# AI Week Learnings - March 2, 2026

## Session 1: AI Toolkit & The Architect Mindset
**Speaker: Bharath**

### Key Philosophies
*   **Human-on-the-Loop**: Shift from being a bottleneck (responding to every chat) to an **Architect**. Plan with the AI, let it execute and verify, and only intervene on escalation.
*   **The AI Team**: Treat agents as a managed team. 10x gains are felt through rapid prototyping and data insights.

### Tool Highlights
*   **Metamate (Advanced Auto)**: Best for drafting posts and documents; uses LLM VM for higher quality.
*   **Manus**: Fully autonomous. Generated the session's entire slide deck and website.
*   **Analytics Agent**: Premier data tool. Locates tables, writes SQL, and generates visualizations automatically.
*   **Cloud Code**: Terminal-based and "insanely customizable" via the Cloud Templates marketplace.
*   **Second Brain**: Essential for persistent context/memory across all Meta AI tools.
*   **SuperWhisper**: Voice-to-text for long prompts and chat responses to avoid physical strain.

## Session 3: Rules & Skills Deep Dive
**Speaker: Julian**

### Key Principles
*   **Context as Currency**: The context window is precious. Use **Rules** for high-level orientation and **Skills** for specific, deep-dive tasks.
*   **Targeting Logic**: Effective skills rely on precise triggering (targeting). If a skill isn't firing, refine the "trigger" criteria in the YAML front matter.
*   **Examples > Explanations**: Providing few-shot examples in a skill file is significantly more effective than long descriptive instructions.
*   **Hierarchy**: A flat hierarchy of skills is preferred over nested delegation, as agents can lose focus during deep traversing.

## Session 4: AI Native Code Review
**Speaker: James**

### The "Wave of Diffs"
*   AI adoption is exponentially increasing the volume and size of diffs, creating a review bottleneck.
*   **DevMate Code Review (DCR)**: A holistic agent that performs structured, line-level reviews across Meta's diverse codebase.
*   **RADR (Risk-Aware Diff Auto-Review)**: A pilot program allowing low-risk, high-quality diffs (e.g., doc updates, trivial lint fixes) to land without human review if they pass AI muster.
*   **ADR Platform**: The underlying infrastructure that orchestrates these AI review signals in Phabricator.

## Session 5: Best Practices Panel
**Panelists: Josh, Andy, Sam, Alexander**

### Expert Strategies
*   **Clear Intent**: Avoid "lazy" prompting. Explain the *why* and the *what* clearly. 
*   **Project Record**: Keep a running record of milestones and progress (e.g., in a `plan.md`) to avoid context loss across sessions.
*   **Research Phase**: Mandatory for complex tasks. Ask the AI to audit the system and explain how it works *before* it writes a single line of code.
*   **Validation**: Shift from manual testing to AI-driven validation. The AI should "use the app" or run tests to verify its own work.
*   **"I Declare Bankruptcy"**: Don't try to keep up with every new AI post/tool. Focus on a stable subset that works for your specific workflow.

## Session 6: Cloud Code & Dump App
**Speaker: Growth Team**

### Advanced Tooling
*   **Dump App**: A CLI tool allowing agents to interact with mobile apps (view hierarchy, memory usage, navigation) directly from the terminal. 
*   **Persistent Memory**: Mounting Google Docs (via the `AI_area` folder) to store worklogs and context, ensuring it survives across on-demand/Dev Server reboots.
*   **Switching Protocols**: If one tool (Cloud Code or DevMate) is struggling, switch to the other.
