2.0 Domain 2 Roadmap: AI-Assisted Development (16% Weight)

Core Architectural Topics in Domain 2 (~16%)

1. Context Hierarchy, Custom Skills & Secret Exclusion (Module 2.1)

Configure Google Antigravity, Gemini CLI, and Claude Code on Google Cloud with 3-tier context files (GEMINI.md / CLAUDE.md), progressive-disclosure Custom Skills, and deterministic ignore files (.geminiignore / .aiexclude).

2. IDE/CLI MCP Tooling, Subagent Isolation & Plan-Act-Verify Loops (Module 2.2)

Connect coding assistants to read-only MCP servers for live schema/log inspection, cure multi-file context rot with context-isolated Subagents, and enforce Spec -> Plan -> Act -> Verify loops.

3. Headless CI/CD Automation, Eval Synthesis & Command Sandboxing (Module 2.3)

Run coding CLIs in non-interactive headless mode with read-only allowlists and JSON output in CI/CD, synthesize spec-anchored evalsets with human review, and isolate autonomous execution in OS/container sandboxes.
