Start with the real problem
State the outcome, constraints, and acceptance criteria before implementation. Keep the relevant source records and decisions close enough to check.

Build with agents.
Keep software understandable.
Burdgen is not a coding agent. It is a Laravel-first approach to building useful software with less accidental complexity: define the problem, use what the framework already provides, and check each change against the outcome you intended.
The working method
Add only the complexity the work earns.
Use Laravel before adding layers
Start with routes, controllers, Blade, queues, and the framework's normal patterns. Give your chosen agent bounded work, and justify each new abstraction or dependency.
Check the result, keep the reason
Inspect what the agent changed and the evidence it returned. Decide whether the change meets the intended behavior, then keep the reasoning for the next increment.
A learning loop for both sides
You and your agents improve together.
Grow your understanding
Follow a change back through the Laravel code, the decision, and the tradeoff. Learn why the framework's simpler path worked, or why a departure was necessary.
Improve the next run
Keep accepted decisions, instructions, and corrections available as context. The next agent can work from what you learned instead of reconstructing the same intent from a fresh prompt.

The record is already taking shape.
Explore connected repositories and pull requests, Laravel routes and components, imported Claude Code history, decisions, requests, task plans, and run output. We are still building the broader method that connects discovery, planning, execution, verification, and review. The public sample ask is paused, and there is no published desktop installer yet.
