Ask HN: What's Your AI Workflow?

1 points by vixalien 61 days ago | 2 comments

Hello, I'm a junior engineer and has seen more and more people pivot to AI for agentic coding. Just wanted to know how you all use AI (if at all). Particularly interested in workflows you use to deliver quickly and fight AI-isms, such as skills, tools, harnesses, MCP, etc...

Thank you

One pattern we have found helpful for agentic workflows: keeping the execution layer task-first (describe what you need, not which provider to call). You can layer runtime trust checks and cost constraints without the agent needing to know provider internals. It keeps the sandbox boundaries clean and makes fallback between providers or models straightforward without rewriting the core integration logic.

been running claude code on max plan for overnight autonomous tasks. biggest lesson: structure work as a task queue (simple json with dependency ordering) rather than one giant prompt. CC handles individual tasks much better with clear scope. the --resume flag is also underrated for crash recovery — session state persists across restarts.
