Translation Hill Framework

Production code by non-technical users.

Promptgramming is a step-by-step methodology that translates your intent into production-ready software, even if you do not write code. You answer the right questions in sequence, and AI assistants handle the parts you cannot do alone.

Outcome

Production-ready products

Audience

Founders, PMs, Scientists

Method

Question-driven translation

What this unlocks

Scalable pilots, the bridge from early prototype to first usable product, and the final push into production. The system keeps you in control while AI fills the gaps.

Phase 0-3 Context to Code Human in the loop

Translation Hill, explained

The Translation Hill method brings you to reliable outcomes by asking the right questions in sequence. Each answer becomes a written output, each output feeds the next, and AI assistants execute the parts you cannot do by yourself.

Four steps, one climb

Alignment -> Ideation -> Feasibility -> First usable product

Phase 0

Profile + context, set the intent.

Phase 1

Goals, scope, metrics, risks.

Phase 2

Feasibility + system design.

Phase 3

Product requirements + production-ready build.

The workflow, in plain language

Phase 0 - Alignment

Clarify who you are, what you want, and what success looks like.

Phase 1 - Ideation

Translate the idea into goals, scope, and measurable outcomes.

Phase 2 - Early prototype

Prove feasibility, system design, and the smallest viable slice.

Phase 3 - First product

Define acceptance criteria and build a production-ready prototype.

How it works

Your intent flows through a structured pipeline. Each phase produces a concrete artifact that becomes the input to the next phase. The system keeps context alive and blocks drift.

Intent

Questions capture your real goals.

Artifacts

Profile, idea brief, feasibility plan, product requirements.

Execution

AI assistants complete the tasks you cannot do alone.

Outcome

Production-ready product + roadmap.

Proof: Pixel Detective

Pixel Detective is a vibe coding manifesto. It was built with no hand-written code, using idea generation, prompt engineering, and AI-driven software synthesis. The Translation Hill process guided a scientist (not a software engineer) to deliver a complex production system.

What shipped

  • Microservices architecture with FastAPI backends
  • Qdrant vector database powering semantic search
  • GPU-accelerated UMAP + clustering
  • Next.js UI/UX with a latent space explorer

Proof: Aitor Skills

Workflow genome

Aitor Skills is a living library of protocols and telemetry that power the Promptgramming process. It shows how the framework evolves through evidence, not intuition.

These protocols power the Translation Hill phases and keep the collaboration between human intent and AI execution safe, traceable, and repeatable.

Open source, ready to use

Use the template, remix it, and ship. If this helps, share it around or reach out. If you are not here for glory, you are in the right place.
