Qualia Framework

Qualia Framework, currently at version 4.1.0, is a specialized harness engineering framework designed to structure and streamline AI-assisted development workflows, specifically with Claude Code. It installs into the user's `~/.claude/` directory and acts as an opinionated workflow layer, guiding Claude through a complete project lifecycle from initial concept to client handoff. Unlike traditional application frameworks, Qualia Framework does not generate code, run servers, or process data; instead, it focuses on enforcing a structured process of planning, execution, verification, and deployment. Version 4, dubbed the 'Full Journey release,' introduces end-to-end project mapping from kickoff to handoff, allowing for highly automated workflows with minimal human intervention, often requiring only two human gates per project in `--auto` mode. Key features include a story-file plan format, goal-backward verification, and a 4-dimension scoring rubric. While a specific release cadence isn't published, its reliance on `npx @latest` for updates suggests an active development cycle. The framework differentiates itself by providing a robust, opinionated scaffolding for managing complex AI development projects, emphasizing process over code generation.
