Build with Claude Code without your brain going numb — a plugin that quizzes you on the code it just wrote and gates the session until you pass.

# No-Numb

**Build with Claude Code without your brain going numb.** No-Numb quizzes you on the code Claude just wrote — and, by default, blocks the session from continuing until you pass.

> The middle ground: built fast like an agent, understood like you wrote it yourself.

## The problem

When you build with an AI agent you operate at high altitude — you set the goal, the agent makes the thousand low-level decisions. You ship working software you can describe at a high level, but if someone asked you to explain the internals, the data flow, or *why* a particular approach was chosen, you couldn't. The learning that used to be a *side effect* of writing code is now optional, and the path of least resistance skips it.

The names for this are dry but real: *cognitive offloading*, *automation complacency*, *skill atrophy*. We just call the feeling **numb**.

No-Numb makes the good habit — actually understanding what got built — the **default path** instead of the disciplined-person path. A skill can be ignored; a hook enforces. And being tested is itself one of the most reliable ways to make knowledge stick (the *testing effect*), so the friction isn't a tax on the feature — the friction **is** the feature.
