`Karpathy` coding discipline repackaged for free-plan chat workflows

A reusable system prompt turns Karpathy-style coding discipline into a chat-first workflow. It fits free plans well when context is tight and mistakes are expensive.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. It forces verifiable done criteria, explicit assumptions, and ambiguity checks before any code, which cuts avoidable rewrites.
  2. The package targets no terminal, no subagents, and short context windows, so it fits plain chat and lightweight IDE flows better than agentic tooling.
  3. Deployment is simple: paste it into custom instructions or a system prompt and let it trigger on coding requests.
  4. The value is process, not capability; useful when you want fewer wrong first drafts, but it will feel heavy for trivial edits.
