Stop babysitting context gathering and code reviews: Quick Dev folds BMAD's create-story, dev-story, and review-story into one agentic loop, and in this episode key open source contributor Alexey Verkhovsky walks the whole diagram with Brian: intent, spec, implement, adversarial review, triage. How it evolved and where it is going.
