  1. Brainstorm/Plan → Create vision document
  2. Spec → Define detailed requirements
  3. Tests → Write acceptance criteria
  4. Tasks → Break down implementation
  5. Implementation → Execute with AI assistance
  1. Setup Weather System: sprout weather --install-hooks (enables automatic context tracking)
  2. Check Your Context: sprout weather (see current focus and progress)
  3. Create Documents: Use templates from /templates/ following Vision → Spec → Tasks → Implementation
  4. AI Collaboration: Use sprout weather --for-ai to share context with AI assistants
  5. Reference: See /docs/workflows/agentic-development.md for detailed AI collaboration guidelines
  • All projects should have corresponding vision and spec documents
  • Maintain traceability across all document types
  • Use the time-based hierarchy to track progress
  • Keep documentation up-to-date with implementation
