AI + Platform engineers at scale often... Playbook
Manage multiple concurrent engineering projects using AI agents for planning and execution, maintaining separate contexts across parallel workstreams to reduce cognitive overhead and sustain momentum.
What does this do
Platform engineers at scale often juggle multiple concurrent technical workstreams (test suite migrations, dependency upgrades, architectural refactoring) while holding complex context across several git worktrees simultaneously. Without structured support, this context-switching creates cognitive overhead and burnout risk. An effective AI workflow allows engineers to carry three independent projects in parallel at the pace a single project would normally require, using LLMs to maintain each worktream's momentum independently without losing technical context.
How It Works
Start each workstream with a planning session using Prometheus (the planner agent in Oh My OpenAgent) to iron out implementation details and generate a plan.md file. The plan.md includes a high-level overview with context, followed by specific tasks and orchestration details. Review the high-level overview and context section to validate that Prometheus understood your intent correctly. If the statements don't match your intent, either rewrite the plan.md directly or re-prompt Prometheus to adjust until satisfied. Once the high-level direction is validated, dispatch Sisyphus (the builder agent) against the relevant git worktree to execute the plan while you move to the next planning cycle. Overlap planning and building: let one agent build while you plan the next workstream, then review the first agent's output while the second builds. Keep each workstream on a separate issue to maintain clear context boundaries and prevent confusion across parallel work. Prioritize different types of work in separate cycles (dependency updates, test suite migrations, tooling development) rather than parallelizing similar tasks, which creates context collision.
