Writing
- Find the seam before you add parametersSplitting at a seam and fitting one new offset cut a map's worst landmark error from 189 px to 61 px and left the good half untouched. A second slope would have bought 0.6 px more.
- Put the rule in a hook, not the promptPrompts carry judgment, hooks carry invariants: three small Claude Code hooks that stopped my agents 327 times in September, and where classifiers fit next.
