Codebases optimized for human reading miss what agents need: explicit structure, clear signals, self-documenting architecture. Humans infer from naming, location, history. Agents only see what's explicit. The gap between "works for me" and "navigable by AI" is smaller than it looks—not a rewrite, a retuning. Make explicit what was implicit. Structure what was intuited. Index what was assumed. Architecture that speaks clarifies for everyone.
Style Prompt
Forward momentum prog-grunge at 118 BPM with DIY energy. Bright arpeggiated guitar driving the rhythm, clean chord progressions, melodic bass anchoring. Drums punchy and propulsive without overwhelming. Confident clear male vocals, direct delivery, anthemic hooks. Structure is cleanest recognizable verse-chorus form with prog elements. Odd time signature accents (bars of 7/8 in verses) but mostly 4/4 groove. Minimal synth accents for clarity. Energizing but grounded—build once, use forever. Sharp, optimistic, empowering.
Lyrics
The codebase runs, the tests pass clean
But when the agent tries to help, it can't see
What you infer from naming and place
It only reads what you make explicit in space
Architecture that speaks
Clarifies for all
Not just humans reading code
But systems answering the call
Signal not silence, structure not guessing
Make it legible, make it clear
Signal not silence, breadcrumbs not blessing
Agents need what's here
Build it once, navigate forever
Signal not silence
Diagnostic errors that explain the why
Interactive paths that let you try
Centralized index from the root
Documentation that computes
Explicit beats implicit
When scaling what you build
The gap is just a retuning
Not a mountain you can't climb
Signal not silence, structure not guessing
Make it legible, make it clear
Signal not silence, indexing not stressing
Agents read what's here
Build it once, navigate forever
Signal not silence
Not a rewrite, just a shift
Make visible what you already know
The architecture clarifies itself
And everyone moves with better flow
Signal not silence, structure not guessing
Explicit beats assumed
Signal not silence, codebases confessing
What they do, fully tuned
Build it once, navigate forever
Signal not silence
Build permanent capability
Signal not silence
Make it legible, make it clear
Make it legible, make it clear
