How It Differs

Workflow
- Understand - Read relevant files (max 3)
- Implement - Write code directly
- Verify - Quick compile check
- Done - No ceremony
Iron Laws
- NEVER skip verification — run
mix compile --warnings-as-errors after every change, even in quick mode
- DO NOT touch files outside the stated scope — quick mode means minimal blast radius; if a fix requires changes across multiple domains, escalate to
phx-plan
- NEVER bypass security checks for speed — auth, input validation, and XSS rules apply regardless of change size
