Validate

The main claude-base workflow follows 6 mandatory steps (+ 1 optional):

1. Explore - Understand the existing code before modifying 1b. Brainstorm (optional) - Structured ideation before specification (alternatives, fuzzy ideas)
2. Specify - Create a functional specification (User Stories, criteria)
3. Plan - Plan changes before implementing
4. TDD - Develop by writing tests BEFORE the code (mandatory)
5. Audit - Adaptive /qa:qa-loop "score 90" until reaching the target score
6. Commit - Create clean, descriptive commits (Conventional Commits)
