Architecture

Architecture chooses the seams: data, routes, and tools.

Pipeline

Intent

Name the problem and make success checkable.

Shape

Plan, seams, and ticket-sized work.

Build

Edit, test, debug, and review the repo.

Ship

Assemble, publish, and learn from the live app.

Enters

Plan.

Exits

A brief architecture note.

What happens

The system shape is named so agents edit the right layers.

Without seams, agents rewrite everything.

Human engineer, optionally an architecture-aware coding agent.

Agents can propose options; humans choose constraints.
