the cursor-to-claude pipeline that doubled my throughput

--patterns
patterns.
reusable shapes for prompting, reviewing, and shipping. the patterns we steal, and the anti-patterns we keep falling into.
the checklist pattern for agentic runs
a pattern for writing prompts that survive long agentic runs. numbered steps, explicit verification, a single 'done' criterion. nothing else works as well.
