How the Proactive Builder Works
TeamLead AI doesn't just tell your team what to do. It does work.
When you create a goal like "Add Stripe checkout flow," the agent:
- Reads your codebase to understand the architecture, file patterns, and coding style
- Creates a branch (feat/stripe-checkout)
- Writes the boilerplate — types, API route skeleton, component structure, database migration
- Opens a draft PR with a clear description of what's done and what needs human work
- Assigns the right developer with context: "I've set up the Stripe client and types. You need to implement the webhook verification and build the checkout UI."
The developer starts building on a solid foundation instead of from scratch. The boring setup is done. They focus on the business logic.
What It Builds
The agent is good at:
- Project scaffolding: repo structure, config files, boilerplate
- Feature skeletons: types, route handlers, component stubs with TODO comments
- Bug fixes: simple null checks, missing imports, type errors
- Refactors: rename consistency, code deduplication, import cleanup
- Tests: test skeletons matching your existing test patterns
What It Never Does
The agent never:
- Merges to main without human approval
- Deletes code
- Changes architecture without asking
- Modifies business logic
- Pushes directly to production
Everything goes through a PR. Humans always have the final say.
Style Matching
The agent analyzes your existing code to match your style:
- File naming conventions (kebab-case, camelCase, PascalCase)
- Import patterns (relative, aliased, barrel exports)
- Test patterns (.test.ts, .spec.ts, __tests__/)
- Component patterns (functional, hooks, composition)
Generated code looks like your code, not generic boilerplate.
