Map of the trilogy This is the third book of a trilogy, and you do not need to have read the other two: each one stands on its own, and this chapter zero exists so you know what lives in each volume when a bridge shows up in the text. Spec Driven Development (https://books.kodel.com.br/en/books/sdd/) answers what and why: how to turn intent into a verifiable specification, so the work, yours or an AI’s, has a target to check against. FOCUS Architecture (https://books.kodel.com.br/en/books/focus/) answers where: how to organize code into slices with their limits declared, so every change has an address. This book answers the question left over when the other two are standing: what the agent sees right now, in the window of this call, and at what cost.
The order of the arrows is the order of the information, not a required reading order: the spec says what to do, the architecture says where the doing happens, and the context carries both, in the right dose, to the model’s window. When this book cites the earlier ones, the citation comes by name and with whatever is needed summarized on the spot, precisely so you do not have to depend on them in the middle of a chapter.
