Claude Code 7 iterations

  1. Claude #1 Claude #1 Built like a movement shelved An exploding mechanical watch movement: mainplate = diagram, jewels = interviews, mainspring = voice, gear train = backlog, escapement = agents, dial = systems. Shelved: the metaphor needed translating and the scene was cluttered. components/explainers/Explainer01Watch.astro + lib/explainers/01-watch/scene.ts
  2. Claude #2 Claude #2 Build Order (RTS) ready A real-time-strategy base builder on a fixed isometric board: dev3lop is the HQ. The dev3lop cursor scouts your systems, interviews your people, turns speech into a build queue and sends 4,096 agents to build it; every cloud, database and API runs a supply line to HQ; then the map is replayed with four vendors and an illustrative J-curve shows profit growing. Judges ranked the pitch #1. components/explainers/Explainer02Rts.astro + lib/explainers/02-rts/
  3. Claude #3 Claude #3 Profit Line (transit map) ready A calm, flat Mini Metro-style transit map: dev3lop is the one operator. Stations are your systems and people, dashed track is the plan and solid track is built. Interviews meet at one broken handoff, transcripts become 12 numbered tickets, 3,072 agents lay the track, every cloud, database, API and app line runs through one hub, then the map breaks into four vendors and reconnects. components/explainers/Explainer03Metro.astro + lib/explainers/03-metro/
  4. Claude #4 Claude #4 Tycoon ready An isometric tycoon campaign in 10 levels: each level unlocks one building for one step of the process and a named dev3lop cursor plays it, from mapping your systems to drag-selecting 2,048 agents and piping in every resource. Hard mode splits the board between four vendor cursors so profit leaks, then an illustrative year fast-forwards. components/explainers/Explainer04Tycoon.astro + lib/explainers/04-tycoon/
  5. Claude #5 Claude #5 The Build Line (factory) on homepage A Shapez/Factorio-style conveyor factory with a quest log and item hotbar: voice becomes transcripts, transcripts become tickets traced to a person, 2,048 agent bots stream from the tower through the rack into the build bay, and your clouds and databases plug into one line. Then the same factory splits between four vendors and stalls until the glue goes back on. components/explainers/Explainer05Factory.astro + lib/explainers/05-factory/
  6. Claude #6 Claude #6 The Build Quest (RPG) ready A quest-driven RPG overworld of your company: the dev3lop party (six roles, one team) maps the towns, interviews the people and connects their quotes, types out the transcript under the voice, posts STORY-214, and sends 2,048 agents across the map. Then the same map is replayed as separate vendors (profit leaks at 4 handoffs) and as one team (gold roads, a J-curve). components/explainers/Explainer06Rpg.astro + lib/explainers/06-rpg/
  7. Claude #7 Claude #7 ONE HQ (panel pick) ready The judge panel's synthesis: the RTS base with the best grafts from every other pitch — a named dev3lop cursor, one problem thread (the re-keyed CRM export) through every level, inbound vs outbound trunks, and a Glue ON/OFF profit toggle. components/explainers/Explainer07OneHq.astro + lib/explainers/07-one-hq/

Codex 3 iterations

  1. Codex C1 Codex C1 Every moving part imported Codex iteration 1: an exploded precision watch you can drag and assemble, with a guided six-phase story (Discover, Listen, Translate, Orchestrate, Deliver, Compound) and the cloud, data and stack names streaming into one shared context. ~/Documents/ChatGPT/dev3/watch-explainer (port 4317)
  2. Codex C2 Codex C2 Inside every moving part imported Codex iteration 2: every step opens its own animated 3D process scene lifted out of the watch — interviews converging on a shared requirement, a typed transcript with NLP extraction into backlog item INT-014, four clusters of 512 agents with a human release gate, systems converging on dev3lop, and a spatial growth chart you can disconnect. ~/Documents/ChatGPT/dev3/watch-explainer-v2 (port 4318)
  3. Codex C7 Codex C7 Living architecture · final imported Codex iteration 7, its latest: adds a plain-language guide for all 32 buildings (what each does, when it helps, a concrete example) and opens in exploration mode with an opt-in tour. ~/Documents/ChatGPT/dev3/watch-explainer-v3-architecture (port 4320)
