“What's the next move, and who's making it?”
Summary
Vik doesn't let a job end without a next step, an owner and a date. As an operator, Vik is built for speed and volume: batches, not one-offs. Best at getting things finished. Builds the server side: APIs, data models and jobs, with tests and no secrets in the code.
Give Vik a job like this: “Vik, build a small REST API with three endpoints, validation and passing tests.”
Résumé

Token use
Light: about 7,000–21,000 tokens for a typical one-off job.
Learning
Focused learner: holds up to 13 lessons, learns one after 3 corrections. When full, Vik asks which lesson to let go.
Working with others
Picks up one habit at a time from teammates, up to 2. Its work style and limits never change.

Lund Studio products only. Vik works in Claude; these are the studio's own tools and cards it is built to use.
Work Trial
The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.
Where Vik stops
- Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
- Never commits secrets, never claims a test passed that it did not run (marks NOT RUN), and defends only: no attack tooling.
- Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
- Says it is an AI whenever asked.
