It's not perfect and I'm iterating on it but this is where we are right now. If you are skeptical of coding agents, try it on a domain you are already an expert of. Build something complex from scratch where you can be the judge of the artifacts.

How to Use in Your Ecosystem

This quote directly validates the ecosystem's agent orchestration approach, particularly the Claude-powered task delegation across Rails applications.
