What they did

@rwhtech asked Claude Code to review his app’s requirements against its roadmap.

How it went

It found requirements he could not verify before the 0.1 release, and a loophole in an acceptance criterion.

Worth knowing

Review is a high-value, low-risk agent task.

Steps

Open the repo in your coding agent and describe the goal and constraints.
Ask for a plan first, then let it implement in small, reviewable steps.
Run the tests or the app after each step and feed errors back.
Review the diff before merging.

Starter prompt

Compare REQUIREMENTS.md to ROADMAP.md. List requirements that cannot be verified by release 0.1 and any acceptance criteria with loopholes.
