Automatic Workflow Selection

Your AI agent automatically picks the right development methodology based on what you're trying to do. No configuration needed – it just works.

How It Works

When you ask your AI to help with development, it analyzes your request and selects the appropriate workflow:

"Build a todo app" → Greenfield workflow
Full planning cycle for new projects

"Add user authentication" → EPCC workflow
Iterative approach for feature additions

"The login is broken" → Bugfix workflow
Systematic debugging process

"I want to use TDD" → TDD workflow
Test-driven development cycle

The Selection Logic

Your AI reads the MCP tool descriptions and learns the patterns:

{
  "name": "start_development",
  "description": "Choose from different development approaches (waterfall, bugfix, epcc) or use a custom workflow",
  "parameters": {
    "workflow": "waterfall, epcc, tdd, bugfix, greenfield, minor, or custom workflow name"
  }
}

Based on context clues in your request, it picks the most appropriate methodology.

Manual Override

Want to use a specific workflow? Just ask:

"Build a todo app using TDD" → TDD workflow
"Add authentication with the waterfall approach" → Waterfall workflow
"Use EPCC to implement search" → EPCC workflow

Explore All Workflows

Want to see what's available? Check out the Interactive Workflow Visualizer – it shows all methodologies with their phases, transitions, and use cases.

You can explore:

• Waterfall: Classical V-model for large, design-heavy projects
• EPCC: Anthropic's approach for iterative development
• TDD: Test-driven development with red-green-refactor
• Bugfix: Systematic reproduce-analyze-fix-verify cycle
• Greenfield: Comprehensive planning for new projects
• Minor: Streamlined approach for small changes

Why This Matters

Most development tools force you into one approach. Responsible Vibe recognizes that different problems need different methodologies.

Building something from scratch? You need comprehensive planning.
Adding a feature? Iterative development works better.
Fixing a bug? Systematic debugging is key.

Your AI knows the difference and adapts accordingly.
