AI Code that Works · MCP

A senior coach at your repo root.

The AICTW MCP server installs into your project and gives your coding agent a set of commands that measure your work against the five-phase method, then coach it through what to fix, set up, convert, and secure. It has no access to your files — it hands your agent the plan, and your agent does the work.

The method

Prompts are not enough. Systems are.

Raw AI coding gives you speed; without structure, that speed produces fragile software faster than anyone can clean it up. The AICTW five-phase method is the structure — the guardrails you build into the repo and onto the AI so it builds reliably. It is what the coach scores your work against.

  1. Decompose

    Get the real work out of your head first.

  2. Context

    Give the AI the full picture before it builds.

  3. Rules

    Turn preferences into a governed process.

  4. Documentation

    Treat documentation as the project's memory.

  5. Verification

    Never trust static success alone.

  6. Feedback Loops

    Build the loops that replace guesswork.

Phase 0 (Decompose) comes first — the thinking you do before any of it. Read the full method, phase by phase, on the method page.

How it works

From a rough idea to verified work.

The coach walks the whole arc and hands your agent exactly what it needs at each step — you stay in control, and your own coding agent does the building.

  1. idea
  2. plan
  3. pack
  4. prompt
  5. verify

Bring a rough idea (/ideate pressure- tests it). plan turns it into a permanent plan file, then packbundles the method steps, your repo’s rules, and a verification checklist into a Context Pack. compose writes the exact prompt to paste into your agent — and when your agent says it’s done, compose writes the verification prompt to check the work.

The commands

A coach your agent runs from your editor.

Most read commands (gather then analyze) report back; ask answers directly from the knowledge base, and post turns a stuck moment into a ready-to-paste question for the community — you review it and post it yourself. Plan-first commands show the change-set and its risks and write nothing until you say go — then hand your agent the ordered edits to make. The server never touches your files.

  • assessread

    Score your repo against the five-phase method and get a prioritized plan of what to improve first. Start here.

  • askread

    Ask in plain language — “how do I…” or “what should I…” — and get grounded guidance and the right playbook to run next.

  • postread

    Turn a messy problem into a clear community question — your goal, stack, what you tried, and the exact question, formatted and ready to paste. You review it and post it yourself; we never post for you.

  • planread

    Plan a feature the AICTW way — a short interview, then a permanent plan file threaded through the five-phase method for your agent to work from.

  • packplan-first

    Make your repo work the AICTW way for the one task you're about to hand off — pack the method steps, this repo's rules, and a verification checklist into a Context Pack under `.aictw/packs/`. Plan-first: you see it before your agent writes anything.

  • composeread

    The hand-off — the exact prompt to paste into your coding agent for one moment (first prompt, implementation, verification, bug-fix, or task-split), grounded in your plan and Context Pack. It writes nothing; you paste it and run it.

  • implementplan-first

    Apply one of our playbooks or briefs to your repo — name it (or describe it) and we resolve the content for your agent to write.

  • fixplan-first

    Remediate an issue from your AICTW report using our playbook for it — pass the fix id from an assess gap or a scan finding.

  • recommendread

    Stack-aware recommendations — what to improve, why it matters, and honest migration advice where a swap is involved.

Session prompts

A prompt to sharpen a session

Beyond the commands, a slash-invocable prompt pressure-tests an idea before you build (/ideate) — run it before plan. To get going, connect, then say “get me started” or run assess for a read-only first look, then setup to scaffold.

  • /ideate

    Pressure-test an idea before you build — validate what you bring, or generate candidates, then hand it to plan. You run the research; the coach never invents numbers.

A couple of commands run under the hood — setting your repo up the AICTW way (a fresh folder or an existing project) and the security review your agent calls for you — so you never have to think about them. Your agent reaches for them at the right moment; you just work the plan.
