Free preview — Module 0: The monolith reality
AI agents were trained on small repos. Your monolith is 5–15 years of shared database, tangled includes, and “don’t touch” files. North star: reduce time-to-safe-diff, not time-to-merged-chaos.
| High success | Low success |
|---|---|
| New template partial | Rewrite entire admin |
| WP-CLI seeder | Framework migration in one shot |
| Single AJAX handler | Replace checkout flow |
Module 1: Task sizing — the SCOPE card
Before every agent session, fill this card:
S — Surface (directory)
C — Change type: add | fix | refactor | docs
O — Output files, ~200 LOC max
P — Proof: lint, URL, manual steps
E — Exclusions: wp-config, payments, authTimebox: 25 min agent session → review diff → commit or discard. Never stack 3 unreviewed sessions.
Module 2: Context assembly (excerpt)
- Repo rules —
.cursor/rules/never-dos - Skills — verification, debugging SOPs
- MCP docs — fresh API references
- Index — Cursor + grep, not hype vector DB
Full playbook includes Modules 3–7
- Automation harness (scout → seeder → deploy)
