• minimalist-surgical-development

  Use when editing an existing codebase and the goal is minimal, standard, and non-invasive changes - prioritizes simplest solution, standard libraries first, and surgical modification without unsolicited refactors

• uncertainty-verification

  Use when providing exact commands, flags, config keys, file paths, API details, standards, or version-specific behavior - enforces verification via official docs (Context7/web fetch), explicit citations, and bans assumption-based specifics

• verification-before-completion

  Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always

• root-cause-tracing

  Use when errors occur deep in execution and you need to trace back to find the original trigger - systematically traces bugs backward through call stack, adding instrumentation when needed, to identify source of invalid data or incorrect behavior

  13
