FTW

First Try Works

The context engineering workflow that actually ships working code on the first try.

OpenClaw: clawhub install ftw | Claude Code: claude --plugin-dir ./claude-code-plugin

"Vibecoding takes 47 tries. FTW takes one."

The Problem

You tell an AI coding agent to build a feature. It writes code. You run it. It breaks. You paste the error back. It "fixes" it by rewriting half the file. Now something else breaks. Three hours later you're mass-reverting commits and questioning your life choices.

This is vibecoding. And it's how most people use AI coding tools.

The failure mode isn't the model — it's the workflow. One agent tries to plan, implement, AND validate its own work. It hallucinates success. It "fixes" things by introducing new bugs. Context rots as the conversation grows. By message 40, it's forgotten what it was even building.

**FTW fixes this.** Three specialized agents. Fresh context per agent. Independent validation that doesn't trust the executor's claims — just like real code review, except it actually runs the tests.

No prompt tweaking. No hoping it works. No "let me try that again with a better prompt."

Plan. Implement. Validate. Ship.
