alt Hacker NewsShow HN: QUALITY.md – open format/specification, agent skill, and CLI
Hello all, I created QUALITY.md to help build a holistic quality evaluation process for my projects. Turns out it's also ideal for loop engineering. I'm hoping this provides a valuable contribution to the conversation around quality and craft and having AI help us in the effort. I hope to shift the mindset from a reactive/review/repair mindset to a proactive care mindset.
Give it a go. I look forward to your thoughts/comments/feedback!

The one thing I do not understand is that here you say:
"Ensure stakeholders are aligned on what matters most and why"
But it is instructions for LLMs, right? A way to describe something that the humans know and the LLMs don't.
LLMs literally cannot be stakeholders, by definition.
I'm less interested in this than in what people are willing to aggressively trade off against in order to get the stuff they truly care about.
For example, readability. Where are the developers out there saying "I am very willing to sacrifice a lot of readability to get even a small improvement on e.g. abstraction cleanliness", and sticking with it?
Or "performance can take a huge hit at the cost of being dead easy to read and reason about". Coming up with a list of abstractly good-sounding qualities is just prosocial signaling without knowing what you're willing to sacrifice. There should be a FUCKIT.md that enumerates these.

This is perfectly encapsulated in xkcd's "Standards" strip [https://xkcd.com/927/].
Useful Nice
Pure slop.
What?
Is this really where we've landed? I refuse to believe that any of this markdown insanity will continue indefinitely.
