I found that a project of mine grew beyond my ability to reason about many parts of it either individually or holistically and started using AI. AI started becoming a context nightmare shuttling context back and forth from session to session, finding the right context and getting it applied. I eventually came up with Determined. (https://github.com/bartanderson/Determined) I am currently using it for two different projects and I developed it for other people to use besides me but debated showing it to others. AI has been a big help to me in writing it but it came from my realizations through conversations with AI and one pointed one where it told me what I was doing was not done well by AI. So I started doing more deterministic analysis and that grew and grew and I added languages and the concept of fsms used to capture discrete state machine architecture and reason about them as well as coalescing docs and other things about the software. An AI is able to use it pretty easily (I have been using Claude but have been using it to help train opencode to drive a project for it). If you don't like AI you can still use it to analyze your software. It will tell you things that are hard to see unless you wrote it and have a great memory. I doubt I will be taking pull requests for changes, but feel free to pull down a copy for yourself and do with it what you will. That was what I am doing and am happy sharing it now that there was a forum to do so.
