Summary

The mental model and the toolkit come together here. We cover managing a session in real time — when to course-correct, when to clear and restart — the five failure patterns that quietly tank your work and how to fix each, and a complete worked problem run end to end: explore, plan, implement in a fresh session, verify with tests, and review with an adversarial subagent. Plus scaling techniques and exactly how to demonstrate competence when someone is watching you code.
