// the problem
What goes wrong
A project starts as a feelingYou know roughly what you want, but not the scope, the limits or how you will know it is done. Building from a feeling means rebuilding later.
Plans go staleA plan written once and forgotten stops matching the code. The next session builds against a picture that is no longer true.

Looks up facts itselfPro: it reads your README and code first. It asks only for decisions, taste, access and money.
Keeps a live page currentPro: the spec and plan are written into your project and updated while the work runs.
