Years ago I posted my Agile notes here. Then I sat an AI in front of a real ticket and watched every one of those principles evaporate. QRSPI is, more or less, those same instincts rebuilt so a coding assistant actually follows them — and this is where I start kicking the tires.
What the Code Is, Not What You Want It to Be
QRSPI’s Research stage is forbidden from reading the ticket — it maps what the code actually is, with no idea what’s coming. Here’s what that blindfold turned up when I pointed it at WordPress, and why I trust the method more for making me work that way.
The Five Minutes That Save You a Rewrite
Research mapped the WordPress ground and refused to decide a single thing. Design is the stage that finally makes me choose out loud — including the one call I’m proudest of being honest about.
