This is YOUR tool. Everything in these documents is a proposal based on our conversation. If something doesn't feel right:
- Question it
- Change it
- Suggest alternatives
- Tell me why it won't work
The goal is to build something that actually solves your problem, not to follow a perfect plan that doesn't work in reality.
