The Design Sprint
set-up-ai-dev-loop · concept
Aim
Learn to design and operate an AI coding assistant, driving real-time interactions through specification and iteration, to produce a working dev environment.
In one line
Scope & design your AI coding assistant, then drive it live using direct interaction patterns.
Stage run
| # | Stage | Type | Aim | Min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Design Sprint | arcade | Students predict pass-or-crash for AI-written Python, run it at a faux terminal, read the real traceback, patch the one broken line and re-run it green — feeling the predict→run→read→patch→re-run developer loop before it is taught. | |
| 2 | The Dev Loop | dossier | ||
| 3 | The Build–Test–Revise Loop | workbench | Judge AI-generated code against what it actually does when run — read the real failure, feed the tool precise signal, and iterate to working — in the context of building your JARVIS chat widget. | |
| 4 | Working Dev Environment | larp | Can you and an AI run one full build-test-debug loop together and prove the whole toolchain works? | 70 |
