Vibes Aren’t a Strategy: Engineering Context in the Age of AI

We’ve all experienced the magic of "vibe coding"—describing a feature to an AI and watching it come to life. But for greenfield projects, "vibes" quickly lead to architectural drift, context loss, and unmaintainable "spaghetti" code. The missing link isn't a better prompt; it’s a better process.

This hands-on session introduces the BMAD Method (Breakthrough Method for Agile AI-Driven Development), a revolutionary framework that transforms AI from a chatty assistant into a structured, production-ready development team.

Participants will learn how to replace fuzzy prompts with Context Engineering. We will use the BMAD multi-agent workflow to greenfield an application from scratch—moving through a disciplined, four-phase lifecycle:

• Analysis: Using specialized agents to brainstorm and research the project "North Star."

• Planning: Generating high-fidelity PRDs and specs that provide the "source of truth."

• Solutioning: Sharding documentation into actionable epics and stories to prevent context bloat.

• Implementation: Orchestrating Developer and QA agents to execute code with zero "context loss."

Attendees will work through a live greenfield track, choosing between Quick Flow (for rapid prototyping) and the full BMAD Method (for robust platforms). You will see firsthand how to use the BMAD-Core flattener and agent-as-code patterns to maintain a single source of truth within your repository.

Key Takeaways

Context Engineering Mastery: Learn to design the structural context that AI agents need to build complex systems without hallucinations. The Multi-Agent Team: Understand the roles of the Analyst, Architect, and Scrum Master agents in a spec-driven environment. Practical Tooling: Get hands-on with the BMAD CLI and learn how to integrate it with IDEs like Cursor, Claude Code, or VS Code.
