stop prompting.
start architecting.

Most AI-assisted coding is still improvisation. Scattered prompts, lost context, code you don't quite trust.

The fix isn't better prompts, but workflow architecture: defined stages, explicit handoffs, and bounded responsibility for the AI.

I'm running a 5-week cohort for senior developers who want to design that system from the ground up, applied to your real codebase, not a toy demo.

i use this workflow
daily.

I'm Mark Shust, a developer and architect with 25+ years building production systems, founder of M.academy, and creator of HCF (Halt and Catch Fire), the Claude Code plugin that's the running case study throughout the cohort.

I use this workflow daily, in real OSS and client work. The cohort isn't theory. It's the system I've battle-tested, taught to teams, and now ship every product with.
