Workflow

  1. 1Read merged diffs to learn, not to verify; let planning, testing, and review agents handle verification.every.to, 2026-09
  2. 2Ask the agent for the mechanics and full system journey, not only the changed lines in a diff.every.to, 2026-09
  3. 3After a session, ask for an explanation and quiz; let tests decide merge while the quiz reveals learning gaps.every.to, 2026-09
  4. 4Use the Plan → Work → Review → Compound loop so each change teaches the next one.every.to
  5. 5Read CLAUDE.md, architecture docs, system report, prompt, then the component-creator agent before working on Cora.every.to, 2026-04
  6. 6Build and use a flow until it is predictable before handing it to the dispatch layer.every.to, 2026-04
