# An AI Coding Workflow Starts with Data and Interfaces

## Observation

ThePrimeagen's workflow separates evidence gathering, interface design, and implementation so the coding agent receives a constrained problem instead of an open-ended prompt.

## Why it matters

This dated record adds public evidence to the goal scoped loops replace manual continuation, verification bandwidth is the scarce resource analysis and keeps the claim auditable as the underlying products and practices change.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2662. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2662.
