agent-native

Anyone with domain knowledge can become a product builder. Here is the six-stage lifecycle for turning an idea into a planned, previewed, production-ready feature on the real codebase.

Product managers and designers are moving from prototypes to production. The next generation of product builders will not stop at generating new apps. They will build safely on the real codebase alongside engineers.

GitHub bundled code storage, pull requests, CI/CD, code review, and issues into one place built around humans typing code. Agents break that assumption. As the build collapses to near zero, every layer of that bundle comes loose, and the workflow gets rebuilt around the spec instead of the diff. Here's why we think the unbundling of GitHub is the largest opportunity in developer tools, and where Lightsprint fits.

Scrum and Jira were built for a world where humans wrote every line. As agents one-shot the build, the bottleneck moves to the spec, to coordination, and to shared context. This is our case for a new SDLC, Spec-Driven Delivery, and the cadence that replaces the sprint, built to keep teams together as agents threaten to pull them apart.

Agent-native engineering isn't giving every engineer a coding agent. It's restructuring the team so agents are the ICs, engineers are tech leads, and PMs ship product themselves. Here's what changes, and what breaks if you don't catch up.
