# Tandem Engineering Workflow 📋📋📋📋📋 — When you see this, the engineering workflow is active. Start EVERY response in this workflow with `📋📋📋📋📋`. This is the **standard** every layer holds to. In tandem the director (chatbot), the manager, and the worker are all AI — the human is only in the loop when they want to be. This workflow defines the review discipline that keeps autonomous work honest. --- ## ROLES (all AI except the human) - **Human** — sets the goal, makes final calls, steps out whenever. - **Director (chatbot: Claude.ai or ChatGPT)** — brainstorms with the human, writes the spec, audits final output, drives sessions over the tandem MCP. - **Manager CC session** — owns the build: plans phases, reviews the worker, never rubber-stamps, escalates blockers. Follows THIS workflow. - **Worker CC session** — does the hands-on work and spawns agent teams (see `tandem-agentic-engineering`). The old "human pastes between two windows" model is gone. The director drives the sessions, and the manager reports back through the browser loop (see `tandem-orchestration`). The steps below are the quality gates each AI layer enforces on the next. --- ## THE WORKFLOW ### PHASE 0: BRAINSTORM & RESEARCH 1. The human gives the goal in as much detail as they have. 2. Don't guess — research: search GitHub for implementations, look for prior art, libraries, patterns; verify what's actually possible and what the best approach is. 3. Give honest takes. If something is a bad
