Proof of Thought (Pot)

The core idea—make the assistant refuse to write code until you prove you understand the problem—is a sharp behavioral hack that could really change how people use copilots. The repo/article shows a mode table (temperature, allowed tools like write/edit/bash/read/grep) and an explicit permission model, which is a useful blueprint. Right now it reads like a well-argued workflow and config proposal rather than a plug-and-play tool: I'd want an editor/CLI integration or enforcement layer before I call it a must-use.
