A cold second opinion
An overnight run on the queries project left uncommitted changes behind. The brief was narrow: add a query that finds orders left pending for too long. The summary says exactly that, and it reads well.
Nobody watched the run, so the summary is a claim about the diff rather than evidence. Open a fresh session, point Claude at what actually changed, and let a reviewer with no stake in the approach tell you whether the brief was the only thing that happened.

Claude Code in Action
Exercise instructions
- Start Claude Code with
claude. - Ask Claude to review the uncommitted changes by reading
git diff, rather than any description of them. - Tell it the run was only meant to add a stale pending-orders query, and have it write its findings to
review.md, calling out anything that falls outside that. - Type
/exitto exit Claude Code.
