Requirements before assumptions

Turn a rough idea or an existing system into explicit requirements, decisions, and acceptance criteria.

Recursive ambiguity gates

Reopen upstream decisions when later work exposes a gap instead of hiding it in implementation.

Specification-first execution

Establish independent specification tests before production code and verify each completed task.

Grounded review

Audit requirements and plans against the real repository, with risk-derived specialist review during execution.

Durable project state

Keep requirements, plans, decisions, findings, and roadmaps in the repository so a new thread can resume safely.

Controlled autonomy

Delegate eligible technical design while retaining user authority over product scope, risk, credentials, and external actions.

One workflow from intent to verified software
