The coding agent should evolve beyond plain prompting into a system that supports custom workflows and product-level control—classifying, expanding, and tracking user input as structured items in a persistent product roadmap. By adopting agents.md-style logic or lightweight LangChain workflows, the agent can break down tasks, store context, and enable multi-turn development with retry and feedback tracking. Paired with a Trello-like UI, this transforms the agent from a stateless chatbot into a collaborative, process-aware coding partner that supports continuous, goal-driven software creation.
