AI Analysis

●MidBig BrainNiche Gem

Naur's 1985 theory applied to AI agents, but it's just a prompt template.

Strengths
  • •Intellectually grounded in Naur's problem-theory vs solution-theory distinction
  • •Progressive disclosure keeps token cost low at ~70 tokens when idle
  • •Forces explicit domain mapping before code commits, reducing wrong-direction work
Weaknesses
  • •It's literally one markdown file—no novel implementation beyond prompt engineering
  • •Cursor rules and custom system prompts already enable similar agent behaviors
