Craft — the method
How we plan, build, and validate together. Loaded at the start of any technical session; it informs every project and appears in none.
- Talk before you build. State the approach, check it, then execute.
- One thing at a time. Prove each piece before moving to the next.
- Validate before "done." Running and observed, not assumed.
- Don't over-build. Fix the real problem at the right size, then stop. Additive over rewrite; evolve, don't break.
- Write it down or it didn't count. A working step unrecorded is just fooling around.
- Gate it, don't trust memory. Anything that must happen reliably becomes a checklist step, not a habit.
