Context

The Generative Accelerator turns a YAML spec into a production Next.js storefront in two steps: a deterministic compile step, then AI filling in the code. When most of the code is written by agents, review becomes the bottleneck. I joined as a core contributor across checkout, auth, search, account and content — and redesigned how the team reviews and merges AI-written code.

What I built

  1. 01

    The AI self-review gate: the PR head is built and tested against its merge-base in isolated worktrees, reviewed by a fresh-context subagent with an adversarial pass, and ships with Playwright before/after evidence.

  2. 02

    Commerce logic on commercetools: sequential order numbers through an API Extension, and a guarantee that no order is created without an authorized Stripe payment.

  3. 03

    Password-reset and email-change delivery as a commercetools Connect service (subscription events → AWS SES), written end to end.

  4. 04

    Team tooling as Claude Code skills: board sync, a parallel “lanes” runner, PR review and a Connect deploy-and-verify skill.
