What they did

lukicov kept making codebase slide decks with an agent that went stale. His SlideOps skill attaches exact file line ranges and hashes so standard checks flag drift.

How it went

Updates no longer need a costly full re-scan.

Worth knowing

Provenance on every claim makes docs cheap to maintain.

Steps

  1. Open the repo in your coding agent and describe the goal and constraints.
  2. Ask for a plan first, then let it implement in small, reviewable steps.
  3. Run the tests or the app after each step and feed errors back.
  4. Review the diff before merging.

Starter prompt
