Why it exists

Smart people rarely stall for lack of a plan — planning is the comfortable part. Wendy is a coaching layer distilled from James Lim's public videos on exactly that failure mode: an overtrained planner-self and an undertrained doer-self. Installed, it does four things. It coaches you out of a block on demand — diagnosis first, then one deliberately small next step. It quietly biases every plan Claude writes toward steps that touch reality instead of producing another document. It shapes your daily task list so items arrive pre-decided and safe to just send. And it gates new project ideas behind a finish-before-start rule with sober revenue math. Calibration lives in a local profile seeded by a short intake quiz — your answers stay on your machine, never in the repo.

In practice

Stuck on shipping

Input

coach me — why haven't I shipped this?

Output

Runs 2–3 diagnostic questions (when did this last touch a real user? has the stated reason ever changed?), names the block, then hands back one shrunk step and the uncomfortable signal to expect when it lands.

New idea appears

Input

should I build a tool that does X?

Output

Checks what's already mid-takeoff and which existing project is closest to its next dollar. If those come first, it says which concrete steps — and asks what starting X lets you avoid.
