Development Workflow

How MirrorDNA Gets Built

A solo founder with AI twins. No standup meetings. No sprint planning. Just continuous iteration with orchestrated agents.

📅 Daily Workflow

Morning — State Sync

  • Run startup_sync.sh to capture system state
  • Check handoffs from previous Claude/Antigravity sessions
  • Review open loops in open_loops.md
  • Pick highest priority item

Work Blocks — Agent Collaboration

  • Deep work: Claude Opus for architecture, validation, complex reasoning
  • Execution: Antigravity (Gemini) for file operations, coding, browser testing
  • Local inference: MirrorBrain (Ollama) for vault queries, drafts
  • Each agent hands off context via structured handoff packets

Evening — Close Loop

  • Run sync_pre.sh to capture end-of-day state
  • Create handoff for next session
  • Update open_loops.md with completed/blocked items
  • Commit any pending changes

🌙 Nightly — The Dreaming

At 3:15 AM, automated processes run:

Autonomous Improvement Cycle

  1. Dream Engine — Internal reflection on day's work
  2. Project REVELATION — External knowledge synthesis, gap detection
  3. Project GENESIS — Weight evolution, LoRA training trigger

📋 Handoff Protocol

Between Agents

When Claude hands to Antigravity (or vice versa):

{
  "from_agent": "claude",
  "to_agent": "antigravity", 
  "summary": "What was accomplished",
  "next_actions": "What to do next",
  "project": "active_project",
  "context": "File paths, decisions, blockers"
}

Handoffs stored in: MirrorDNA-Vault/MirrorFlow/Handoffs/

⟡ This workflow is itself a product of iteration. It evolved from trial, error, and reflection — not upfront planning.
