Nice work! Frontend part of the prompt is also nice. Should've pointed out too.
"Vibing" with LLMs is often too shallow for complex logic, while writing full specifications is cognitively expensive and slow. We need a middle ground that mimics how human programmers gather context—scanning structure before diving into details.
The Solution: Outline Driven Development (ODD)
I've built a "batteries-included" kit for Gemini/Claude/Codex that uses AST analysis to understand code structure rather than just raw text. This relies on a hyper-optimized Rust toolchain (`ast-grep`, `ripgrep`, `jj`, etc.) to feed precise, structural context to the agent.
1. The Prerequisites (The Toolchain) Core utilities are installed with `target-cpu=native` for maximum local performance.
- Linux/macOS:
``` export RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -C opt-level=3 -C codegen-units=1 -C strip=symbols"
cargo install lsd ast-grep ripgrep fd-find git-delta tokei && cargo install --locked bat && cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli ```
- Windows (PowerShell):
``` $env:RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native -C opt-level=3 -C codegen-units=1 -C strip=symbols -C link-arg=/LTCG -C link-arg=/OPT:REF"
cargo install lsd ast-grep ripgrep fd-find git-delta tokei && cargo install --locked bat && cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli ```
2. Integration Kits I've prepared pre-configured extensions that leverage these local tools for the major AI coding agents. You can install them manually (config injection) or via the CLI wrappers:
- Gemini CLI: https://github.com/OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension
- Claude Code: https://github.com/OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin
- Codex CLI: https://github.com/OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin
- Gemini CLI Quick Installation: `gemini extensions install https://github.com/OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension`
- Claude Code Quick Installation: `claude plugin marketplace add OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin && claude plugin install odin-claude-plugin@odin-marketplace`
