Below is a summary of the key tips that can help you reach 10x productivity
- Harnesses: Use a desktop harness with an integrated browser so you can see what the AI sees and thinks.
- Agent Skills: Capture any repeatable task or process in a skill, and have the agent refine it after each session.
- Plans: Default to plan mode so you can review what the agent will do before it changes code and eats tokens.
- CLI/Scripts: Have agents create and maintain custom CLI scripts, like a DDEV command that installs Drupal with the recipes you need.
- Worktrees: Combine Git worktrees with DDEV to run multiple agents on multiple tasks in the same project.
- Contribution: Use the Drupal.org CLI so an agent can create an issue, fork, and MR in minutes.
- Drush: Have agents write custom Drush commands that expose the data and operations they keep needing.
- Ask: Ask the AI to explain what it did and why, and use it as a learning tool before it does things for you.
