# Traditional Approach (Hands-on Developer)
"Please read the file src/auth.ts, then add a new function called
validateToken that takes a token string and returns a boolean..."
# Director Mode Approach
"Implement JWT token validation following our security guidelines.
Ensure test coverage and integrate with existing auth flow."
# Your AI team autonomously:
# → Explores codebase structure
# → Identifies security patterns
# → Implements with tests
# → Validates against project blueprintYour CLAUDE.md is Your Blueprint
