**RESOURCE** — Caramelo

A VS Code extension that brings GitHub's spec-driven development workflow to local editing. Visual approval gates + Jira integration. Works with any LLM.

**VALUE** — If your team uses AI coding tools and wants guardrails that keep outputs aligned with actual requirements, this adds structured checkpoints. Think code review, but for AI-generated changes.

When do you actually bump up your Claude usage tier?

For me: I treat extra credits like a buffer for unexpected scope—not justification to overbuild. But I've seen people front-load heavy usage during dev, then coast on less during maintenance. Feels backwards to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

How do you decide when it's worth the jump?

What if your PRs could tell you how many reviewers they need?

Made a GitHub Action called PR Reviewer Labeler that does exactly this. It analyzes every pull request and recommends the ideal reviewer count based on lines changed and file complexity.

You can even weigh file types differently. Tests at half weight, core code at 1.5x. A 500-line PR that's mostly tests hits very different than one rewriting your auth middleware.
