:27 Reviewing the generated plan 23:57 Running the work command 25:12 Final QA and UI fixes 30:42 Final takeaways If you’re building Flutter apps with AI and want something more reliable than vibe coding, this workflow is for you.

Is your AI coding workflow causing more friction than flow? Do you wonder when to trust AI and when to just write the code yourself? In this video, I offer a balanced perspective on "When to Code vs. Prompt with AI" and introduce a useful decision matrix to guide your workflow. Why should you care? Because knowing when to lean on AI and when to wield your own coding skills is the key to faster, less frustrating development. You'll discover: - The fundamental question that simplifies your AI coding decisions. - How to apply a practical 2x2 matrix to real-world Flutter tasks. - When to leverage agentic AI for big tasks and autocomplete + IDE assists for surgical changes. Read the AI Transcript/Summary: https://codewithandrea.com/videos/when-to-code-vs-prompt-with-ai/ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 01:07 - Common Flutter tasks 01:40 - The prompt vs coding effort matrix 02:00 - Low prompting effort, high coding effort 03:14 - High prompting effort, low coding effort 05:04 - Low prompting effort, low coding effort 06:20 - High prompting effort, high coding effort 07:56 - Summary 08:40 - Agentic AI vs Autocomplete Happy coding!

AI coding output is NON-DETERMINISTIC! This breaks a fundamental rule of programming. In this 60-second short, I explain why AI's probabilistic nature can be a problem for coding and how to decide when to keep prompting vs. when to just write the code yourself. Are you facing this challenge? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Does your AI coding workflow produce inconsistent results? Are your AI agents failing to truly understand your Flutter codebase? In this video, I walk you through my 3 essential AI folders for effective Flutter development. Why should you care? Because context is KING when working with AI. These three AI folders are designed to give your agents the precise, structured context they need to produce high-quality, consistent code. You'll discover how these folders: - Help me stay organized and follow a consistent, efficient workflow. - Make it easier for AI to follow my specific guidelines and stay on track. - Reduce a lot of friction by allowing me to easily reuse battle-tested patterns, commands, and prompts.
