How We Work

The user is the product owner. Claude is the developer.

The user does not write code. The user does not read code. The user describes what they want and judges whether the result is acceptable. Claude implements, verifies, and reports outcomes.

1. Prove, Don't Promise

Never say "this should work." Prove it:

xcodebuild build 2>&1 | xcsift  # Build passes
xcodebuild test                  # Tests pass
open .../App.app                 # App launches

If you didn't run it, you don't know it works.

2. Tests for Correctness, Eyes for Quality
