The Softdev Pipeline

#088 0:17 Part of the Rysh video series

One event line can trigger an AI agent to plan, build, lint, and test -- automatically.

The Softdev Pipeline — 0:17 walkthrough

What you'll see

  1. Launch rysh, split a worker pane, and have it ##pane listen orchestrator.
  2. Tab back to the orchestrator and double-Escape into rysh mode.
  3. Fire ##>event:ai:softdev:golang:planning -- triggers the worker's AgenticActor to analyze and plan.
  4. Fire ##>event:sh:softdev:golang:development -- runs go build ./... on the listening pane.
  5. Fire ##>event:ai:softdev:golang:unit_testing -- the agent runs tests and fixes failures.

Transcript

0:00One event line can trigger an AI agent to plan, build, lint, and test -- automatically.

0:03Start rysh and split a worker pane. The worker will listen and react to software-development events.

0:09In rysh mode, the worker listens to the orchestrator pane, so softdev events fire its AgenticActor.

0:16Back on the orchestrator, switch to rysh mode. The softdev schema is ai or sh, softdev, language, then phase.

0:24ai softdev golang planning triggers the worker's agent to analyze the codebase and draft an implementation plan.

0:33The sh prefix runs a real command instead. sh softdev golang development runs go build across the listening pane.

0:41ai softdev golang unit_testing has the agent run go test and fix any failures. Phases run from planning to monitoring.

0:47Planning, development, linting, testing, deployment, monitoring -- an autonomous build pipeline, one event at a time.

Key takeaway
Softdev events follow ai|sh:softdev:<lang>:<phase> across phases (planning, development, linting, unit_testing, integration_testing, deployment, monitoring) -- ai: drives the AgenticActor, sh: runs commands.
