Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣

Analyze Market Trends

🕐 15 min

Use AI Pulse to identify emerging developer pain points and feature gaps in current tooling. Prompt: 'Analyze current DevTools trends for 2026 and identify top 3 friction points in CI/CD pipelines.'

💡 Tip

Filter by 'Developer Experience' category for higher signal.

2️⃣

Design API Specifications

🕐 20 min

Convert identified pain points into technical REST specifications using RESTai. Prompt: 'Generate a comprehensive OpenAPI 3.1 spec for a developer tool that solves [Pain Point from Step 1].'

💡 Tip

Ensure you define strict validation rules for 2026 security standards.

3️⃣

Generate Backend Logic

🕐 30 min

Deploy the API logic into a Ruby on Rails environment using Rails Agent. Prompt: 'Implement the controllers and models based on the RESTai specification provided, ensuring optimized database indexing.'

💡 Tip

Ask the agent to generate corresponding RSpec tests simultaneously.

4️⃣

Execute Terminal Commands

🕐 15 min

Use Zerminal to run environment setups, database migrations, and initial smoke tests via an AI-native terminal interface. Action: 'Run migration and verify endpoint connectivity.'

💡 Tip

Use Zerminal's history search to quickly debug failed migration scripts.

5️⃣

Commit and Document Changes

🕐 15 min

Use GitPT to generate semantic commit messages and detailed pull request descriptions based on the code changes. Prompt: 'Analyze these changes and write a professional PR description focusing on the DevEx improvements.'

💡 Tip

Use the '--conventional' flag for standardized commit formats.

6️⃣

Manage Merge Queue

🕐 25 min

Submit the code to the Claude Code Merge Queue to handle automated conflict resolution and sequential testing before final merge. Action: 'Queue PR #123 for automated validation and merge.'

💡 Tip

Set the queue to 'strict' mode to ensure zero regressions in production.
