Driver
Solo builders shipping finance or quant tools with Claude Code who want a staged methodology instead of jumping straight to code.
Overview

Community signal: 3 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Builders jump straight to code on finance tools without research, validation, or packaged deliverables, so models and agents ship unverified quant logic.
Who is it for?
Indie quant or fintech builders using Claude Code who want a full lifecycle ritual, not one-off prompts.
Skip if: Teams that only need a single integration skill or non-finance greenfield apps with no modeling discipline.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You run Define→Reflect with iron laws at each step and end with validated, self-contained finance tooling plus documented learnings.
- Validated finance or quant tool runnable in your environment
- Self-contained export from Evolve stage
- Reflect-stage notes on what failed and why

Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
DRIVER™ starts at Define (discover vision and domain research), which maps to the earliest commitment phase before represent/implement work. The Define stage’s iron law—no building without 分头研究 (split research) first—anchors the catalog shelf on structured discovery and problem framing.
How it compares
Journey-wide methodology marketplace, not a single-task MCP server or generic code generator.
