The Zero-Bullshit Protocol – Hallucination-Proof AI Engineering System

I spent the last year (2,080+ hours, 8–12 h days) turning LLMs into the paranoid senior engineer every dev wishes they had.

Turns out what we needed was the Scientific Method for LLMs.

→ Forces the model to list every possible hypothesis instead of marrying the first one

→ Stress-tests each hypothesis before writing a single line

→ Refuses to touch files until the plan survives rigorous scrutiny

→ Full audit trail, zero unrecoverable states, zero infinite loops

95%+ hallucination reduction in real daily use.

Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Llama 3.1, local models.

Why this protocol exists (real failures I watched for months):

I watched Cursor agents and GitHub Copilot lie to my face.

They’d say “Done – file replaced” while the file stayed untouched.

They’d claim “whitespace mismatch” when nothing changed.

They’d succeed on two files and silently skip the third.

I tried every model (GPT-4, Claude 3.5, Gemini 1.5, even O3-mini).

Same “False Compliance” every time.

The only thing that finally worked 100 % of the time was forcing the LLM to act like a paranoid senior engineer — never letting it “helpfully” reinterpret a brute-force command.

That’s exactly what this protocol does.

No theory. No agent worship. Just the rules that turned months of rage into reliable output.

You get:

• Full Zero-Bullshit Protocol™ (clean Markdown)

• Quick-Start guide

• Lifetime updates on the $299 tier

$99 → Launch Price (one-time)

$299 → Lifetime Access + all future updates forever

If you’ve ever had an AI agent swear it did something it didn’t… this is the fix.

Hallucinating is an inherent characteristic of LLMs.
