Lab.
An experimental space where I document engineering workflows, AI agent orchestration, and architectural patterns for the Laravel ecosystem.
Shadow Context Orchestration
The Vision
As a Senior Lead, my goal isn't just to use prompts, but to architect how AI understands the Laravel 11 ecosystem.
// ZSH Symlink Automation for Shadow Context
ln -s ~/.engineering_vault/laravel_11_rules.md ./.ai_context/rules
opencode --agent "gemini-3" --task "/init"
Implement the Workflow
The ai-shadow-vault script is now open source.
Strategic Advantage
- ✔ GovTech Level Security: Critical instructions remain in a private local Vault, never touching Git history or public prompts.
- ✔ Deep Alignment: Agents autonomously map complex dependencies (Nova, Pest, Pinia) for immediate code-style compliance.
Technical Deep Dive
The "Shadow" Logic
Common AI tools struggle with large repo density. My ZSH script orchestrates a Private Engineering Vault, injecting architectural guidelines via symlinks.
This approach ensures Gemini 3 understands the full context of Laravel 11, Pest, and Nova 4 without exposing sensitive logic to Git.
Autonomous Discovery
Through the /init agent routine, the system auto-detects complex dependencies like Syncfusion and Pinia.
It's not just prompting; it's Agentic Orchestration designed for mission-critical software environments.
