How Developers Collaborate Across Repos

In a CDD system, developers aren't just building code — they are wiring up communication between modules, roles, and systems. Instead of focusing solely on isolated feature implementation, developers contribute to a context-aware architecture that enables modularity, reusability, and asynchronous collaboration.

Role Overview​

  • Build modular, context-driven components.
  • Define clear contracts for interaction between systems.
  • Ensure observability and traceability of system behavior.

Developers in the CDD Workflow​

In CDD, developers build more than features — they construct reliable communication patterns. Every component, service, or tool they write fits into a broader, event-driven system. Developers collaborate with PMs, designers, and even AI agents through predictable contexts and shared protocols.

Key developer responsibilities include:

  • Creating modular components that respond to context changes.
  • Using observables (like RxJS or similar patterns) to define event-driven data flows.
  • Designing and maintaining shared interfaces for cross-repo communication.
  • Writing utilities that help other roles (PMs, designers, AI) interact with the system effectively.

Benefits for Developers​

  • Clear separation of concerns — logic is decoupled from UI and storage.
  • Easier testing and validation via predictable data flow.
  • Better maintainability through isolated responsibilities.
  • Ability to onboard others (or AI agents) into the workflow with minimal assumptions.
