Your CSV is not your data. It's a promise that needs verification, transformation, and three layers of validation before it earns the right to touch your database. Here's how a production import hook turns a tab-delimited file into trusted journal entries.
Your architecture is your AI strategy. Every decorator, every naming convention, every file-per-function decision determines whether AI can contribute meaningfully to your codebase — or just generate noise.
AI coding assistants are remarkably good at following patterns. They're remarkably bad at knowing when a pattern doesn't apply. Here are three categories where you should always take the wheel.
Importing 10,000 general ledger accounts shouldn't require 10,000 lines of code. Here's how we built a complete data import pipeline with AI — and the six places where the developer had to step in.
Skills aren't documentation. They're executable contracts — structured knowledge files that tell the AI exactly how your codebase works. Invest two hours writing a skill file, save twenty hours of correcting AI output.
The hook runs. It returns ok: true. The data looks right. But three hooks later in the pipeline, something breaks — and the stack trace points nowhere useful. Welcome to debugging in an event-driven system.
AI follows the rules it knows. Your job is knowing the rules it missed. Here's the definitive review checklist for AI-generated Logic Bee hooks — 10 hard rules and 12 soft conventions, explained with real examples.
Every Stripe integration starts the same way — auth headers, request builders, error mappers, retry logic. Let the AI handle the boilerplate so you can focus on the business logic that makes your integration unique.
The difference between a hook that needs 20 minutes of fixing and one that's merge-ready comes down to how you write the prompt. Garbage in, garbage out — but structured prompts unlock structured code.
AI can chain FlowQuery calls with impressive accuracy — until it silently drops a tenant scope or builds an unindexed aggregation pipeline. Here's how to catch the mistakes that compile but corrupt.
