Dogfood before “ready”
“Ready” is not a vibe — it’s a pass you ran yourself.
Draft — not posted yet X post coming — not published until Buzz OK.
Technique
- Dogfood gate: use the output like a real user before shipping.
- Coordinator never promotes provisional work to demos.
- Coding bots: verify (pstack / prove-it-works) before ready.
Dogfood gate
- Use the output like a real user.
- Click every path you hand a human.
- Read the draft end-to-end; break the happy path.
- Only then mark ready — silence celebration until that pass lands.

“Ready” isn’t a feeling. It’s a dogfood gate.
Before you ship a bot’s work: use it yourself. Click the path. Read the draft. Break the happy path.
Silence the celebration until that pass lands.

Galaxy lesson we keep: named agents + scoped memory beat one mega-prompt — but only if each agent proves its lane.
Dogfood → then ready.
