What we discussed

The third and final AMA with Aleksey Litvinov shifts the discussion from choosing AI tools to designing an engineering system built on local practitioners, task protocols, enforced checks, and observability.

The session covers a requirement ledger, ROI through flow and rework, strategic urgency for an AI-native operating model, and the differences between GitHub Spec Kit and OpenSpec.

The central conclusion is that agent autonomy must grow alongside engineered boundaries: deterministic checks, business invariants, bounded permissions, and a delivery system capable of rejecting a wrong action.
