What you'll learn
Control what the agent reads before it writes a spec
Add and reference context files, project rules and skills through the file system. See the draft change with them.
Set up an authoring workspace in VS Code with no code
Install VS Code, a markdown editor and an agent plugin for your LLM subscription. Write specs where the agent works.
Publish specs to your team and tools from the workspace
Push to git for developers and UX, send to Jira or Confluence through MCP. One source, no copy-paste
Why this topic matters
In a chat window you paste context, get a draft and paste it somewhere else. In an IDE the LLM works as an agent: it reads your context base, follows your rules and skills, writes the spec file and hands it to git or Jira through MCP. The draft improves as the agent reads the context base. The setup takes one evening and no code. This lesson walks BAs and POs through it, from the minimal kit to the agent doing the authoring with free tools.
