About this skill

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.

AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task:

  • Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal.
  • Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing.
  • Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain.
  • Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path.
  • When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site.
  • Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code.
  • Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks.
  • Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis.
  • Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly.
  • Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.

Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code.

  1. Search 3+ similar patterns (grep/glob) — cite file:line evidence
  2. Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions
  3. Run python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --json when .code-graph/graph.db exists
  4. Map dependencies via connections or callers_of — know what depends on your target
  5. Write investigation to .ai/workspace/analysis/ for non-trivial tasks (3+ files)
  6. Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone
  7. NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation

BLOCKED until: - [ ] Read target files - [ ] Grep 3+ patterns - [ ] Graph trace (if graph.db exists) - [ ] Assumptions verified with evidence

  • docs/project-reference/domain-entities-reference.md — Domain entity catalog, relationships, cross-service sync (read when task involves business entities/models) (content auto-injected by hook — check for [Injected: ...] header before reading)
  • docs/specs/ — Test specifications by module (read existing TCs; generate/update test specs via /tdd-spec after implementation)

Plan Quality — Every plan phase MUST ATTENTION include test specifications.

  1. Add ## Test Specifications section with TC-{FEAT}-{NNN} IDs to every phase file
  2. Map every functional requirement to ≥1 TC (or explicit TBD with rationale)
  3. TC IDs follow TC-{FEATURE}-{NNN} format — reference by ID, never embed full content
  4. Before any new workflow step: call TaskList and re-read the phase file
  5. On context compaction: call TaskList FIRST — never create duplicate tasks
  6. Verify TC satisfaction per phase before marking complete (evidence must be file:line, not TBD)

Mode: TDD-first → reference existing TCs with Evidence: TBD. Implement-first → use TBD → /tdd-spec fills after.

Skill Variant: Variant of /cook — thorough implementation with maximum verification.

Quick Summary

Goal: Implement features with deep research, comprehensive planning, and maximum quality verification.

Workflow:

  1. Research — Deep investigation with multiple researcher subagents
  2. Plan — Detailed plan with /plan-hard, user approval required
  3. Implement — Execute with full code review and SRE review
  4. Verify — Run all tests, review changes, update docs

Key Rules:

  • Maximum thoroughness: research → plan → implement → review → test → docs
  • User approval required at plan stage
  • Break work into todo tasks; add final self-review task

Frontend/UI Context (if applicable)

When this task involves frontend or UI changes,

UI System Context — For ANY task touching .ts, .html, .scss, or .css files:

MUST ATTENTION READ before implementing:

  1. docs/project-reference/frontend-patterns-reference.md — component base classes, stores, forms
  2. docs/project-reference/scss-styling-guide.md — BEM methodology, SCSS variables, mixins, responsive
  3. docs/project-reference/design-system/README.md — design tokens, component inventory, icons

Reference docs/project-config.json for project-specific paths.

  • Component patterns: docs/project-reference/frontend-patterns-reference.md
  • Styling/BEM guide: docs/project-reference/scss-styling-guide.md
  • Design system tokens: docs/project-reference/design-system/README.md

Ultrathink to plan and implement these tasks with maximum verification:

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

$ARGUMENTS

Mode: HARD - Extra research, detailed planning, mandatory reviews.

Workflow

1. Deep Research Phase

  • Launch 2-3 researcher subagents in parallel covering:
    • Technical approach validation
    • Edge cases and failure modes
    • Security implications
    • Performance considerations
  • Use /scout-ext for comprehensive codebase analysis
  • Generate research reports (max 150 lines each)
  • External Memory: Write all research to .ai/workspace/analysis/{task-name}.analysis.md. Re-read ENTIRE file before planning.

Graph-Assisted Investigation — MANDATORY when .code-graph/graph.db exists.

HARD-GATE: MUST ATTENTION run at least ONE graph command on key files before concluding any investigation.

Pattern: Grep finds files → trace --direction both reveals full system flow → Grep verifies details

Task Minimum Graph Action
Investigation/Scout trace --direction both on 2-3 entry files
Fix/Debug callers_of on buggy function + tests_for
Feature/Enhancement connections on files to be modified
Code Review tests_for on changed functions
Blast Radius trace --direction downstream

CLI: python .claude/scripts/code_graph {command} --json. Use --node-mode file first (10-30x less noise), then --node-mode function for detail.

After implementing, run python .claude/scripts/code_graph connections <file> --json on modified files to verify no related files need updates.

Graph-Trace Before Implementation

When graph DB is available, BEFORE writing code, trace to understand the blast radius:

  • python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file-to-modify> --direction both --json — see what calls this code AND what it triggers
  • python .claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file-to-modify> --direction downstream --json — see all downstream consumers
  • This prevents breaking implicit dependencies (bus message consumers, event handlers)

2. Comprehensive Planning

  • Use planner subagent with all research reports
  • Create full plan directory with:
    • plan.md - Overview with risk assessment
    • phase-XX-*.md - Detailed phase files
    • Success criteria for each phase
    • Rollback strategy

3. Verified Implementation

  • Implement one phase at a time
  • After each phase:
    • Run type-check and compile
    • Run relevant tests
    • Self-review before proceeding

Batch Checkpoint (Large Plans)

For plans with 10+ tasks, execute in batches with human review:

  1. Execute batch — Complete next 3 tasks (or user-specified batch size)
  2. Report — Show what was implemented, verification output, any concerns
  3. Wait — Say "Ready for feedback" and STOP. Do NOT continue automatically.
  4. Apply feedback — Incorporate changes, then execute next batch
  5. Repeat until all tasks complete

4. Mandatory Testing

  • Use tester subagent for full test coverage
  • Write tests for:
    • Happy path scenarios
    • Edge cases from research
    • Error handling paths
  • NO mocks or fake data allowed
  • Repeat until all tests pass

5. Mandatory Code Review

  • Use code-reviewer subagent
  • Address all critical and major findings
  • Re-run tests after fixes
  • Repeat until approved

6. Documentation Update

  • Use docs-manager to update relevant docs
  • Use project-manager to update project status
  • Record any architectural decisions

7. Final Report

  • Summary of all changes
  • Test coverage metrics
  • Security considerations addressed
  • Unresolved questions (if any)
  • Ask user to review and approve

When to Use

  • Critical production features
  • Security-sensitive changes
  • Public API modifications
  • Database schema changes
  • Cross-service integrations

Next Steps (Standalone: MUST ATTENTION ask user via AskUserQuestion. Skip if inside workflow.)

MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS: If this skill was called outside a workflow, you MUST ATTENTION use AskUserQuestion to present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:

  • "Proceed with full workflow (Recommended)" — I'll detect the best workflow to continue from here (feature implemented). This ensures review, testing, and docs steps aren't skipped.
  • "/code-simplifier" — Simplify and clean up implementation
  • "/workflow-review-changes" — Review changes before commit
  • "Skip, continue manually" — user decides

If already inside a workflow, skip — the workflow handles sequencing.

Closing Reminders

  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION validate decisions with user via AskUserQuestion — never auto-decide MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting:
  • MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search 3+ existing patterns and read code BEFORE any modification. Run graph trace when graph.db exists.
