Software Project

A working codebase with a real crew: a lead developer who builds and fixes, a reviewer who checks the work, and a librarian who reads the code while you sleep and files what it finds. Weekly dependency and documentation sweeps keep the quiet rot out.

Software Project uses Gezel’s own conversation and project views rather than a page of its own, so there is no browser preview. Install Gezel to try it.

What’s inside

The crew

Plans it follows

  • Reproduce-Then-Fix a BugFix a bug the disciplined way, with proof at every step: a failing test that reproduces it (verified red by a real test run), the smallest change at the real defect site, a green suite afterwards, and an enforced independent review of the fix.
  • Behavior-Preserving RefactorRestructure code without changing what it does, with proof at every stage: a green suite recorded before anything moves (characterization tests pinned first when coverage is thin), small reversible stages that keep the tests green, a re-measured structure target, and an enforced independent review.
  • Test Suite BackfillAdd tests that actually bite to untested code: rank the untested behavior by breakage cost, write tests in the project's real layout that a wrong implementation would fail, and prove the suite green with real run receipts — under an enforced independent review.
  • Code ReviewSnapshot-driven code review.
  • Root-Cause InvestigationDebug systematically: reproduce the failure and find the true root cause before changing any code, then fix and verify.
  • Release Readiness ReviewRun a go/no-go release readiness review against a structured pre-launch checklist and produce a sign-off report with a clear ship decision.
