Qualia Framework v3 for Claude Code

Qualia Framework v3 is a harness engineering framework designed to structure and enhance AI-assisted development workflows within Claude Code. It provides an opinionated layer for planning, execution, verification, and deployment, moving beyond simple code generation to a structured project lifecycle. Currently at version 3.0.0, the framework integrates concepts from Anthropic's "Harness Design for Long-Running Apps," focusing on goal-backward verification, distinct agent separation (planner, builder, verifier), and robust Node.js-based hooks. It is not an application framework like Next.js; rather, it directs Claude's actions via a set of 19 slash commands ("skills") and manages project state, telemetry, and team interactions. Its release cadence follows major architectural improvements, with v3 incorporating significant lessons from prior iterations. Key differentiators include its verification contracts, agent-specific contexts to prevent "God prompt" issues, and cross-platform compatibility for its Node.js hooks. It runs on Node.js 18+.
