How engindemirog/ai-native-engineering-workspace works
ANEW is a technology-agnostic, file-based engineering workspace for directing AI-assisted software work. A user invokes a tool adapter or uses prompts directly; the agent follows workflow segments that clarify intent, create and approve a spec and plan, build, undergo independent review, and verify against evidence before a human decides to ship. Specs, plans, project guidance, and decisions preserve process memory. The documented quality tools check the workspace and run its configured verification contract. Relationships reflect README-documented responsibilities; source excerpts were unavailable, so uncertain internal wiring is omitted.
