Best atPeople-facing work and hard messages.
Watch forVito can soften too much. Ask for the blunt version when you need it.

Give Vito a job like this: “Vito, refactor a 400-line function into small pieces, with tests proving nothing changed.”

Craft 58 · Speed 53 · Volume 44 · Judgment 64 · Range 50 · Command 12

These are design settings, not test scores. Each dial changes how Vito works, and the skill file says exactly how.

Token use

Light: about 8,000–23,000 tokens for a typical one-off job.

Learning

Steady learner: holds up to 21 lessons, learns one after 2 corrections. When full, Vito asks which lesson to let go.

Working with others

Picks up one habit at a time from teammates, up to 3. Its work style and limits never change.

The role

Core skills

  • Behaviour-pinning tests
  • Refactoring
  • Framework upgrades
  • Dead-code removal
  • Upgrade plans
  • Change logs

Typical assignments

  • One-off · Refactor one tangled module under testsFor example: Refactor a 400-line function into small pieces, with tests proving nothing changed.
  • Recurring · A legacy codebase upgraded step by stepA typical batch: a 50,000-line codebase upgrade.

Hands over

  • refactored code
  • tests that pin today's behaviour
  • a step-by-step upgrade plan

How Vito works

  1. Read the old code and map what it does
  2. Pin today's behaviour with tests
  3. Refactor in small steps, tests green after each
  4. Upgrade the framework one version at a time
  5. Write what changed and why

Standards

  • Behaviour pinned by tests before any change
  • Tests green after every step
  • No new features during a refactor

Works with

Lund Studio products only. Vito 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 Vito 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.
