I'm Sascha Block your host of Rock the Prototype - I am engineering software prototype-based iterative and I'm documenting software development in versioned, structured digital artifacts.
The Agile Innovation Framework (AIF) is an open framework for an agile, iterative prototyping method that drives innovation efficiently and purposefully by seamlessly linking strategy, technical implementation, and operational processes, and defines a transparent, auditable, and secure software development process.
This repository shows how I apply that approach in practice.
You can follow my creative and engineering process as a transparent, versioned, and understandable artifact chain. Step by step, I document what I build, why it matters, how I organize and implement it, and which principles and technologies guide the work.
You will also see how collaboration can be organized through artifacts that are transparent, auditable, versioned, machine-readable, and deterministically validatable.
This repository is part of my Rock the Prototype Chronicles format, where I make the prototyping process visible as it evolves.
Software development is often documented across disconnected tools, ambiguous notes, static documents, and fragmented decisions.
As a result, agile collaboration becomes harder to follow, architectural intent gets diluted, and the path from idea to implementation loses transparency.
This repository explores a different approach: software prototyping as a versioned, structured, and traceable digital artifact chain.
The goal is to make creation, collaboration, and decision-making easier to understand, easier to validate, and easier to evolve.
This repository is structured according to the Agile Innovation Framework (AIF).
It is organized around four guiding questions:
- What am I building?
- Why is it relevant?
- How do I build and organize it?
- Which principles and technologies are behind it?
DSL Core provides the formal foundation for defining and validating selected artifacts in a structured and machine-readable way.
Its role in this repository is explained progressively as the prototype evolves.
In my Rock the Prototype Chronicles format, you can follow this process transparently as it unfolds — from idea to structure, from structure to artifacts, and from artifacts to implementation.
