AI tooling inputs

Source: docs/program/inputs.json. 12 entries across 7 categories. Operator-authored; counts and scope reflect what's actually in the repo or referenced externally.

This page documents build-time inputs — the corpora and tools available during development. It is not the authorship statement; for who/what actually wrote the code, see below.

How this was built

Built primarily with Claude Code (Anthropic's agentic coding tool), under direct human direction — the architecture, specification, and review decisions are the operator's; the AI generates code against that spec. The output is conventional TypeScript, Astro, and React — standard, maintainable code, not a proprietary format tied to the tool that helped write it. Quality claims here aren't self-assessed: every one is backed by an automated, regenerating verification ledger, not a status doc — see Verified Throughput. For a structured engineering review, see Code Review.
