Building a Local 'Lead Dev Agent': Your Architectural Clone for Sylius

As a Lead Dev, much of our time is consumed by repetition: explaining architectural choices or naming standards. In 2026, I automated this knowledge transfer by creating a Local Lead Dev Agent.

The Concept: RAG Applied to Your Governance

The goal isn't a general AI, but an instance with \"selective memory\" of your project. Using tools like Ollama or AnythingLLM, you can inject your reference documents as permanent context.

Why 'Local' is Crucial?

Data security is a priority. By running models like Llama 3 locally, no trade secrets or API keys ever leave your infrastructure, ensuring total confidentiality for your Sylius V2 logic.

Conclusion: Multiplying Presence Without Dividing Time

Building this agent is like writing documentation that can talk back. You move from fixing syntax to being a \"context curator,\" focusing on high-level architectural decisions.
