Pillar 03 · Build

Give coding agents a rail system-not a blank prompt.

Turn approved plans into scoped work orders, execute with agents you control, keep engineers at the judgment gates, and measure the result after merge.

What Build gives you

A decision system-not another activity dashboard.

Scoped work orders

Translate an approved product plan into bounded work with repo context, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and a definition of done.

You get: A unit of work an agent can execute without guessing the product intent.

Agent choice without lock-in

Route work to the coding agents your team already trusts instead of moving engineering into a closed service workflow.

You get: A consistent contract across Claude Code, Cursor, and future agents.

Human review stays explicit

Keep approval, repository policy, tests, and code review as controlled gates around agent execution.

You get: Acceleration without removing engineering judgment.

Intent attached to the diff

Carry the original problem, requirements, and acceptance criteria through to the pull request and review.

You get: A reviewer can see why the change exists-not just what changed.

Release and customer context

Link shipped work back to the themes, accounts, and outcomes it was intended to affect.

You get: A release record that supports follow-up instead of ending at deploy.

Measurement after merge

Feed the shipped change into quality, flow, rework, and outcome measurement automatically.

You get: A closed loop that reveals whether the build was actually successful.

Example · execute the checkout recovery product plan

Replace the blank prompt with a controlled work contract.

The approved checkout-recovery plan becomes a scoped work order. The agent receives the right context, the engineer keeps the review gate, and the result returns to measurement.

Illustrative workflow · sample data, not customer results

Specify

Create a bounded work order

Select the approved requirements, relevant repository context, constraints, tests, and definition of done.

Sample: recovery state + retry path · 4 criteria · payment code excluded

Execute

Run through the chosen agent

Claim the work locally or through a managed runner while keeping progress and artifacts attached.

Sample: Claude Code local run · engineer-owned branch · tests required

Verify

Review, merge, and measure

Score the pull request, complete human review, then watch durability and the intended checkout outcome.

Sample: PR 84/100 · 7% 30-day rework · completion trend monitored

Decisions, not vanity metrics

Know what to do next.

Each view is designed to resolve a real product or engineering question-and keep the evidence close enough to challenge.

Which work is safe to delegate?

Use specification quality, codebase risk, review requirements, and prior outcomes to set the agent boundary.

Where must a human decide?

Keep product approval, architecture judgment, sensitive changes, and merge authority visible in the workflow.

Did the work hold up?

Read PR quality, review, rework, release context, and the original outcome after the change ships.

Before you connect

Questions teams ask about Build.

No. It creates the planning, work-order, governance, and measurement layer around agents your team already uses. The agent remains an execution choice, not the system of record.
