ICM helps me work through even what I didn't know I didn't know

We're not experts in every field and sometimes you just don't know what you don't know. I've been working on a project for a business idea and based on a lot of hate I've seen in social media directed towards vibe coders I've taken note of things I might miss in my development.

However, by following ICM I've noticed how easy it has been for me to develop my app and then pause and ask claude to help me design what I call a new persona to work on a very specific task.

Latest example of this was me telling claude that I am worried someone might find vulnerabilities or back doors in my app and exploit those to get access to my API or supabase or whatever. By describing my concerns and what type of solution I was looking for Claude came up with a Claude.md and Context.md files for a pentest persona. Put those in a folder in my project and now whenever I want to do any type of test like that I just ask for it to do it!.

I've done this and now I have, business owners, software auditors, legal advisors, pentester, VC Investors, Branding specialists and some others in my workflow.

It just comes to show how incredibly flexible and repeatable this methodology is.
