Chain of Truth (CoT) workflow for AI-assisted software development. Validated artifacts as the Source of Truth (SoT) — not prompts. 7 phases: SRS → Product Structure (IA + Design System + User Flows) → HiFi Prototype → Data Model → UCIC → Implementation → Testing. Use when: building a new feature/application with AI, planning a project, reducing inconsistency in AI output, structuring requirements, or when the user mentions "chain of truth", "CoT", "source of truth", "validated artifacts".
