A written-intent approach to AI development, built around an ISA document
What happened
An article picked up by Hacker News on October 26 argues that writing sits closer to human thought than code, so written intent should be the core basis for AI development, with code as one implementation of that intent. It proposes an Ideal State Artifact (ISA) that records the ideal state, constraints, decisions and testable Ideal State Criteria (ISCs) in one document, each with its own evaluation. Intent and document iterate separately from document and implementation, and new requirements and the reasons for changes get written back into the ISA so a rebuilt codebase keeps the same goals and evaluations.

写作比代码更接近人的思想，是文中主张将书面意图作为 AI 开发核心依据的理由，代码则是意图的一种实现。文中提出 Ideal State Artifact（ISA），用同一文档记录理想状态、约束、决策及可测试的 Ideal State Criteria（ISCs），并为各项标准配套评估。意图与文档、文档与实现分别迭代，开发中发现的新需求和调整理由写回 ISA，使重建代码后仍能沿用相同目标与评估。
