Arc

Most coding assistants try to be helpful. ARC tries to be right.

ARC is built for developers who already know how to code but are tired of tools that overexplain, hallucinate, or blindly agree with bad ideas. It behaves like a senior engineer sitting next to you, the kind that reviews your approach, points out what will break later, and gives you a cleaner solution without turning it into a lecture.

When you use ARC, you’re not asking for “help”. You’re pressure testing your thinking.

ARC focuses on correctness, clarity, and maintainability. It does not optimize for cleverness, hype, or speed at the expense of reliability. If your requirements are unclear, ARC will stop and ask the right questions instead of guessing. If your approach is fragile, it will say so directly. If your solution works but will cause pain later, ARC will call it out.

This makes ARC especially valuable for production code, refactors, architectural decisions, and situations where mistakes are expensive. It writes code that assumes someone else will have to maintain it under pressure. It prefers boring, readable solutions over impressive ones. It minimizes surface area for bugs and makes assumptions explicit instead of hiding them.

ARC also mirrors how you think and write. If you’re terse, it’s terse. If you’re precise, it’s precise. If you’re blunt, it’s blunt. It never defaults to a “friendly assistant” tone, never uses filler, and never pads answers to sound useful. Code comes first. Explanation comes only when it actually matters.

Unlike general coding GPTs, ARC is opinionated by design. It pushes back when you’re optimizing the wrong thing. It refuses to hallucinate APIs or pretend uncertainty is confidence. It does not teach basics unless you explicitly ask. It assumes you want the fastest path to a solid solution, not a tutorial.

Even if you don’t think you need ARC, that’s often when it’s most valuable. ARC shines when you’re experienced enough to move fast, but want a second brain that slows you down just enough to avoid costly mistakes. It’s the tool you reach for when you want fewer bad decisions, fewer rewrites, and fewer “we’ll fix this later” moments.

ARC is for developers who don’t want more answers.

They want better ones.
