JSM Skills WorkflowBuilt over 12 months in public

In 2026, we areAgentic Engineers.

The complete workflow for building real software with AI. Not prompting. Not vibe coding. Real engineering.

The tool was never the skill. Knowing how to think when you build with AI is.

claude-code — the loop

$ /develop

→ Builds the feature.

  • /scopePlans what to build
  • /auditCaptures project context
  • /architectDefines the technical approach
  • /developBuilds the feature
  • /checkVerifies the changes
  • /testWrites tests
  • /documentWrites project docs
  • /syncUpdates project context
  • /debugFinds and fixes bugs
The wall everyone hits

Great for 30 minutes. Then the codebase fights itself.

Quality over one AI session

You type "build the login page." You're impressed. Then new features break old ones, the AI contradicts a decision it made an hour ago, and you keep prompting, hoping it fixes itself. It doesn't.

prompt & hopewith structure
QualityTime →~30 min: still greatthen it collapses

This isn't an AI problem. It's a workflow problem. And no tool, plugin, or subscription fixes that.

The real skill

The skill is what happens before you type.

01Knowing what to withhold

Less context, better output

The instinct is to give the model everything. The skill is knowing what to leave out, because the wrong 400 lines pull it toward the wrong answer with total confidence.

sweet spot
less contextmore → worse
02Knowing when it's drifting

Catch it at loop three, not thirty

The model doesn't announce when it's lost the plot. Reading the exact moment output starts degrading, and resetting before it does, is a skill you build, not a setting you flip.

driftingcatch @ loop 3
loop 1loop 30
03Read the wrong turn

Stop the drift

Catch the AI heading confidently the wrong way and steer it back onto the intended path without throwing the whole thing out.

intendedoff-track

Almost nobody teaches this, and not because they are hiding it, because most people teaching AI coding haven't figured it out yet either.

The turning point

So I spent 12 months finding the middle.

  • Approach A · too heavy

    Nine context files

    Loaded every session. They go stale, the window fills before you write a line of feature code.

    collapses under its weight
  • The system

    The JSM Skills Workflow

    Somewhere in between and it took longer to find than I expected.

    holds up as projects grow
  • Approach B · too light

    Quick prompts, trust it

    Minimal context. That's just vibe coding with extra steps until things get complex.

    breaks the moment it scales
What makes this different

One line in. Shipped code out.

Open-source commands you install into your projects.

Type one line the skill reads your codebase and writes the prompt for you.

What real work looks like

Everyone teaches scenario one. You live in all three.

What AI courses teachWhat you actually do all day
Greenfield · ~20%
New features in a live project
Code you inherited

Most courses drill the 20% you rarely do. This one covers all three.

  • new-project
    ▸ src/— empty —/mvp
    idea → blueprint
    Scenario 1~20% of the work

    Empty folder

    An idea, no code yet. The workflow challenges the idea before a line is written, then makes the technical calls for you.

    /scope/architect/develop

    The part others teach. We teach it better but it's not where the value is.

  • app · live
    next feature
    Scenario 2every day

    Live project, new feature

    Add payments. Fix search. Build a dashboard. The workflow picks the next feature and runs the loop. No re-explaining, no scope creep.

    /scope/develop/review

    What you actually do every day at work.

  • 80,000 LOC
    unknown patterns
    Scenario 3most common · least taught

    80,000 lines you didn't write

    Add a feature without breaking anything. Nobody teaches this. /audit reads the codebase and learns its conventions before you touch a file.

    /audit/develop/review

    The most underserved scenario in all of AI education.

The workflow selector

Which workflow should I run?

Run only the workflows a change needs. Different changes take different paths.

What are you working on?
  • New product

    Empty folder. Start from scratch, then create the project's context.

    1. /scopechallenge the idea
    2. /architectmake the calls
    3. /developbuild it
    4. ship ✓
  • New feature

    Existing project. Understand it first, then plan and build.

    1. /scopefrom your codebase
    2. /developenforce the design
    3. /reviewsecond model checks
    4. ship ✓
  • Legacy code

    80k lines you didn't write. Learn the patterns, then move safely.

    1. /auditread the codebase
    2. /developmatch conventions
    3. /reviewverify nothing broke
    4. ship ✓
  • Something broke

    Diagnose why before fixing. Take the shortest safe path.

    1. /debugfind the real cause
    2. /developtargeted fix
    3. /reviewconfirm the fix
    4. ship ✓
What you get

The skills. Open-source, yours to keep.

Nine commands you install into your projects. Pick one to see what it does.

/develop

Build track

Builds a feature from its spec, user interface or backend. For UI, it enforces your design system straight from a screenshot.

/develop checkout page

Who this is for

You already write code.

Four quick checks. If the first three sound like you, this was built for you.

  • Yes: You use AI daily but feel like you're doing it wrong. This is exactly who it's built for.

  • Yes: Your projects work great for 30 minutes, then fall apart. The workflow fixes the structural problem behind that.

  • Yes: You're a working developer and the ground is shifting. You don't need to be senior. You don't need TypeScript.

  • Not you: You've never written a line of code. Not yet — start with the free JavaScript content first.

From the community

It's not the model. It's the structure.

I ran your six-file context system with a model that's not even Claude-level, and the results were genuinely surprising. It made the model perform closer to Sonnet. That's when your point clicked — it's not about the model, it's about the structure you give it.

I use Claude Code daily and I still feel like I'm not doing it right.
Krishworking developer
Yesterday I was selected as a junior backend developer without having a degree. I just passed high school. I've learned so much of web development from you.
ShahnoorJSM student
Big thanks to you, Adrian! You taught me from zero to pro, and now I've built my dream app and got a job. Plus, I just finished creating an AI that understands me perfectly. Thank you for everything!
Levisweb developer
I've learned production-level skills that I didn't gain from my work experience. We didn't do that in my previous company.
AlvinJSM Pro member
Most developers start AI coding the wrong way. They delegate everything, or they delegate nothing. Both are reactive.
Satwiksoftware developer
I really love this approach to agentic coding. It boosts confidence of the developer, knowing exactly what to expect from tasks given to AI. Thanks Adrian.
@theophilusaikaJSM community
I really love the way you teach — it feels energetic and engaging. You can say one line to teach a topic where others need five. My biggest regret is I couldn't get JSM Pro for lifetime when it was in beta. JSM Pro is a course every developer needs in this AI era.
Hamza Aryan SapnilJSM Pro member
Recently joined JSM Pro, and got my first real dev job in just a few months. It gave me exactly what I needed to switch careers. Staying subscribed for the community!
Arjun MehtaJSM Pro member
JSM makes the best real-world projects out there. I landed a good internship by showing one of the projects he made on his YouTube channel. Also, The Ultimate Next.js course is just unmatchable.
Jai Srivastavadeveloper
My dev career started by being thrown in the deep end without any previous training, and I struggled for about 2 years just doing YouTube tutorials. After going through all of your courses at my own pace, I found my confidence and abilities scaling to new heights. I recently landed an awesome new job with the exact specs I was looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Start with the free JavaScript content on YouTube first. This course assumes you already know the basics of coding. It teaches the workflow for building with AI, not programming from scratch.

2026

The developers who built the companies you use every day weren't smarter than you.

They had the right system at the right time. This is that system.
