# zero-hallucination-coder

Enforces a verified workflow before code generation starts, blocking imagined imports and placeholder functions. Intended for multi-file systems, not small edits.

## What it does

The plugin forces Claude Code to inspect repository structure before touching any files. The workflow moves methodically from discussion and codebase mapping to decomposition, execution, and verification. It follows a lazy-senior YAGNI ladder that strips out redundant components ahead of new implementation. Phantom APIs and placeholder stubs are rejected.

The pipeline merges ideas from the Ralph, GSD Core, Graphify, and Ponytail open-source projects. It categorizes code entities into known, inferred, and unknown groups to prevent hallucinations. For quick one-line changes, this rigorous approach creates unnecessary overhead.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE b472e1003495c4ed
```text
A disciplined coding pipeline that grounds code in verified structure before a line is written: Discuss -> Map -> Decompose -> Execute -> Verify, with a lazy-senior-dev YAGNI ladder that deletes unnecessary code first. No invented APIs, no assumed imports, no placeholder code. Opt-in for high-stakes, complex, or multi-file work; not for trivial edits. Synthesizes four MIT/open-source projects (Ralph atomic loop, GSD Core context engineering, Graphify KNOWN/INFERRED/UNKNOWN mapping, Ponytail lazy-senior hierarchy). Contributed via PR #854.

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the b472e1003495c4ed tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
