Pilot Shell makes Claude Code production-ready. You get plans you can review before a single line is written, tests that are enforced — not optional, knowledge that persists across sessions, and quality gates that run automatically on every edit.

No more re-explaining decisions, chasing skipped tests, or reviewing 15-file changes that were never scoped. Pilot adds the structure that turns fast AI output into reliable production code.

• Reliable output — every feature goes through plan → implement → verify, with TDD at each step
• Persistent context — architectural decisions, patterns, and project knowledge survive across sessions
• Automatic quality — linting, formatting, type checking, and test enforcement happen as hooks, not suggestions
• Full visibility — a local dashboard shows what's running, what changed, and what it cost

Pilot enhances Claude Code with:

• 15 hooks across 7 lifecycle events for automatic quality enforcement
• 6 MCP servers for library docs, memory, web search, code search, page fetching, and code intelligence
• 3 language servers (Python, TypeScript, Go) for real-time diagnostics
• Intelligent model routing — Opus for planning, Sonnet for implementation
• Persistent memory via local SQLite — decisions and context survive across sessions
• Pilot Console — local web dashboard for monitoring, configuration, and skill sharing
