## Use of AI

**Claude:** Code analysis, bug fixing, documentation and proofreading.
**Me:** Architecture, features and logic are planned, thought through and written by me.

Who looks for "AI patterns" in the code: clean indentation is the linter,
okayish variable names are the developer, and the semicolon hiding somewhere
is what Claude finds. That's how it works.

I have ADHD and mild dyslexia. Claude helps me stay focused and makes sure
others can follow the code too. That's exactly what open source is for.

Source code is open, every decision is traceable.
