that reads/writes files, runs commands, searches the codebase, and orchestrates sub-agents.

regression-tester, quality-gate, code-reviewer, chief-architect, visual-qa, tilt-ops), each with a focused role โ€” and implementers are kept separate from the verifiers.

code-reviewer per domain โ†’ visual-qa + regression-tester (if UI/API changed) โ†’ an aggregated LIFECYCLE_PASSED / LIFECYCLE_FAILED report. Failures route back, get fixed, and only the failed check re-runs.

cleaner than you found it.

only real dependencies.

results are visible to the human and no duplicate dev servers spawn โ€” agents never run raw npm/dotnet checks.

standards, and a live roadmap** โ€” gives the agents continuity and a shared definition of "done."

output is always verified with real tooling. The leverage comes from tight verification loops, not blind code generation.

  • The platform is built and maintained largely with Claude Code, an agentic tool
  • Work is split across specialized subagents (frontend-dev, backend-dev,
  • A mandatory lifecycle runs after every change: parallel quality-gate +
  • Fix everything you find, including pre-existing issues โ€” leave the codebase
  • Parallelize independent streams and split the gatekeepers by domain; sequence
  • The Tilt MCP feedback loop runs all verification through shared resources so
  • Supporting machinery โ€” **persistent memory, skills/slash commands, centralized
  • Humans own direction, architecture, approval, and all irreversible actions; AI
