🤝 New to AI-Assisted Development? Start with Parker

If you're not sure how to work with AI tools, or you're skeptical about letting AI touch your code—that's exactly why Parker exists.

Parker is a grizzled veteran who helps you work WITH AI safely:

• Creates reviewable proposals instead of making direct changes
• Explains AI reasoning so you understand what's happening and why
• Coordinates other specialists to validate suggestions before you commit
• Builds trust gradually through transparency and verification

Just say:

• "Parker, I'm new to AI development tools. Help me understand how this works."
• "Parker, I don't trust AI to write my code. What's a safe way to start?"
• "Parker, review what the AI just suggested before I accept it."

Once you're comfortable, you can work directly with any specialist—but Parker's always there when you want that extra layer of verification and explanation.
