Build with AI, organised with files
CwF brings structured AI-assisted workflows to your codebase; planning, design, and implementation tracked in plain Markdown files alongside your code.
Why Coding with Files?
Workflow files as code
Track tasks, decisions, and progress in Markdown alongside your source. No external tools, no proprietary platforms; just files.
AI-assisted planning
CwF skills guide Claude through structured planning, design, and implementation steps, producing consistent, reviewable outputs.
No lock-in
Plain files, standard tools. Your workflow lives in your repo, versioned with git, readable by any editor or AI.
Structured steps
Task plan → Requirements → Design → Implementation → Testing → Retrospective. Every step documented, every decision traceable.
Context inheritance
Subtasks automatically inherit context from parent tasks. Deep hierarchies stay coherent without manual copy-paste.
Retrospective analysis
Post-completion variance tracking compares planned vs actual effort, surfaces lessons learned, and feeds improvements back into future tasks.
