On Track MethodKeep your coding agent on track.

You set the direction and give the signals. The agent documents, plans, implements, and validates.

What it is

A lightweight method for working with coding agents.

A package of skills and a block in your AGENTS.md. It runs in Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses that support skills, and it keeps its records in your repository as plain Markdown.

Who decides what

You

  • Set the direction
  • Answer the blocking questions
  • Give the signal at each Highway stop

The agent

  • Classifies the request
  • Investigates
  • Documents the intent
  • Plans the spec and tasks
  • Implements
  • Validates and reviews
  • Reports

Three lanes. Express, the fastest way: implement, check, crumb, and report, with no stops. Highway, the default: intent, spec, implement, and ship, with your signal after each stage. Off Road, for uncharted terrain: intent and spec with more questions, joining the Highway when the Spec is approved. A signal of . proceeds, x stops, and any other reply revises the stage.
