Add vertical separation pattern (planner/implementer) as complement to horizontal scaling (Boris pattern). ## Changes **Main guide (ultimate-guide.md)**: - New Section 9.17.1: "Alternative Pattern: Dual-Instance Planning" (~350 lines) - When to use (solo devs, spec-heavy, $100-200/month) - Setup instructions (2 Claude instances, Plans/ directory) - Complete workflow (5 phases: planning, review, implementation, verification, archive) - Comparison table (Boris horizontal vs Jon vertical scaling) - Cost analysis (2 instances vs correction loops) - Agent-ready plan best practices - Limitations and tips **Workflow file (workflows/dual-instance-planning.md)**: - Full workflow guide (~750 lines) - Complete example (JWT auth implementation) - Plan template (ready to copy-paste) - Cost breakdown and decision matrix - Troubleshooting and bash aliases **References updated**: - machine-readable/reference.yaml: 15 new entries - dual_instance_planning, dual_instance_workflow, etc. - Line numbers, source attribution, metadata - guide/workflows/plan-driven.md: Link in See Also section - README.md: Update evaluation count (46 → 47) **Evaluation documented**: - docs/resource-evaluations/jon-williams-dual-instance-pattern.md - Full methodology (fetch, analyze, challenge, fact-check) - Score progression (2-3/5 → 4/5 after technical-writer challenge) - Gap analysis, comparison, integration rationale ## Source LinkedIn post by Jon Williams (Product Designer, UK) Date: 2026-02-03 URL: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thatjonwilliams_ive-been-using-cursor-for-six-months-now-activity-7424481861802033153-k8bu Context: Transition from Cursor (6 months) to Claude Code with Opus 4.5 Pattern: Vertical separation (Claude Zero: planning/review, Claude One: implementation) Distinction: Orthogonal to Boris pattern (vertical vs horizontal scaling) ## Stats - Lines added: ~1,400 - Files modified: 4 - Files created: 2 (workflow + evaluation) - References added: 15 (reference.yaml) - Evaluation score: 4/5 (High Value) - Integration time: ~2.5 hours Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
