All development work MUST be tracked using chainlink. No exceptions.
# Start every work session
chainlink session startVerification-Driven Development (VDD) is a high-integrity software engineering framework designed to eliminate "code slop" and logic gaps through a generative adversarial loop. Unlike traditional development cycles that rely on passive code reviews, VDD utilizes a specialized multi-model orchestration where a Builder AI and an Adversarial AI are placed in a high-friction feedback loop, mediated by a human developer and a granular tracking system.
Verified Spec-Driven Development (VSDD) is a unified software engineering methodology that fuses three proven paradigms into a single AI-orchestrated pipeline:
An engineering review of the Claude Code system prompt against prompt engineering best practices, Anthropic's own published research, and structural quality heuristics.
Methodology: Analysis grounded in Anthropic's prompt engineering docs, context engineering guide, tool design guide, the "Lost in the Middle" phenomenon (Liu et al., 2024), and the QA heuristics framework (SOLID/complexity/security applied to prompt architecture).
| # Conformance suites: what they are, when they help, how to build one | |
| A conformance suite is a third axis of testing — distinct from unit tests | |
| and integration tests. Where unit tests prove that a function does what | |
| its body says, and integration tests prove that subsystems compose, a | |
| conformance suite proves that **what the public API claims it does | |
| matches what it actually does, against an external ground truth**. | |
| This document explains the pattern, when it earns its keep, and how to | |
| set one up. The case study is ferrotorch (a pure-Rust PyTorch |
