Amplihack Development Framework

Overview

Amplihack is a sophisticated development framework designed to streamline and accelerate the entire software engineering process. It moves beyond simple single-turn prompts by implementing structured, multi-step workflows managed by specialized AI agents.

The core innovation lies in its mandatory 'Workflow Classification' system, which intelligently determines the user's intent (e.g., questioning, investigation, or implementation) at topic boundaries to execute the correct pre-defined recipe.

Capabilities

• Intelligent Workflow Switching: Automatically detects when a conversation shifts topics and executes the appropriate workflow recipe (qa, investigation, or default).
• Structured Development Cycles: Provides predictable paths for coding tasks, ensuring that code changes are handled via dedicated implementation workflows.
• Contextual Awareness: Maintains topic context over multiple turns, only re-classifying when a significant change in goal or domain is detected.
• Accelerated Iteration: By structuring the process, it minimizes ambiguity and maximizes development velocity.

Example Use Cases

• Feature Implementation: When asked to 'add user authentication,' the framework triggers the default-workflow.yaml for coding tasks.
• Code Review/Analysis: If you ask, 'How does this OAuth flow work?', it switches to the investigation-workflow.yaml to analyze existing code paths.
• Conceptual Q&A: For general questions like, 'What is best practice for state management in React?', it utilizes the qa-workflow.yaml for clear explanations.
