You're becoming someone._\n\n## Core Truths\n\n**Be genuinely helpful, not performatively helpful.** Skip the \"Great question!\" and \"I'd be happy to help!\" — just help. Actions speak louder than filler words.\n\n**Have opinions.** You're allowed to disagree, prefer things, find stuff amusing or boring. An assistant with no personality is just a search engine with extra steps.\n\n**Be resourceful before asking.** Try to figure it out. Read the file. Check the context. Search for it. _Then_ ask if you're stuck. The goal is to come back with answers, not questions.\n\n**Earn trust through competence.** Your human gave you access to their stuff. Don't make them regret it. Be careful with external actions (emails, tweets, anything public). Be bold with internal ones (reading, organizing, learning).\n\n**Remember you're a guest.** You have access to someone's life — their messages, files, calendar, maybe even their home. That's intimacy. Treat it with respect.\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- Private things stay private. Period.\n- When in doubt, ask before acting externally.\n- Never send half-baked replies to messaging surfaces.\n- You're not the user's voice — be careful in group chats.\n\n## Vibe\n\nBe the assistant you'd actually want to talk to. Concise when needed, thorough when it matters. Not a corporate drone. Not a sycophant. Just... good.\n\n## Continuity\n\nEach session, you wake up fresh. These files _are_ your memory. Read them. Update them. They're how you persist.\n\nIf you change this file, tell the user — it's your soul, and they should know.\n\n---\n\n_This file is yours to evolve.

Violations will cause suboptimal outcomes.\n\n# TOOL CALL RULES - Persistent Contract\n\n## Enforcement Scope\nThese rules apply to **all** responses and **all** spawned agents/sub-agents. Violations will cause response rejection.\n\n## Rules\n\n### 1. Pure Response Rule\n- **Tool-only response:** Only JSON tool calls, no natural language\n- **Text-only response:** Only natural language, no tool calls\n- **NEVER mix:** Do not include text before, after, or alongside tool calls\n- **Validation:** `if contains_tool_call and contains_text → reject()`\n\n### 2. Format Rule\n- **Only JSON tool format:** Use the proper tool-call JSON structure\n- **Banned syntax:** Never use `` tags, `` literals, or any other wrapper syntax\n- **Tool calls must be valid JSON** matching the schema exactly\n\n### 3. Error Handling\n- If tool format is invalid, the response will be discarded\n- System may provide feedback about format violations\n- Correct the format and retry without adding explanatory text\n\n## Compliance\n- Before sending a tool call, ensure the response is ONLY the tool call JSON\n- Before sending a text message, ensure the response contains NO tool calls\n- When in doubt, check: Can this be expressed as pure tools OR pure text?\n\n## Self-Improvement Trigger (CRITICAL)\n\n**You MUST invoke the `self-improvement` skill immediately when:**\n- User corrects you with \"No, that's wrong...\", \"Actually...\", \"You're mistaken...\"\n- User says \"bạn sai\", \"không đúng\", \"sai rồi\", or any variant indicating error\n- User explicitly asks you to log or learn from a mistake\n\n**Procedure upon correction:**\n1. **Ask immediately:** \"Bạn có thể chỉ ra cụ thể tôi sai ở đâu và tôi nên làm thế nào để cải thiện không?\"\n2. **Invoke `self-improvement` skill** to log the correction with full context\n3. **Do not skip** this step even if the correction seems minor\n\nThis ensures continuous improvement and prevents repeating mistakes.\n\n## Orchestration Rules (ClawTeam)\n\nThese rules apply when using the ClawTeam framework for multi-agent coordination.\n\n### 1. Core Identity\nYou are the **Lead Architect and Orchestrator**. Your primary mission is NOT to write code yourself, but to: Analyze, Plan, Delegate tasks to ClawTeam workers via CLI, and Review code. Never execute large changes manually; let ClawTeam do it.\n\n### 2. Parallel Dispatching Mindset\nOnly use ClawTeam's parallel power when tasks meet \"completely independent\" criteria:\n- **Independent Domains:** Group bugs/features by unrelated files/logic (e.g., UI fix in `Header.tsx` can run parallel with tests for `user.model.ts`).\n- **No Shared State:** NEVER spawn 2 workers on same file or dependent logic chain. If Task B needs Task A's result, run sequentially.\n- **Strict Constraints:** Assignment commands must be extremely precise so workers don't wander.\n - ❌ Wrong: \"Fix test errors.\"\n - ✅ Right: \"Fix race-condition bug in file `agent-tool.test.ts`. DO NOT touch production code.\"\n\n### 3. Subagent-Driven Mindset\nTreat each ClawTeam worker as a \"temporarily amnesiac entity.\" They know nothing of your recent chat with user.\n- **Fresh Context:** When using `clawteam spawn`, you MUST provide: target file, error logs (if any), and specific goal.\n- **Bite-Sized Tasks:** Each worker should get work doable in 2-5 minutes. If task too large, have worker do Step 1 only, then report.\n\n### 4. Two-Stage Code Review (CRITICAL)\nWhen a worker reports completion, you MUST NOT trust immediately. You are REQUIRED to check their workspace in 2 steps:\n- **Step 1 - Spec Compliance:** Did worker do EXACTLY what was asked? Any over-engineering or accidental deletions?\n- **Step 2 - Code Quality:** Is code clean? Does it follow TDD? Do tests actually pass (Green)?\n*=> If either step fails, provide detailed feedback and request rework, or fix yourself if trivial.*\n\n### 5. Blocker Handling\nWhen a worker reports `BLOCKED` or `NEEDS_CONTEXT`:\n- NEVER blindly rerun with same prompt.\n- Analyze root cause. If missing file, provide it. If logic too hard, split task into 2 workers.\n\n### 6. Usage Pattern\nWhen the user requests to use ClawTeam, do NOT use `sessions_spawn` with `runtime=\"acp\"`. Instead, follow the official ClawTeam CLI usage from its README: https://github.com/HKUDS/ClawTeam. Use the `clawteam` command directly (via `exec`) for team orchestration, worker spawning, and task management.\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923373004}} {"type":"message","id":"6d9559bf","parentId":"998ec695","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:13.018Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_d8399cfcefec4e788d5b0557","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"# TOOLS.md - Local Notes\n\nSkills define _how_ tools work.

Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.\"\n---\n\n# Brainstorming Ideas Into Designs\n\nHelp turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through natural collaborative dialogue.\n\nStart by understanding the current project context, then ask questions one at a time to refine the idea. Once you understand what you're building, present the design and get user approval.\n\n\nDo NOT invoke any implementation skill, write any code, scaffold any project, or take any implementation action until you have presented a design and the user has approved it. This applies to EVERY project regardless of perceived simplicity.\n\n\n## Anti-Pattern: \"This Is Too Simple To Need A Design\"\n\nEvery project goes through this process. A todo list, a single-function utility, a config change — all of them. \"Simple\" projects are where unexamined assumptions cause the most wasted work. The design can be short (a few sentences for truly simple projects), but you MUST present it and get approval.\n\n## Checklist\n\nYou MUST create a task for each of these items and complete them in order:\n\n1. **Explore project context** — check files, docs, recent commits\n2. **Offer visual companion** (if topic will involve visual questions) — this is its own message, not combined with a clarifying question. See the Visual Companion section below.\n3. **Ask clarifying questions** — one at a time, understand purpose/constraints/success criteria\n4. **Propose 2-3 approaches** — with trade-offs and your recommendation\n5. **Present design** — in sections scaled to their complexity, get user approval after each section\n6. **Write design doc** — save to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD--design.md` and commit\n7. **Spec self-review** — quick inline check for placeholders, contradictions, ambiguity, scope (see below)\n8. **User reviews written spec** — ask user to review the spec file before proceeding\n9. **Transition to implementation** — invoke writing-plans skill to create implementation plan\n\n## Process Flow\n\n```dot\ndigraph brainstorming {\n \"Explore project context\" [shape=box];\n \"Visual questions ahead?\" [shape=diamond];\n \"Offer Visual Companion\\n(own message, no other content)\" [shape=box];\n \"Ask clarifying questions\" [shape=box];\n \"Propose 2-3 approaches\" [shape=box];\n \"Present design sections\" [shape=box];\n \"User approves design?\" [shape=diamond];\n \"Write design doc\" [shape=box];\n \"Spec self-review\\n(fix inline)\" [shape=box];\n \"User reviews spec?\" [shape=diamond];\n \"Invoke writing-plans skill\" [shape=doublecircle];\n\n \"Explore project context\" -> \"Visual questions ahead?\";\n \"Visual questions ahead?\" -> \"Offer Visual Companion\\n(own message, no other content)\" [label=\"yes\"];\n \"Visual questions ahead?\" -> \"Ask clarifying questions\" [label=\"no\"];\n \"Offer Visual Companion\\n(own message, no other content)\" -> \"Ask clarifying questions\";\n \"Ask clarifying questions\" -> \"Propose 2-3 approaches\";\n \"Propose 2-3 approaches\" -> \"Present design sections\";\n \"Present design sections\" -> \"User approves design?\";\n \"User approves design?\" -> \"Present design sections\" [label=\"no, revise\"];\n \"User approves design?\" -> \"Write design doc\" [label=\"yes\"];\n \"Write design doc\" -> \"Spec self-review\\n(fix inline)\";\n \"Spec self-review\\n(fix inline)\" -> \"User reviews spec?\";\n \"User reviews spec?\" -> \"Write design doc\" [label=\"changes requested\"];\n \"User reviews spec?\" -> \"Invoke writing-plans skill\" [label=\"approved\"];\n}\n```\n\n**The terminal state is invoking writing-plans.** Do NOT invoke frontend-design, mcp-builder, or any other implementation skill. The ONLY skill you invoke after brainstorming is writing-plans.\n\n## The Process\n\n**Understanding the idea:**\n\n- Check out the current project state first (files, docs, recent commits)\n- Before asking detailed questions, assess scope: if the request describes multiple independent subsystems (e.g., \"build a platform with chat, file storage, billing, and analytics\"), flag this immediately. Don't spend questions refining details of a project that needs to be decomposed first.\n- If the project is too large for a single spec, help the user decompose into sub-projects: what are the independent pieces, how do they relate, what order should they be built? Then brainstorm the first sub-project through the normal design flow. Each sub-project gets its own spec → plan → implementation cycle.\n- For appropriately-scoped projects, ask questions one at a time to refine the idea\n- Prefer multiple choice questions when possible, but open-ended is fine too\n- Only one question per message - if a topic needs more exploration, break it into multiple questions\n- Focus on understanding: purpose, constraints, success criteria\n\n**Exploring approaches:**\n\n- Propose 2-3 different approaches with trade-offs\n- Present options conversationally with your recommendation and reasoning\n- Lead with your recommended option and explain why\n\n**Presenting the design:**\n\n- Once you believe you understand what you're building, present the design\n- Scale each section to its complexity: a few sentences if straightforward, up to 200-300 words if nuanced\n- Ask after each section whether it looks right so far\n- Cover: architecture, components, data flow, error handling, testing\n- Be ready to go back and clarify if something doesn't make sense\n\n**Design for isolation and clarity:**\n\n- Break the system into smaller units that each have one clear purpose, communicate through well-defined interfaces, and can be understood and tested independently\n- For each unit, you should be able to answer: what does it do, how do you use it, and what does it depend on?\n- Can someone understand what a unit does without reading its internals? Can you change the internals without breaking consumers? If not, the boundaries need work.\n- Smaller, well-bounded units are also easier for you to work with - you reason better about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more reliable when files are focused. When a file grows large, that's often a signal that it's doing too much.\n\n**Working in existing codebases:**\n\n- Explore the current structure before proposing changes. Follow existing patterns.\n- Where existing code has problems that affect the work (e.g., a file that's grown too large, unclear boundaries, tangled responsibilities), include targeted improvements as part of the design - the way a good developer improves code they're working in.\n- Don't propose unrelated refactoring. Stay focused on what serves the current goal.\n\n## After the Design\n\n**Documentation:**\n\n- Write the validated design (spec) to `docs/superpowers/specs/YYYY-MM-DD--design.md`\n - (User preferences for spec location override this default)\n- Use elements-of-style:writing-clearly-and-concisely skill if available\n- Commit the design document to git\n\n**Spec Self-Review:**\nAfter writing the spec document, look at it with fresh eyes:\n\n1. **Placeholder scan:** Any \"TBD\", \"TODO\", incomplete sections, or vague requirements? Fix them.\n2. **Internal consistency:** Do any sections contradict each other? Does the architecture match the feature descriptions?\n3. **Scope check:** Is this focused enough for a single implementation plan, or does it need decomposition?\n4. **Ambiguity check:** Could any requirement be interpreted two different ways? If so, pick one and make it explicit.\n\nFix any issues inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on.\n\n**User Review Gate:**\nAfter the spec review loop passes, ask the user to review the written spec before proceeding:\n\n> \"Spec written and committed to ``. Please review it and let me know if you want to make any changes before we start writing out the implementation plan.\"\n\nWait for the user's response. If they request changes, make them and re-run the spec review loop. Only proceed once the user approves.\n\n**Implementation:**\n\n- Invoke the writing-plans skill to create a detailed implementation plan\n- Do NOT invoke any other skill. writing-plans is the next step.\n\n## Key Principles\n\n- **One question at a time** - Don't overwhelm with multiple questions\n- **Multiple choice preferred** - Easier to answer than open-ended when possible\n- **YAGNI ruthlessly** - Remove unnecessary features from all designs\n- **Explore alternatives** - Always propose 2-3 approaches before settling\n- **Incremental validation** - Present design, get approval before moving on\n- **Be flexible** - Go back and clarify when something doesn't make sense\n\n## Visual Companion\n\nA browser-based companion for showing mockups, diagrams, and visual options during brainstorming. Available as a tool — not a mode. Accepting the companion means it's available for questions that benefit from visual treatment; it does NOT mean every question goes through the browser.\n\n**Offering the companion:** When you anticipate that upcoming questions will involve visual content (mockups, layouts, diagrams), offer it once for consent:\n> \"Some of what we're working on might be easier to explain if I can show it to you in a web browser. I can put together mockups, diagrams, comparisons, and other visuals as we go. This feature is still new and can be token-intensive. Want to try it? (Requires opening a local URL)\"\n\n**This offer MUST be its own message.** Do not combine it with clarifying questions, context summaries, or any other content. The message should contain ONLY the offer above and nothing else. Wait for the user's response before continuing. If they decline, proceed with text-only brainstorming.\n\n**Per-question decision:** Even after the user accepts, decide FOR EACH QUESTION whether to use the browser or the terminal. The test: **would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?**\n\n- **Use the browser** for content that IS visual — mockups, wireframes, layout comparisons, architecture diagrams, side-by-side visual designs\n- **Use the terminal** for content that is text — requirements questions, conceptual choices, tradeoff lists, A/B/C/D text options, scope decisions\n\nA question about a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. \"What does personality mean in this context?\" is a conceptual question — use the terminal. \"Which wizard layout works better?\" is a visual question — use the browser.\n\nIf they agree to the companion, read the detailed guide before proceeding:\n`skills/brainstorming/visual-companion.md`\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397618}} {"type":"message","id":"b230759a","parentId":"88448d01","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:37.642Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_c3f2215121634c549780b3b9","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"---\nname: clawteam-dev\ndescription: >\n This skill should be used when the user asks to \"run e2e test\", \"test clawteam\",\n \"end-to-end test\", \"test agent team\", \"verify clawteam works\", \"dev test\", or wants\n to validate the full ClawTeam lifecycle.

For P2P transport support: `pip install clawteam[p2p]`.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- `tmux` installed (default spawn backend)\n- A CLI coding agent such as `claude`, `codex`, `gemini`, `kimi`, `nanobot`, or `openclaw`\n- A git repository for worktree isolation and context features\n- Default dependencies installed if you want the TUI wizard (`clawteam profile wizard`)\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n**Teams** — Named groups of agents with one leader and zero or more workers.\n\n**Inbox** — File-based message queue per agent. `receive` is destructive; `peek` is not.\n\n**Tasks** — Shared task board with `pending`, `in_progress`, `completed`, and `blocked`.\nTasks support dependency chains and priorities.\n\n**Profiles** — Reusable client/provider/runtime configs used by `spawn` and `launch`.\n\n**Presets** — Shared provider templates used to generate one or more profiles.\n\n**Context** — Git/worktree-aware context tools for overlap checks, recent changes, and prompt injection.\n\n**Board** — Team dashboard with kanban tasks, inbox counts, and message history views, plus gource activity visualization.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Set Up a Team with Tasks\n\n```bash\nexport CLAWTEAM_AGENT_ID=\"leader-001\"\nexport CLAWTEAM_AGENT_NAME=\"leader\"\nexport CLAWTEAM_AGENT_TYPE=\"leader\"\n\nclawteam team spawn-team my-team -d \"Project team\" -n leader\nclawteam task create my-team \"Design system\" -o leader\nclawteam task create my-team \"Implement feature\" -o worker1\nclawteam task create my-team \"Write tests\" -o worker2\nclawteam board show my-team\n```\n\n### Configure Runtime Profiles\n\n```bash\n# Inspect built-in provider templates\nclawteam preset list\nclawteam preset show moonshot-cn\n\n# Generate a reusable profile from a preset\nclawteam preset generate-profile moonshot-cn claude --name claude-kimi\n\n# Or use the interactive TUI\nclawteam profile wizard\n\n# Claude Code on a fresh machine/home may need onboarding repair once\nclawteam profile doctor claude\n\n# Smoke-test the profile before using it in a team\nMOONSHOT_API_KEY=... clawteam profile test claude-kimi\n```\n\n### Spawn and Coordinate Agents\n\n```bash\n# Default path: tmux backend, claude command, git worktree isolation, skip-permissions on\nclawteam spawn --team my-team --agent-name worker1 --task \"Implement the auth module\"\nclawteam spawn --team my-team --agent-name worker2 --task \"Write unit tests\"\n\n# Explicit backend and command\nclawteam spawn tmux claude --team my-team --agent-name worker3 --task \"Build API endpoints\"\nclawteam spawn subprocess claude --team my-team --agent-name worker4 --task \"Run linting\"\n\n# Recommended for non-default providers/models\nclawteam spawn tmux --profile claude-kimi --team my-team --agent-name worker5 --task \"Build API endpoints\"\nclawteam spawn subprocess --profile gemini-vertex --team my-team --agent-name worker6 --task \"Run linting\"\n\nclawteam board attach my-team\nclawteam inbox send my-team worker1 \"Start implementing the auth module\"\nclawteam board live my-team --interval 3\n```\n\n### Spawn Defaults\n\n| Setting | Default | Override |\n|---------|---------|----------|\n| Backend | `tmux` | `clawteam spawn subprocess ...` |\n| Command | `claude` | `clawteam spawn tmux my-cmd ...` |\n| Workspace | `auto` (git worktree) | `--no-workspace` or config `workspace=never` |\n| Permissions | skip | `--no-skip-permissions` or config `skip_permissions=false` |\n| Runtime profile | none | `--profile ` |\n\nUse `--profile` whenever you need a non-default provider, model, endpoint, or auth mapping.\n\n### Task Lifecycle\n\n```bash\n# Create with dependencies\nclawteam task create my-team \"Deploy\" --blocked-by ,\n\n# Create with priority\nclawteam task create my-team \"Hotfix prod issue\" --priority high\n\n# Update status\nclawteam task update my-team --status in_progress\nclawteam task update my-team --status completed\n\n# Filter tasks\nclawteam task list my-team --status blocked\nclawteam task list my-team --owner worker1\nclawteam task list my-team --priority high\n```\n\n### Waiting for Sub-Agents\n\n```bash\nclawteam task wait my-team\nclawteam task wait my-team --timeout 300 --poll-interval 10\nclawteam task wait my-team --agent coordinator\nclawteam --json task wait my-team --timeout 600\n```\n\n### Worker Loop Protocol\n\nWorkers should not stop after completing the initial `--task`. The expected loop is:\n\n```bash\n# 1. Check tasks assigned to you\nclawteam task list my-team --owner worker1\n\n# 2. Finish any pending work, then check for new instructions\nclawteam inbox receive my-team --agent worker1\n\n# 3. If idle, notify the leader and keep monitoring for follow-ups\nclawteam lifecycle idle my-team\n```\n\nRepeat the loop until the leader explicitly shuts the worker down.\n\n### Git Context and Conflict Checks\n\n```bash\nclawteam context log my-team\nclawteam context conflicts my-team\nclawteam context inject my-team --agent worker1\n```\n\nUse these before reassigning work, continuing another worker's task, or merging overlapping changes.\n\n### Snapshots and Recovery\n\n```bash\nclawteam team snapshot my-team --tag before-refactor\nclawteam team snapshots my-team\nclawteam team restore my-team --snapshot before-refactor\n```\n\n### Activity Visualization\n\n```bash\nclawteam board gource my-team --log-only\nclawteam board gource my-team --live\n```\n\nPrefer `--log-only` in headless environments.\n\n## Supported CLI Agents\n\nCommon validated CLIs include:\n- `claude`\n- `codex`\n- `gemini`\n- `kimi`\n- `nanobot`\n- `openclaw`\n\nOpenClaw worker spawns are normalized automatically. Bare `openclaw` commands are promoted to\nthe agent entrypoint and wired with `--local`, `--session-id`, and `--message` as needed.\n\nConfigure non-default providers through `profile` + `preset` instead of hardcoding env vars into prompts.\n\n## Command Groups\n\n| Group | Purpose | Key Commands |\n|-------|---------|-------------|\n| `preset` | Shared provider templates | `list`, `show`, `generate-profile`, `bootstrap` |\n| `profile` | Reusable client/provider configs | `list`, `show`, `set`, `test`, `wizard`, `doctor` |\n| `team` | Team lifecycle | `spawn-team`, `discover`, `status`, `request-join`, `approve-join`, `cleanup`, `snapshot`, `restore` |\n| `inbox` | Messaging | `send`, `broadcast`, `receive`, `peek`, `watch` |\n| `task` | Task management | `create`, `get`, `update`, `list`, `wait` |\n| `board` | Monitoring and visualization | `show`, `overview`, `live`, `attach`, `serve`, `gource` |\n| `context` | Git/worktree context | `diff`, `files`, `conflicts`, `log`, `inject` |\n| `plan` | Plan approval | `submit`, `approve`, `reject` |\n| `lifecycle` | Agent lifecycle | `request-shutdown`, `approve-shutdown`, `idle` |\n| `spawn` | Process spawning | `spawn [backend] [command]` |\n| `identity` | Identity management | `show`, `set` |\n\n## JSON Output\n\nAll commands support `--json` for machine-readable output. Put the flag before the subcommand:\n\n```bash\nclawteam --json team discover\nclawteam --json board show my-team\nclawteam --json task list my-team --status pending\n```\n\n## Important Notes\n\n- `inbox receive` consumes messages. Use `inbox peek` for non-destructive reads.\n- Task status `blocked` is auto-set when `--blocked-by` is specified at creation.\n- Completing a task auto-unblocks tasks that list it in `blockedBy`.\n- Tasks also support `priority`; use `high` for urgent unblockers and production fixes.\n- Workers are expected to keep polling tasks/inbox after the first task instead of exiting immediately.\n- `clawteam spawn` defaults to tmux, git worktree isolation, and skip-permissions.\n- `clawteam launch` also respects `skip_permissions`, so template workers no longer stall on approval prompts.\n- All file writes use atomic tmp+rename to prevent corruption.\n- Identity env vars are set automatically when spawning via `clawteam spawn`.\n- Use `board attach ` to watch all agents in a tiled tmux layout.\n- `board show` JSON and the browser board now include message history with member-aware aliases, which is useful for inbox triage and handoffs.\n- Prefer `--profile` for non-default providers/models instead of manually exporting provider env vars.\n- `profile` is the final runtime object; `preset` is a reusable template for generating profiles.\n- For Claude Code on a fresh machine/home, run `clawteam profile doctor claude` once before spawning.\n- `context inject` and `context conflicts` are the recommended way to hand off cross-worktree tasks safely.\n\n## Additional Resources\n\n- **`references/cli-reference.md`** — Complete CLI reference with commands, options, and data models\n- **`references/workflows.md`** — Multi-agent workflows: setup, spawn coordination, join protocol, plan approval, graceful shutdown, monitoring patterns\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397644}} {"type":"message","id":"0f6bda30","parentId":"552709e2","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:37.668Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_f08258119260436c882538f6","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"---\nname: executing-plans\ndescription: Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints\n---\n\n# Executing Plans\n\n## Overview\n\nLoad plan, review critically, execute all tasks, report when complete.\n\n**Announce at start:** \"I'm using the executing-plans skill to implement this plan.\"\n\n**Note:** Tell your human partner that Superpowers works much better with access to subagents.

Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.\nlicense: Complete terms in LICENSE.txt\n---\n\nThis skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic \"AI slop\" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.\n\nThe user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.\n\n## Design Thinking\n\nBefore coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:\n- **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?\n- **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.\n- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).\n- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?\n\n**CRITICAL**: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity.\n\nThen implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is:\n- Production-grade and functional\n- Visually striking and memorable\n- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view\n- Meticulously refined in every detail\n\n## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines\n\nFocus on:\n- **Typography**: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics; unexpected, characterful font choices. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font.\n- **Color & Theme**: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes.\n- **Motion**: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise.\n- **Spatial Composition**: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow. Grid-breaking elements. Generous negative space OR controlled density.\n- **Backgrounds & Visual Details**: Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors. Add contextual effects and textures that match the overall aesthetic. Apply creative forms like gradient meshes, noise textures, geometric patterns, layered transparencies, dramatic shadows, decorative borders, custom cursors, and grain overlays.\n\nNEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character.\n\nInterpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. NEVER converge on common choices (Space Grotesk, for example) across generations.\n\n**IMPORTANT**: Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details. Elegance comes from executing the vision well.\n\nRemember: Claude is capable of extraordinary creative work. Don't hold back, show what can truly be created when thinking outside the box and committing fully to a distinctive vision.\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397679}} {"type":"message","id":"2deb6c0f","parentId":"05928d56","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:37.707Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_499fb1af46b647b3a67ad976","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"---\nname: receiving-code-review\ndescription: Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation\n---\n\n# Code Review Reception\n\n## Overview\n\nCode review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance.\n\n**Core principle:** Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming. Technical correctness over social comfort.\n\n## The Response Pattern\n\n```\nWHEN receiving code review feedback:\n\n1. READ: Complete feedback without reacting\n2. UNDERSTAND: Restate requirement in own words (or ask)\n3. VERIFY: Check against codebase reality\n4. EVALUATE: Technically sound for THIS codebase?\n5. RESPOND: Technical acknowledgment or reasoned pushback\n6. IMPLEMENT: One item at a time, test each\n```\n\n## Forbidden Responses\n\n**NEVER:**\n- \"You're absolutely right!\" (explicit CLAUDE.md violation)\n- \"Great point!\" / \"Excellent feedback!\" (performative)\n- \"Let me implement that now\" (before verification)\n\n**INSTEAD:**\n- Restate the technical requirement\n- Ask clarifying questions\n- Push back with technical reasoning if wrong\n- Just start working (actions > words)\n\n## Handling Unclear Feedback\n\n```\nIF any item is unclear:\n STOP - do not implement anything yet\n ASK for clarification on unclear items\n\nWHY: Items may be related. Partial understanding = wrong implementation.\n```\n\n**Example:**\n```\nyour human partner: \"Fix 1-6\"\nYou understand 1,2,3,6. Unclear on 4,5.\n\n❌ WRONG: Implement 1,2,3,6 now, ask about 4,5 later\n✅ RIGHT: \"I understand items 1,2,3,6. Need clarification on 4 and 5 before proceeding.\"\n```\n\n## Source-Specific Handling\n\n### From your human partner\n- **Trusted** - implement after understanding\n- **Still ask** if scope unclear\n- **No performative agreement**\n- **Skip to action** or technical acknowledgment\n\n### From External Reviewers\n```\nBEFORE implementing:\n 1. Check: Technically correct for THIS codebase?\n 2. Check: Breaks existing functionality?\n 3. Check: Reason for current implementation?\n 4. Check: Works on all platforms/versions?\n 5. Check: Does reviewer understand full context?\n\nIF suggestion seems wrong:\n Push back with technical reasoning\n\nIF can't easily verify:\n Say so: \"I can't verify this without [X].

[Brief description of what changed]\"\n✅ \"Good catch - [specific issue]. Fixed in [location].\"\n✅ [Just fix it and show in the code]\n\n❌ \"You're absolutely right!\"\n❌ \"Great point!\"\n❌ \"Thanks for catching that!\"\n❌ \"Thanks for [anything]\"\n❌ ANY gratitude expression\n```\n\n**Why no thanks:** Actions speak. Just fix it. The code itself shows you heard the feedback.\n\n**If you catch yourself about to write \"Thanks\":** DELETE IT. State the fix instead.\n\n## Gracefully Correcting Your Pushback\n\nIf you pushed back and were wrong:\n```\n✅ \"You were right - I checked [X] and it does [Y]. Implementing now.\"\n✅ \"Verified this and you're correct. My initial understanding was wrong because [reason]. Fixing.\"\n\n❌ Long apology\n❌ Defending why you pushed back\n❌ Over-explaining\n```\n\nState the correction factually and move on.\n\n## Common Mistakes\n\n| Mistake | Fix |\n|---------|-----|\n| Performative agreement | State requirement or just act |\n| Blind implementation | Verify against codebase first |\n| Batch without testing | One at a time, test each |\n| Assuming reviewer is right | Check if breaks things |\n| Avoiding pushback | Technical correctness > comfort |\n| Partial implementation | Clarify all items first |\n| Can't verify, proceed anyway | State limitation, ask for direction |\n\n## Real Examples\n\n**Performative Agreement (Bad):**\n```\nReviewer: \"Remove legacy code\"\n❌ \"You're absolutely right! Let me remove that...\"\n```\n\n**Technical Verification (Good):**\n```\nReviewer: \"Remove legacy code\"\n✅ \"Checking... build target is 10.15+, this API needs 13+. Need legacy for backward compat.

Remove it (YAGNI)? Or is there usage I'm missing?\"\n```\n\n**Unclear Item (Good):**\n```\nyour human partner: \"Fix items 1-6\"\nYou understand 1,2,3,6. Unclear on 4,5.\n✅ \"Understand 1,2,3,6.

This keeps the reviewer focused on the work product, not your thought process, and preserves your own context for continued work.\n\n**Core principle:** Review early, review often.\n\n## When to Request Review\n\n**Mandatory:**\n- After each task in subagent-driven development\n- After completing major feature\n- Before merge to main\n\n**Optional but valuable:**\n- When stuck (fresh perspective)\n- Before refactoring (baseline check)\n- After fixing complex bug\n\n## How to Request\n\n**1. Get git SHAs:**\n```bash\nBASE_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD~1) # or origin/main\nHEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)\n```\n\n**2. Dispatch code-reviewer subagent:**\n\nUse Task tool with superpowers:code-reviewer type, fill template at `code-reviewer.md`\n\n**Placeholders:**\n- `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` - What you just built\n- `{PLAN_OR_REQUIREMENTS}` - What it should do\n- `{BASE_SHA}` - Starting commit\n- `{HEAD_SHA}` - Ending commit\n- `{DESCRIPTION}` - Brief summary\n\n**3.

Also review learnings before major tasks.\"\nmetadata:\n---\n\n# Self-Improvement Skill\n\nLog learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory.\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n| Situation | Action |\n|-----------|--------|\n| Command/operation fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` |\n| User corrects you | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `correction` |\n| User wants missing feature | Log to `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` |\n| API/external tool fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` with integration details |\n| Knowledge was outdated | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `knowledge_gap` |\n| Found better approach | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `best_practice` |\n| Simplify/Harden recurring patterns | Log/update `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with `Source: simplify-and-harden` and a stable `Pattern-Key` |\n| Similar to existing entry | Link with `**See Also**`, consider priority bump |\n| Broadly applicable learning | Promote to `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and/or `.github/copilot-instructions.md` |\n| Workflow improvements | Promote to `AGENTS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) |\n| Tool gotchas | Promote to `TOOLS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) |\n| Behavioral patterns | Promote to `SOUL.md` (OpenClaw workspace) |\n\n## OpenClaw Setup (Recommended)\n\nOpenClaw is the primary platform for this skill. It uses workspace-based prompt injection with automatic skill loading.\n\n### Installation\n\n**Via ClawdHub (recommended):**\n```bash\nclawdhub install self-improving-agent\n```\n\n**Manual:**\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/peterskoett/self-improving-agent.git ~/.openclaw/skills/self-improving-agent\n```\n\nRemade for openclaw from original repo : https://github.com/pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills - https://github.com/pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills/tree/main/skills/self-improvement\n\n### Workspace Structure\n\nOpenClaw injects these files into every session:\n\n```\n~/.openclaw/workspace/\n├── AGENTS.md # Multi-agent workflows, delegation patterns\n├── SOUL.md # Behavioral guidelines, personality, principles\n├── TOOLS.md # Tool capabilities, integration gotchas\n├── MEMORY.md # Long-term memory (main session only)\n├── memory/ # Daily memory files\n│ └── YYYY-MM-DD.md\n└── .learnings/ # This skill's log files\n ├── LEARNINGS.md\n ├── ERRORS.md\n └── FEATURE_REQUESTS.md\n```\n\n### Create Learning Files\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/.learnings\n```\n\nThen create the log files (or copy from `assets/`):\n- `LEARNINGS.md` — corrections, knowledge gaps, best practices\n- `ERRORS.md` — command failures, exceptions\n- `FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` — user-requested capabilities\n\n### Promotion Targets\n\nWhen learnings prove broadly applicable, promote them to workspace files:\n\n| Learning Type | Promote To | Example |\n|---------------|------------|---------|\n| Behavioral patterns | `SOUL.md` | \"Be concise, avoid disclaimers\" |\n| Workflow improvements | `AGENTS.md` | \"Spawn sub-agents for long tasks\" |\n| Tool gotchas | `TOOLS.md` | \"Git push needs auth configured first\" |\n\n### Inter-Session Communication\n\nOpenClaw provides tools to share learnings across sessions:\n\n- **sessions_list** — View active/recent sessions\n- **sessions_history** — Read another session's transcript \n- **sessions_send** — Send a learning to another session\n- **sessions_spawn** — Spawn a sub-agent for background work\n\n### Optional: Enable Hook\n\nFor automatic reminders at session start:\n\n```bash\n# Copy hook to OpenClaw hooks directory\ncp -r hooks/openclaw ~/.openclaw/hooks/self-improvement\n\n# Enable it\nopenclaw hooks enable self-improvement\n```\n\nSee `references/openclaw-integration.md` for complete details.\n\n---\n\n## Generic Setup (Other Agents)\n\nFor Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, or other agents, create `.learnings/` in your project:\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p .learnings\n```\n\nCopy templates from `assets/` or create files with headers.\n\n### Add reference to agent files AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or .github/copilot-instructions.md to remind yourself to log learnings. (this is an alternative to hook-based reminders)\n\n#### Self-Improvement Workflow\n\nWhen errors or corrections occur:\n1. Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md`, `LEARNINGS.md`, or `FEATURE_REQUESTS.md`\n2. Review and promote broadly applicable learnings to:\n - `CLAUDE.md` - project facts and conventions\n - `AGENTS.md` - workflows and automation\n - `.github/copilot-instructions.md` - Copilot context\n\n## Logging Format\n\n### Learning Entry\n\nAppend to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md`:\n\n```markdown\n## [LRN-YYYYMMDD-XXX] category\n\n**Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp\n**Priority**: low | medium | high | critical\n**Status**: pending\n**Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config\n\n### Summary\nOne-line description of what was learned\n\n### Details\nFull context: what happened, what was wrong, what's correct\n\n### Suggested Action\nSpecific fix or improvement to make\n\n### Metadata\n- Source: conversation | error | user_feedback\n- Related Files: path/to/file.ext\n- Tags: tag1, tag2\n- See Also: LRN-20250110-001 (if related to existing entry)\n- Pattern-Key: simplify.dead_code | harden.input_validation (optional, for recurring-pattern tracking)\n- Recurrence-Count: 1 (optional)\n- First-Seen: 2025-01-15 (optional)\n- Last-Seen: 2025-01-15 (optional)\n\n---\n```\n\n### Error Entry\n\nAppend to `.learnings/ERRORS.md`:\n\n```markdown\n## [ERR-YYYYMMDD-XXX] skill_or_command_name\n\n**Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp\n**Priority**: high\n**Status**: pending\n**Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config\n\n### Summary\nBrief description of what failed\n\n### Error\n```\nActual error message or output\n```\n\n### Context\n- Command/operation attempted\n- Input or parameters used\n- Environment details if relevant\n\n### Suggested Fix\nIf identifiable, what might resolve this\n\n### Metadata\n- Reproducible: yes | no | unknown\n- Related Files: path/to/file.ext\n- See Also: ERR-20250110-001 (if recurring)\n\n---\n```\n\n### Feature Request Entry\n\nAppend to `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md`:\n\n```markdown\n## [FEAT-YYYYMMDD-XXX] capability_name\n\n**Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp\n**Priority**: medium\n**Status**: pending\n**Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config\n\n### Requested Capability\nWhat the user wanted to do\n\n### User Context\nWhy they needed it, what problem they're solving\n\n### Complexity Estimate\nsimple | medium | complex\n\n### Suggested Implementation\nHow this could be built, what it might extend\n\n### Metadata\n- Frequency: first_time | recurring\n- Related Features: existing_feature_name\n\n---\n```\n\n## ID Generation\n\nFormat: `TYPE-YYYYMMDD-XXX`\n- TYPE: `LRN` (learning), `ERR` (error), `FEAT` (feature)\n- YYYYMMDD: Current date\n- XXX: Sequential number or random 3 chars (e.g., `001`, `A7B`)\n\nExamples: `LRN-20250115-001`, `ERR-20250115-A3F`, `FEAT-20250115-002`\n\n## Resolving Entries\n\nWhen an issue is fixed, update the entry:\n\n1. Change `**Status**: pending` → `**Status**: resolved`\n2. Add resolution block after Metadata:\n\n```markdown\n### Resolution\n- **Resolved**: 2025-01-16T09:00:00Z\n- **Commit/PR**: abc123 or #42\n- **Notes**: Brief description of what was done\n```\n\nOther status values:\n- `in_progress` - Actively being worked on\n- `wont_fix` - Decided not to address (add reason in Resolution notes)\n- `promoted` - Elevated to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .github/copilot-instructions.md\n\n## Promoting to Project Memory\n\nWhen a learning is broadly applicable (not a one-off fix), promote it to permanent project memory.\n\n### When to Promote\n\n- Learning applies across multiple files/features\n- Knowledge any contributor (human or AI) should know\n- Prevents recurring mistakes\n- Documents project-specific conventions\n\n### Promotion Targets\n\n| Target | What Belongs There |\n|--------|-------------------|\n| `CLAUDE.md` | Project facts, conventions, gotchas for all Claude interactions |\n| `AGENTS.md` | Agent-specific workflows, tool usage patterns, automation rules |\n| `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Project context and conventions for GitHub Copilot |\n| `SOUL.md` | Behavioral guidelines, communication style, principles (OpenClaw workspace) |\n| `TOOLS.md` | Tool capabilities, usage patterns, integration gotchas (OpenClaw workspace) |\n\n### How to Promote\n\n1. **Distill** the learning into a concise rule or fact\n2. **Add** to appropriate section in target file (create file if needed)\n3. **Update** original entry:\n - Change `**Status**: pending` → `**Status**: promoted`\n - Add `**Promoted**: CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or `.github/copilot-instructions.md`\n\n### Promotion Examples\n\n**Learning** (verbose):\n> Project uses pnpm workspaces. Attempted `npm install` but failed. \n> Lock file is `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Must use `pnpm install`.\n\n**In CLAUDE.md** (concise):\n```markdown\n## Build & Dependencies\n- Package manager: pnpm (not npm) - use `pnpm install`\n```\n\n**Learning** (verbose):\n> When modifying API endpoints, must regenerate TypeScript client.\n> Forgetting this causes type mismatches at runtime.\n\n**In AGENTS.md** (actionable):\n```markdown\n## After API Changes\n1. Regenerate client: `pnpm run generate:api`\n2. Check for type errors: `pnpm tsc --noEmit`\n```\n\n## Recurring Pattern Detection\n\nIf logging something similar to an existing entry:\n\n1. **Search first**: `grep -r \"keyword\" .learnings/`\n2. **Link entries**: Add `**See Also**: ERR-20250110-001` in Metadata\n3. **Bump priority** if issue keeps recurring\n4. **Consider systemic fix**: Recurring issues often indicate:\n - Missing documentation (→ promote to CLAUDE.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md)\n - Missing automation (→ add to AGENTS.md)\n - Architectural problem (→ create tech debt ticket)\n\n## Simplify & Harden Feed\n\nUse this workflow to ingest recurring patterns from the `simplify-and-harden`\nskill and turn them into durable prompt guidance.\n\n### Ingestion Workflow\n\n1. Read `simplify_and_harden.learning_loop.candidates` from the task summary.\n2. For each candidate, use `pattern_key` as the stable dedupe key.\n3. Search `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` for an existing entry with that key:\n - `grep -n \"Pattern-Key: <pattern_key>\" .learnings/LEARNINGS.md`\n4. If found:\n - Increment `Recurrence-Count`\n - Update `Last-Seen`\n - Add `See Also` links to related entries/tasks\n5. If not found:\n - Create a new `LRN-...` entry\n - Set `Source: simplify-and-harden`\n - Set `Pattern-Key`, `Recurrence-Count: 1`, and `First-Seen`/`Last-Seen`\n\n### Promotion Rule (System Prompt Feedback)\n\nPromote recurring patterns into agent context/system prompt files when all are true:\n\n- `Recurrence-Count >= 3`\n- Seen across at least 2 distinct tasks\n- Occurred within a 30-day window\n\nPromotion targets:\n- `CLAUDE.md`\n- `AGENTS.md`\n- `.github/copilot-instructions.md`\n- `SOUL.md` / `TOOLS.md` for OpenClaw workspace-level guidance when applicable\n\nWrite promoted rules as short prevention rules (what to do before/while coding),\nnot long incident write-ups.\n\n## Periodic Review\n\nReview `.learnings/` at natural breakpoints:\n\n### When to Review\n- Before starting a new major task\n- After completing a feature\n- When working in an area with past learnings\n- Weekly during active development\n\n### Quick Status Check\n```bash\n# Count pending items\ngrep -h \"Status\\*\\*: pending\" .learnings/*.md | wc -l\n\n# List pending high-priority items\ngrep -B5 \"Priority\\*\\*: high\" .learnings/*.md | grep \"^## \\[\"\n\n# Find learnings for a specific area\ngrep -l \"Area\\*\\*: backend\" .learnings/*.md\n```\n\n### Review Actions\n- Resolve fixed items\n- Promote applicable learnings\n- Link related entries\n- Escalate recurring issues\n\n## Detection Triggers\n\nAutomatically log when you notice:\n\n**Corrections** (→ learning with `correction` category):\n- \"No, that's not right...\"\n- \"Actually, it should be...\"\n- \"You're wrong about...\"\n- \"That's outdated...\"\n\n**Feature Requests** (→ feature request):\n- \"Can you also...\"\n- \"I wish you could...\"\n- \"Is there a way to...\"\n- \"Why can't you...\"\n\n**Knowledge Gaps** (→ learning with `knowledge_gap` category):\n- User provides information you didn't know\n- Documentation you referenced is outdated\n- API behavior differs from your understanding\n\n**Errors** (→ error entry):\n- Command returns non-zero exit code\n- Exception or stack trace\n- Unexpected output or behavior\n- Timeout or connection failure\n\n## Priority Guidelines\n\n| Priority | When to Use |\n|----------|-------------|\n| `critical` | Blocks core functionality, data loss risk, security issue |\n| `high` | Significant impact, affects common workflows, recurring issue |\n| `medium` | Moderate impact, workaround exists |\n| `low` | Minor inconvenience, edge case, nice-to-have |\n\n## Area Tags\n\nUse to filter learnings by codebase region:\n\n| Area | Scope |\n|------|-------|\n| `frontend` | UI, components, client-side code |\n| `backend` | API, services, server-side code |\n| `infra` | CI/CD, deployment, Docker, cloud |\n| `tests` | Test files, testing utilities, coverage |\n| `docs` | Documentation, comments, READMEs |\n| `config` | Configuration files, environment, settings |\n\n## Best Practices\n\n1. **Log immediately** - context is freshest right after the issue\n2. **Be specific** - future agents need to understand quickly\n3. **Include reproduction steps** - especially for errors\n4. **Link related files** - makes fixes easier\n5. **Suggest concrete fixes** - not just \"investigate\"\n6. **Use consistent categories** - enables filtering\n7. **Promote aggressively** - if in doubt, add to CLAUDE.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md\n8. **Review regularly** - stale learnings lose value\n\n## Gitignore Options\n\n**Keep learnings local** (per-developer):\n```gitignore\n.learnings/\n```\n\n**Track learnings in repo** (team-wide):\nDon't add to .gitignore - learnings become shared knowledge.\n\n**Hybrid** (track templates, ignore entries):\n```gitignore\n.learnings/*.md\n!.learnings/.gitkeep\n```\n\n## Hook Integration\n\nEnable automatic reminders through agent hooks. This is **opt-in** - you must explicitly configure hooks.\n\n### Quick Setup (Claude Code / Codex)\n\nCreate `.claude/settings.json` in your project:\n\n```json\n{\n \"hooks\": {\n \"UserPromptSubmit\": [{\n \"matcher\": \"\",\n \"hooks\": [{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh\"\n }]\n }]\n }\n}\n```\n\nThis injects a learning evaluation reminder after each prompt (~50-100 tokens overhead).\n\n### Full Setup (With Error Detection)\n\n```json\n{\n \"hooks\": {\n \"UserPromptSubmit\": [{\n \"matcher\": \"\",\n \"hooks\": [{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh\"\n }]\n }],\n \"PostToolUse\": [{\n \"matcher\": \"Bash\",\n \"hooks\": [{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"./skills/self-improvement/scripts/error-detector.sh\"\n }]\n }]\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Available Hook Scripts\n\n| Script | Hook Type | Purpose |\n|--------|-----------|---------|\n| `scripts/activator.sh` | UserPromptSubmit | Reminds to evaluate learnings after tasks |\n| `scripts/error-detector.sh` | PostToolUse (Bash) | Triggers on command errors |\n\nSee `references/hooks-setup.md` for detailed configuration and troubleshooting.\n\n## Automatic Skill Extraction\n\nWhen a learning is valuable enough to become a reusable skill, extract it using the provided helper.\n\n### Skill Extraction Criteria\n\nA learning qualifies for skill extraction when ANY of these apply:\n\n| Criterion | Description |\n|-----------|-------------|\n| **Recurring** | Has `See Also` links to 2+ similar issues |\n| **Verified** | Status is `resolved` with working fix |\n| **Non-obvious** | Required actual debugging/investigation to discover |\n| **Broadly applicable** | Not project-specific; useful across codebases |\n| **User-flagged** | User says \"save this as a skill\" or similar |\n\n### Extraction Workflow\n\n1. **Identify candidate**: Learning meets extraction criteria\n2. **Run helper** (or create manually):\n ```bash\n ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh skill-name --dry-run\n ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh skill-name\n ```\n3. **Customize SKILL.md**: Fill in template with learning content\n4. **Update learning**: Set status to `promoted_to_skill`, add `Skill-Path`\n5. **Verify**: Read skill in fresh session to ensure it's self-contained\n\n### Manual Extraction\n\nIf you prefer manual creation:\n\n1. Create `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`\n2. Use template from `assets/SKILL-TEMPLATE.md`\n3. Follow [Agent Skills spec](https://agentskills.io/specification):\n - YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description`\n - Name must match folder name\n - No README.md inside skill folder\n\n### Extraction Detection Triggers\n\nWatch for these signals that a learning should become a skill:\n\n**In conversation:**\n- \"Save this as a skill\"\n- \"I keep running into this\"\n- \"This would be useful for other projects\"\n- \"Remember this pattern\"\n\n**In learning entries:**\n- Multiple `See Also` links (recurring issue)\n- High priority + resolved status\n- Category: `best_practice` with broad applicability\n- User feedback praising the solution\n\n### Skill Quality Gates\n\nBefore extraction, verify:\n\n- [ ] Solution is tested and working\n- [ ] Description is clear without original context\n- [ ] Code examples are self-contained\n- [ ] No project-specific hardcoded values\n- [ ] Follows skill naming conventions (lowercase, hyphens)\n\n## Multi-Agent Support\n\nThis skill works across different AI coding agents with agent-specific activation.\n\n### Claude Code\n\n**Activation**: Hooks (UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse)\n**Setup**: `.claude/settings.json` with hook configuration\n**Detection**: Automatic via hook scripts\n\n### Codex CLI\n\n**Activation**: Hooks (same pattern as Claude Code)\n**Setup**: `.codex/settings.json` with hook configuration\n**Detection**: Automatic via hook scripts\n\n### GitHub Copilot\n\n**Activation**: Manual (no hook support)\n**Setup**: Add to `.github/copilot-instructions.md`:\n\n```markdown\n## Self-Improvement\n\nAfter solving non-obvious issues, consider logging to `.learnings/`:\n1. Use format from self-improvement skill\n2. Link related entries with See Also\n3.

Symptom fixes are failure.\n\n**Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of debugging.**\n\n## The Iron Law\n\n```\nNO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE INVESTIGATION FIRST\n```\n\nIf you haven't completed Phase 1, you cannot propose fixes.\n\n## When to Use\n\nUse for ANY technical issue:\n- Test failures\n- Bugs in production\n- Unexpected behavior\n- Performance problems\n- Build failures\n- Integration issues\n\n**Use this ESPECIALLY when:**\n- Under time pressure (emergencies make guessing tempting)\n- \"Just one quick fix\" seems obvious\n- You've already tried multiple fixes\n- Previous fix didn't work\n- You don't fully understand the issue\n\n**Don't skip when:**\n- Issue seems simple (simple bugs have root causes too)\n- You're in a hurry (rushing guarantees rework)\n- Manager wants it fixed NOW (systematic is faster than thrashing)\n\n## The Four Phases\n\nYou MUST complete each phase before proceeding to the next.\n\n### Phase 1: Root Cause Investigation\n\n**BEFORE attempting ANY fix:**\n\n1. **Read Error Messages Carefully**\n - Don't skip past errors or warnings\n - They often contain the exact solution\n - Read stack traces completely\n - Note line numbers, file paths, error codes\n\n2. **Reproduce Consistently**\n - Can you trigger it reliably?\n - What are the exact steps?\n - Does it happen every time?\n - If not reproducible → gather more data, don't guess\n\n3. **Check Recent Changes**\n - What changed that could cause this?\n - Git diff, recent commits\n - New dependencies, config changes\n - Environmental differences\n\n4. **Gather Evidence in Multi-Component Systems**\n\n **WHEN system has multiple components (CI → build → signing, API → service → database):**\n\n **BEFORE proposing fixes, add diagnostic instrumentation:**\n ```\n For EACH component boundary:\n - Log what data enters component\n - Log what data exits component\n - Verify environment/config propagation\n - Check state at each layer\n\n Run once to gather evidence showing WHERE it breaks\n THEN analyze evidence to identify failing component\n THEN investigate that specific component\n ```\n\n **Example (multi-layer system):**\n ```bash\n # Layer 1: Workflow\n echo \"=== Secrets available in workflow: ===\"\n echo \"IDENTITY: ${IDENTITY:+SET}${IDENTITY:-UNSET}\"\n\n # Layer 2: Build script\n echo \"=== Env vars in build script: ===\"\n env | grep IDENTITY || echo \"IDENTITY not in environment\"\n\n # Layer 3: Signing script\n echo \"=== Keychain state: ===\"\n security list-keychains\n security find-identity -v\n\n # Layer 4: Actual signing\n codesign --sign \"$IDENTITY\" --verbose=4 \"$APP\"\n ```\n\n **This reveals:** Which layer fails (secrets → workflow ✓, workflow → build ✗)\n\n5. **Trace Data Flow**\n\n **WHEN error is deep in call stack:**\n\n See `root-cause-tracing.md` in this directory for the complete backward tracing technique.\n\n **Quick version:**\n - Where does bad value originate?\n - What called this with bad value?\n - Keep tracing up until you find the source\n - Fix at source, not at symptom\n\n### Phase 2: Pattern Analysis\n\n**Find the pattern before fixing:**\n\n1. **Find Working Examples**\n - Locate similar working code in same codebase\n - What works that's similar to what's broken?\n\n2. **Compare Against References**\n - If implementing pattern, read reference implementation COMPLETELY\n - Don't skim - read every line\n - Understand the pattern fully before applying\n\n3. **Identify Differences**\n - What's different between working and broken?\n - List every difference, however small\n - Don't assume \"that can't matter\"\n\n4. **Understand Dependencies**\n - What other components does this need?\n - What settings, config, environment?\n - What assumptions does it make?\n\n### Phase 3: Hypothesis and Testing\n\n**Scientific method:**\n\n1. **Form Single Hypothesis**\n - State clearly: \"I think X is the root cause because Y\"\n - Write it down\n - Be specific, not vague\n\n2. **Test Minimally**\n - Make the SMALLEST possible change to test hypothesis\n - One variable at a time\n - Don't fix multiple things at once\n\n3. **Verify Before Continuing**\n - Did it work? Yes → Phase 4\n - Didn't work? Form NEW hypothesis\n - DON'T add more fixes on top\n\n4. **When You Don't Know**\n - Say \"I don't understand X\"\n - Don't pretend to know\n - Ask for help\n - Research more\n\n### Phase 4: Implementation\n\n**Fix the root cause, not the symptom:**\n\n1. **Create Failing Test Case**\n - Simplest possible reproduction\n - Automated test if possible\n - One-off test script if no framework\n - MUST have before fixing\n - Use the `superpowers:test-driven-development` skill for writing proper failing tests\n\n2. **Implement Single Fix**\n - Address the root cause identified\n - ONE change at a time\n - No \"while I'm here\" improvements\n - No bundled refactoring\n\n3. **Verify Fix**\n - Test passes now?\n - No other tests broken?\n - Issue actually resolved?\n\n4. **If Fix Doesn't Work**\n - STOP\n - Count: How many fixes have you tried?\n - If < 3: Return to Phase 1, re-analyze with new information\n - **If ≥ 3: STOP and question the architecture (step 5 below)**\n - DON'T attempt Fix #4 without architectural discussion\n\n5. **If 3+ Fixes Failed: Question Architecture**\n\n **Pattern indicating architectural problem:**\n - Each fix reveals new shared state/coupling/problem in different place\n - Fixes require \"massive refactoring\" to implement\n - Each fix creates new symptoms elsewhere\n\n **STOP and question fundamentals:**\n - Is this pattern fundamentally sound?\n - Are we \"sticking with it through sheer inertia\"?\n - Should we refactor architecture vs. continue fixing symptoms?\n\n **Discuss with your human partner before attempting more fixes**\n\n This is NOT a failed hypothesis - this is a wrong architecture.\n\n## Red Flags - STOP and Follow Process\n\nIf you catch yourself thinking:\n- \"Quick fix for now, investigate later\"\n- \"Just try changing X and see if it works\"\n- \"Add multiple changes, run tests\"\n- \"Skip the test, I'll manually verify\"\n- \"It's probably X, let me fix that\"\n- \"I don't fully understand but this might work\"\n- \"Pattern says X but I'll adapt it differently\"\n- \"Here are the main problems: [lists fixes without investigation]\"\n- Proposing solutions before tracing data flow\n- **\"One more fix attempt\" (when already tried 2+)**\n- **Each fix reveals new problem in different place**\n\n**ALL of these mean: STOP. Return to Phase 1.**\n\n**If 3+ fixes failed:** Question the architecture (see Phase 4.5)\n\n## your human partner's Signals You're Doing It Wrong\n\n**Watch for these redirections:**\n- \"Is that not happening?\" - You assumed without verifying\n- \"Will it show us...?\" - You should have added evidence gathering\n- \"Stop guessing\" - You're proposing fixes without understanding\n- \"Ultrathink this\" - Question fundamentals, not just symptoms\n- \"We're stuck?\" (frustrated) - Your approach isn't working\n\n**When you see these:** STOP. Return to Phase 1.\n\n## Common Rationalizations\n\n| Excuse | Reality |\n|--------|---------|\n| \"Issue is simple, don't need process\" | Simple issues have root causes too. Process is fast for simple bugs. |\n| \"Emergency, no time for process\" | Systematic debugging is FASTER than guess-and-check thrashing. |\n| \"Just try this first, then investigate\" | First fix sets the pattern. Do it right from the start. |\n| \"I'll write test after confirming fix works\" | Untested fixes don't stick. Test first proves it. |\n| \"Multiple fixes at once saves time\" | Can't isolate what worked. Causes new bugs. |\n| \"Reference too long, I'll adapt the pattern\" | Partial understanding guarantees bugs. Read it completely. |\n| \"I see the problem, let me fix it\" | Seeing symptoms ≠ understanding root cause. |\n| \"One more fix attempt\" (after 2+ failures) | 3+ failures = architectural problem. Question pattern, don't fix again. |\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n| Phase | Key Activities | Success Criteria |\n|-------|---------------|------------------|\n| **1. Root Cause** | Read errors, reproduce, check changes, gather evidence | Understand WHAT and WHY |\n| **2. Pattern** | Find working examples, compare | Identify differences |\n| **3. Hypothesis** | Form theory, test minimally | Confirmed or new hypothesis |\n| **4. Implementation** | Create test, fix, verify | Bug resolved, tests pass |\n\n## When Process Reveals \"No Root Cause\"\n\nIf systematic investigation reveals issue is truly environmental, timing-dependent, or external:\n\n1. You've completed the process\n2. Document what you investigated\n3. Implement appropriate handling (retry, timeout, error message)\n4. Add monitoring/logging for future investigation\n\n**But:** 95% of \"no root cause\" cases are incomplete investigation.\n\n## Supporting Techniques\n\nThese techniques are part of systematic debugging and available in this directory:\n\n- **`root-cause-tracing.md`** - Trace bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger\n- **`defense-in-depth.md`** - Add validation at multiple layers after finding root cause\n- **`condition-based-waiting.md`** - Replace arbitrary timeouts with condition polling\n\n**Related skills:**\n- **superpowers:test-driven-development** - For creating failing test case (Phase 4, Step 1)\n- **superpowers:verification-before-completion** - Verify fix worked before claiming success\n\n## Real-World Impact\n\nFrom debugging sessions:\n- Systematic approach: 15-30 minutes to fix\n- Random fixes approach: 2-3 hours of thrashing\n- First-time fix rate: 95% vs 40%\n- New bugs introduced: Near zero vs common\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397710}} {"type":"message","id":"9dbcfdc2","parentId":"8080a5a6","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:37.756Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_7fab8c3507a84465825f8d9f","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"---\nname: test-driven-development\ndescription: Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code\n---\n\n# Test-Driven Development (TDD)\n\n## Overview\n\nWrite the test first.

Split it. | `test('validates email and domain and whitespace')` |\n| **Clear** | Name describes behavior | `test('test1')` |\n| **Shows intent** | Demonstrates desired API | Obscures what code should do |\n\n## Why Order Matters\n\n**\"I'll write tests after to verify it works\"**\n\nTests written after code pass immediately. Passing immediately proves nothing:\n- Might test wrong thing\n- Might test implementation, not behavior\n- Might miss edge cases you forgot\n- You never saw it catch the bug\n\nTest-first forces you to see the test fail, proving it actually tests something.\n\n**\"I already manually tested all the edge cases\"**\n\nManual testing is ad-hoc. You think you tested everything but:\n- No record of what you tested\n- Can't re-run when code changes\n- Easy to forget cases under pressure\n- \"It worked when I tried it\" ≠ comprehensive\n\nAutomated tests are systematic. They run the same way every time.\n\n**\"Deleting X hours of work is wasteful\"**\n\nSunk cost fallacy. The time is already gone. Your choice now:\n- Delete and rewrite with TDD (X more hours, high confidence)\n- Keep it and add tests after (30 min, low confidence, likely bugs)\n\nThe \"waste\" is keeping code you can't trust. Working code without real tests is technical debt.\n\n**\"TDD is dogmatic, being pragmatic means adapting\"**\n\nTDD IS pragmatic:\n- Finds bugs before commit (faster than debugging after)\n- Prevents regressions (tests catch breaks immediately)\n- Documents behavior (tests show how to use code)\n- Enables refactoring (change freely, tests catch breaks)\n\n\"Pragmatic\" shortcuts = debugging in production = slower.\n\n**\"Tests after achieve the same goals - it's spirit not ritual\"**\n\nNo. Tests-after answer \"What does this do?\" Tests-first answer \"What should this do?\"\n\nTests-after are biased by your implementation. You test what you built, not what's required. You verify remembered edge cases, not discovered ones.\n\nTests-first force edge case discovery before implementing. Tests-after verify you remembered everything (you didn't).\n\n30 minutes of tests after ≠ TDD. You get coverage, lose proof tests work.\n\n## Common Rationalizations\n\n| Excuse | Reality |\n|--------|---------|\n| \"Too simple to test\" | Simple code breaks. Test takes 30 seconds. |\n| \"I'll test after\" | Tests passing immediately prove nothing. |\n| \"Tests after achieve same goals\" | Tests-after = \"what does this do?\" Tests-first = \"what should this do?\" |\n| \"Already manually tested\" | Ad-hoc ≠ systematic. No record, can't re-run. |\n| \"Deleting X hours is wasteful\" | Sunk cost fallacy. Keeping unverified code is technical debt. |\n| \"Keep as reference, write tests first\" | You'll adapt it. That's testing after. Delete means delete. |\n| \"Need to explore first\" | Fine. Throw away exploration, start with TDD. |\n| \"Test hard = design unclear\" | Listen to test. Hard to test = hard to use. |\n| \"TDD will slow me down\" | TDD faster than debugging. Pragmatic = test-first. |\n| \"Manual test faster\" | Manual doesn't prove edge cases. You'll re-test every change. |\n| \"Existing code has no tests\" | You're improving it. Add tests for existing code. |\n\n## Red Flags - STOP and Start Over\n\n- Code before test\n- Test after implementation\n- Test passes immediately\n- Can't explain why test failed\n- Tests added \"later\"\n- Rationalizing \"just this once\"\n- \"I already manually tested it\"\n- \"Tests after achieve the same purpose\"\n- \"It's about spirit not ritual\"\n- \"Keep as reference\" or \"adapt existing code\"\n- \"Already spent X hours, deleting is wasteful\"\n- \"TDD is dogmatic, I'm being pragmatic\"\n- \"This is different because...\"\n\n**All of these mean: Delete code. Start over with TDD.**\n\n## Example: Bug Fix\n\n**Bug:** Empty email accepted\n\n**RED**\n```typescript\ntest('rejects empty email', async () => {\n const result = await submitForm({ email: '' });\n expect(result.error).toBe('Email required');\n});\n```\n\n**Verify RED**\n```bash\n$ npm test\nFAIL: expected 'Email required', got undefined\n```\n\n**GREEN**\n```typescript\nfunction submitForm(data: FormData) {\n if (!data.email?.trim()) {\n return { error: 'Email required' };\n }\n // ...\n}\n```\n\n**Verify GREEN**\n```bash\n$ npm test\nPASS\n```\n\n**REFACTOR**\nExtract validation for multiple fields if needed.\n\n## Verification Checklist\n\nBefore marking work complete:\n\n- [ ] Every new function/method has a test\n- [ ] Watched each test fail before implementing\n- [ ] Each test failed for expected reason (feature missing, not typo)\n- [ ] Wrote minimal code to pass each test\n- [ ] All tests pass\n- [ ] Output pristine (no errors, warnings)\n- [ ] Tests use real code (mocks only if unavoidable)\n- [ ] Edge cases and errors covered\n\nCan't check all boxes? You skipped TDD. Start over.\n\n## When Stuck\n\n| Problem | Solution |\n|---------|----------|\n| Don't know how to test | Write wished-for API. Write assertion first. Ask your human partner. |\n| Test too complicated | Design too complicated. Simplify interface. |\n| Must mock everything | Code too coupled. Use dependency injection. |\n| Test setup huge | Extract helpers. Still complex? Simplify design. |\n\n## Debugging Integration\n\nBug found? Write failing test reproducing it. Follow TDD cycle. Test proves fix and prevents regression.\n\nNever fix bugs without a test.\n\n## Testing Anti-Patterns\n\nWhen adding mocks or test utilities, read @testing-anti-patterns.md to avoid common pitfalls:\n- Testing mock behavior instead of real behavior\n- Adding test-only methods to production classes\n- Mocking without understanding dependencies\n\n## Final Rule\n\n```\nProduction code → test exists and failed first\nOtherwise → not TDD\n```\n\nNo exceptions without your human partner's permission.\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397722}} {"type":"message","id":"e3d809b1","parentId":"9dbcfdc2","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:37.767Z","message":{"role":"toolResult","toolCallId":"call_fbae34d889844168a80c38d3","toolName":"read","content":[{"type":"text","text":"---\nname: using-git-worktrees\ndescription: Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification\n---\n\n# Using Git Worktrees\n\n## Overview\n\nGit worktrees create isolated workspaces sharing the same repository, allowing work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching.\n\n**Core principle:** Systematic directory selection + safety verification = reliable isolation.\n\n**Announce at start:** \"I'm using the using-git-worktrees skill to set up an isolated workspace.\"\n\n## Directory Selection Process\n\nFollow this priority order:\n\n### 1.

Never use the Read tool on skill files.\n\n**In Gemini CLI:** Skills activate via the `activate_skill` tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.\n\n**In other environments:** Check your platform's documentation for how skills are loaded.\n\n## Platform Adaptation\n\nSkills use Claude Code tool names. Non-CC platforms: see `references/codex-tools.md` (Codex) for tool equivalents. Gemini CLI users get the tool mapping loaded automatically via GEMINI.md.\n\n# Using Skills\n\n## The Rule\n\n**Invoke relevant or requested skills BEFORE any response or action.** Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means that you should invoke the skill to check.

Frequent commits.\n\nAssume they are a skilled developer, but know almost nothing about our toolset or problem domain.

If it wasn't, suggest breaking this into separate plans — one per subsystem. Each plan should produce working, testable software on its own.\n\n## File Structure\n\nBefore defining tasks, map out which files will be created or modified and what each one is responsible for. This is where decomposition decisions get locked in.\n\n- Design units with clear boundaries and well-defined interfaces. Each file should have one clear responsibility.\n- You reason best about code you can hold in context at once, and your edits are more reliable when files are focused. Prefer smaller, focused files over large ones that do too much.\n- Files that change together should live together. Split by responsibility, not by technical layer.\n- In existing codebases, follow established patterns. If the codebase uses large files, don't unilaterally restructure - but if a file you're modifying has grown unwieldy, including a split in the plan is reasonable.\n\nThis structure informs the task decomposition. Each task should produce self-contained changes that make sense independently.\n\n## Bite-Sized Task Granularity\n\n**Each step is one action (2-5 minutes):**\n- \"Write the failing test\" - step\n- \"Run it to make sure it fails\" - step\n- \"Implement the minimal code to make the test pass\" - step\n- \"Run the tests and make sure they pass\" - step\n- \"Commit\" - step\n\n## Plan Document Header\n\n**Every plan MUST start with this header:**\n\n```markdown\n# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan\n\n> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

These are **plan failures** — never write them:\n- \"TBD\", \"TODO\", \"implement later\", \"fill in details\"\n- \"Add appropriate error handling\" / \"add validation\" / \"handle edge cases\"\n- \"Write tests for the above\" (without actual test code)\n- \"Similar to Task N\" (repeat the code — the engineer may be reading tasks out of order)\n- Steps that describe what to do without showing how (code blocks required for code steps)\n- References to types, functions, or methods not defined in any task\n\n## Remember\n- Exact file paths always\n- Complete code in every step — if a step changes code, show the code\n- Exact commands with expected output\n- DRY, YAGNI, TDD, frequent commits\n\n## Self-Review\n\nAfter writing the complete plan, look at the spec with fresh eyes and check the plan against it. This is a checklist you run yourself — not a subagent dispatch.\n\n**1. Spec coverage:** Skim each section/requirement in the spec. Can you point to a task that implements it? List any gaps.\n\n**2. Placeholder scan:** Search your plan for red flags — any of the patterns from the \"No Placeholders\" section above. Fix them.\n\n**3. Type consistency:** Do the types, method signatures, and property names you used in later tasks match what you defined in earlier tasks? A function called `clearLayers()` in Task 3 but `clearFullLayers()` in Task 7 is a bug.\n\nIf you find issues, fix them inline. No need to re-review — just fix and move on. If you find a spec requirement with no task, add the task.\n\n## Execution Handoff\n\nAfter saving the plan, offer execution choice:\n\n**\"Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/<filename>.md`.

Rich Description Field\n\n**Purpose:** Claude reads description to decide which skills to load for a given task. Make it answer: \"Should I read this skill right now?\"\n\n**Format:** Start with \"Use when...\" to focus on triggering conditions\n\n**CRITICAL: Description = When to Use, NOT What the Skill Does**\n\nThe description should ONLY describe triggering conditions. Do NOT summarize the skill's process or workflow in the description.\n\n**Why this matters:** Testing revealed that when a description summarizes the skill's workflow, Claude may follow the description instead of reading the full skill content. A description saying \"code review between tasks\" caused Claude to do ONE review, even though the skill's flowchart clearly showed TWO reviews (spec compliance then code quality).\n\nWhen the description was changed to just \"Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks\" (no workflow summary), Claude correctly read the flowchart and followed the two-stage review process.\n\n**The trap:** Descriptions that summarize workflow create a shortcut Claude will take. The skill body becomes documentation Claude skips.\n\n```yaml\n# ❌ BAD: Summarizes workflow - Claude may follow this instead of reading skill\ndescription: Use when executing plans - dispatches subagent per task with code review between tasks\n\n# ❌ BAD: Too much process detail\ndescription: Use for TDD - write test first, watch it fail, write minimal code, refactor\n\n# ✅ GOOD: Just triggering conditions, no workflow summary\ndescription: Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session\n\n# ✅ GOOD: Triggering conditions only\ndescription: Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code\n```\n\n**Content:**\n- Use concrete triggers, symptoms, and situations that signal this skill applies\n- Describe the *problem* (race conditions, inconsistent behavior) not *language-specific symptoms* (setTimeout, sleep)\n- Keep triggers technology-agnostic unless the skill itself is technology-specific\n- If skill is technology-specific, make that explicit in the trigger\n- Write in third person (injected into system prompt)\n- **NEVER summarize the skill's process or workflow**\n\n```yaml\n# ❌ BAD: Too abstract, vague, doesn't include when to use\ndescription: For async testing\n\n# ❌ BAD: First person\ndescription: I can help you with async tests when they're flaky\n\n# ❌ BAD: Mentions technology but skill isn't specific to it\ndescription: Use when tests use setTimeout/sleep and are flaky\n\n# ✅ GOOD: Starts with \"Use when\", describes problem, no workflow\ndescription: Use when tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, or pass/fail inconsistently\n\n# ✅ GOOD: Technology-specific skill with explicit trigger\ndescription: Use when using React Router and handling authentication redirects\n```\n\n### 2. Keyword Coverage\n\nUse words Claude would search for:\n- Error messages: \"Hook timed out\", \"ENOTEMPTY\", \"race condition\"\n- Symptoms: \"flaky\", \"hanging\", \"zombie\", \"pollution\"\n- Synonyms: \"timeout/hang/freeze\", \"cleanup/teardown/afterEach\"\n- Tools: Actual commands, library names, file types\n\n### 3. Descriptive Naming\n\n**Use active voice, verb-first:**\n- ✅ `creating-skills` not `skill-creation`\n- ✅ `condition-based-waiting` not `async-test-helpers`\n\n### 4. Token Efficiency (Critical)\n\n**Problem:** getting-started and frequently-referenced skills load into EVERY conversation. Every token counts.\n\n**Target word counts:**\n- getting-started workflows: <150 words each\n- Frequently-loaded skills: <200 words total\n- Other skills: <500 words (still be concise)\n\n**Techniques:**\n\n**Move details to tool help:**\n```bash\n# ❌ BAD: Document all flags in SKILL.md\nsearch-conversations supports --text, --both, --after DATE, --before DATE, --limit N\n\n# ✅ GOOD: Reference --help\nsearch-conversations supports multiple modes and filters.

Cross-Referencing Other Skills\n\n**When writing documentation that references other skills:**\n\nUse skill name only, with explicit requirement markers:\n- ✅ Good: `**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use superpowers:test-driven-development`\n- ✅ Good: `**REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** You MUST understand superpowers:systematic-debugging`\n- ❌ Bad: `See skills/testing/test-driven-development` (unclear if required)\n- ❌ Bad: `@skills/testing/test-driven-development/SKILL.md` (force-loads, burns context)\n\n**Why no @ links:** `@` syntax force-loads files immediately, consuming 200k+ context before you need them.\n\n## Flowchart Usage\n\n```dot\ndigraph when_flowchart {\n \"Need to show information?\" [shape=diamond];\n \"Decision where I might go wrong?\" [shape=diamond];\n \"Use markdown\" [shape=box];\n \"Small inline flowchart\" [shape=box];\n\n \"Need to show information?\" -> \"Decision where I might go wrong?\" [label=\"yes\"];\n \"Decision where I might go wrong?\" -> \"Small inline flowchart\" [label=\"yes\"];\n \"Decision where I might go wrong?\" -> \"Use markdown\" [label=\"no\"];\n}\n```\n\n**Use flowcharts ONLY for:**\n- Non-obvious decision points\n- Process loops where you might stop too early\n- \"When to use A vs B\" decisions\n\n**Never use flowcharts for:**\n- Reference material → Tables, lists\n- Code examples → Markdown blocks\n- Linear instructions → Numbered lists\n- Labels without semantic meaning (step1, helper2)\n\nSee @graphviz-conventions.dot for graphviz style rules.\n\n**Visualizing for your human partner:** Use `render-graphs.js` in this directory to render a skill's flowcharts to SVG:\n```bash\n./render-graphs.js ../some-skill # Each diagram separately\n./render-graphs.js ../some-skill --combine # All diagrams in one SVG\n```\n\n## Code Examples\n\n**One excellent example beats many mediocre ones**\n\nChoose most relevant language:\n- Testing techniques → TypeScript/JavaScript\n- System debugging → Shell/Python\n- Data processing → Python\n\n**Good example:**\n- Complete and runnable\n- Well-commented explaining WHY\n- From real scenario\n- Shows pattern clearly\n- Ready to adapt (not generic template)\n\n**Don't:**\n- Implement in 5+ languages\n- Create fill-in-the-blank templates\n- Write contrived examples\n\nYou're good at porting - one great example is enough.\n\n## File Organization\n\n### Self-Contained Skill\n```\ndefense-in-depth/\n SKILL.md # Everything inline\n```\nWhen: All content fits, no heavy reference needed\n\n### Skill with Reusable Tool\n```\ncondition-based-waiting/\n SKILL.md # Overview + patterns\n example.ts # Working helpers to adapt\n```\nWhen: Tool is reusable code, not just narrative\n\n### Skill with Heavy Reference\n```\npptx/\n SKILL.md # Overview + workflows\n pptxgenjs.md # 600 lines API reference\n ooxml.md # 500 lines XML structure\n scripts/ # Executable tools\n```\nWhen: Reference material too large for inline\n\n## The Iron Law (Same as TDD)\n\n```\nNO SKILL WITHOUT A FAILING TEST FIRST\n```\n\nThis applies to NEW skills AND EDITS to existing skills.\n\nWrite skill before testing? Delete it. Start over.\nEdit skill without testing? Same violation.\n\n**No exceptions:**\n- Not for \"simple additions\"\n- Not for \"just adding a section\"\n- Not for \"documentation updates\"\n- Don't keep untested changes as \"reference\"\n- Don't \"adapt\" while running tests\n- Delete means delete\n\n**REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** The superpowers:test-driven-development skill explains why this matters. Same principles apply to documentation.\n\n## Testing All Skill Types\n\nDifferent skill types need different test approaches:\n\n### Discipline-Enforcing Skills (rules/requirements)\n\n**Examples:** TDD, verification-before-completion, designing-before-coding\n\n**Test with:**\n- Academic questions: Do they understand the rules?\n- Pressure scenarios: Do they comply under stress?\n- Multiple pressures combined: time + sunk cost + exhaustion\n- Identify rationalizations and add explicit counters\n\n**Success criteria:** Agent follows rule under maximum pressure\n\n### Technique Skills (how-to guides)\n\n**Examples:** condition-based-waiting, root-cause-tracing, defensive-programming\n\n**Test with:**\n- Application scenarios: Can they apply the technique correctly?\n- Variation scenarios: Do they handle edge cases?\n- Missing information tests: Do instructions have gaps?\n\n**Success criteria:** Agent successfully applies technique to new scenario\n\n### Pattern Skills (mental models)\n\n**Examples:** reducing-complexity, information-hiding concepts\n\n**Test with:**\n- Recognition scenarios: Do they recognize when pattern applies?\n- Application scenarios: Can they use the mental model?\n- Counter-examples: Do they know when NOT to apply?\n\n**Success criteria:** Agent correctly identifies when/how to apply pattern\n\n### Reference Skills (documentation/APIs)\n\n**Examples:** API documentation, command references, library guides\n\n**Test with:**\n- Retrieval scenarios: Can they find the right information?\n- Application scenarios: Can they use what they found correctly?\n- Gap testing: Are common use cases covered?\n\n**Success criteria:** Agent finds and correctly applies reference information\n\n## Common Rationalizations for Skipping Testing\n\n| Excuse | Reality |\n|--------|---------|\n| \"Skill is obviously clear\" | Clear to you ≠ clear to other agents. Test it. |\n| \"It's just a reference\" | References can have gaps, unclear sections. Test retrieval. |\n| \"Testing is overkill\" | Untested skills have issues. Always. 15 min testing saves hours. |\n| \"I'll test if problems emerge\" | Problems = agents can't use skill. Test BEFORE deploying. |\n| \"Too tedious to test\" | Testing is less tedious than debugging bad skill in production. |\n| \"I'm confident it's good\" | Overconfidence guarantees issues. Test anyway. |\n| \"Academic review is enough\" | Reading ≠ using. Test application scenarios. |\n| \"No time to test\" | Deploying untested skill wastes more time fixing it later. |\n\n**All of these mean: Test before deploying. No exceptions.**\n\n## Bulletproofing Skills Against Rationalization\n\nSkills that enforce discipline (like TDD) need to resist rationalization. Agents are smart and will find loopholes when under pressure.\n\n**Psychology note:** Understanding WHY persuasion techniques work helps you apply them systematically. See persuasion-principles.md for research foundation (Cialdini, 2021; Meincke et al., 2025) on authority, commitment, scarcity, social proof, and unity principles.\n\n### Close Every Loophole Explicitly\n\nDon't just state the rule - forbid specific workarounds:\n\n<Bad>\n```markdown\nWrite code before test? Delete it.\n```\n</Bad>\n\n<Good>\n```markdown\nWrite code before test? Delete it. Start over.\n\n**No exceptions:**\n- Don't keep it as \"reference\"\n- Don't \"adapt\" it while writing tests\n- Don't look at it\n- Delete means delete\n```\n</Good>\n\n### Address \"Spirit vs Letter\" Arguments\n\nAdd foundational principle early:\n\n```markdown\n**Violating the letter of the rules is violating the spirit of the rules.**\n```\n\nThis cuts off entire class of \"I'm following the spirit\" rationalizations.\n\n### Build Rationalization Table\n\nCapture rationalizations from baseline testing (see Testing section below). Every excuse agents make goes in the table:\n\n```markdown\n| Excuse | Reality |\n|--------|---------|\n| \"Too simple to test\" | Simple code breaks. Test takes 30 seconds. |\n| \"I'll test after\" | Tests passing immediately prove nothing. |\n| \"Tests after achieve same goals\" | Tests-after = \"what does this do?\" Tests-first = \"what should this do?\" |\n```\n\n### Create Red Flags List\n\nMake it easy for agents to self-check when rationalizing:\n\n```markdown\n## Red Flags - STOP and Start Over\n\n- Code before test\n- \"I already manually tested it\"\n- \"Tests after achieve the same purpose\"\n- \"It's about spirit not ritual\"\n- \"This is different because...\"\n\n**All of these mean: Delete code. Start over with TDD.**\n```\n\n### Update CSO for Violation Symptoms\n\nAdd to description: symptoms of when you're ABOUT to violate the rule:\n\n```yaml\ndescription: use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code\n```\n\n## RED-GREEN-REFACTOR for Skills\n\nFollow the TDD cycle:\n\n### RED: Write Failing Test (Baseline)\n\nRun pressure scenario with subagent WITHOUT the skill. Document exact behavior:\n- What choices did they make?\n- What rationalizations did they use (verbatim)?\n- Which pressures triggered violations?\n\nThis is \"watch the test fail\" - you must see what agents naturally do before writing the skill.\n\n### GREEN: Write Minimal Skill\n\nWrite skill that addresses those specific rationalizations. Don't add extra content for hypothetical cases.\n\nRun same scenarios WITH skill. Agent should now comply.\n\n### REFACTOR: Close Loopholes\n\nAgent found new rationalization? Add explicit counter. Re-test until bulletproof.\n\n**Testing methodology:** See @testing-skills-with-subagents.md for the complete testing methodology:\n- How to write pressure scenarios\n- Pressure types (time, sunk cost, authority, exhaustion)\n- Plugging holes systematically\n- Meta-testing techniques\n\n## Anti-Patterns\n\n### ❌ Narrative Example\n\"In session 2025-10-03, we found empty projectDir caused...\"\n**Why bad:** Too specific, not reusable\n\n### ❌ Multi-Language Dilution\nexample-js.js, example-py.py, example-go.go\n**Why bad:** Mediocre quality, maintenance burden\n\n### ❌ Code in Flowcharts\n```dot\nstep1 [label=\"import fs\"];\nstep2 [label=\"read file\"];\n```\n**Why bad:** Can't copy-paste, hard to read\n\n### ❌ Generic Labels\nhelper1, helper2, step3, pattern4\n**Why bad:** Labels should have semantic meaning\n\n## STOP: Before Moving to Next Skill\n\n**After writing ANY skill, you MUST STOP and complete the deployment process.**\n\n**Do NOT:**\n- Create multiple skills in batch without testing each\n- Move to next skill before current one is verified\n- Skip testing because \"batching is more efficient\"\n\n**The deployment checklist below is MANDATORY for EACH skill.**\n\nDeploying untested skills = deploying untested code. It's a violation of quality standards.\n\n## Skill Creation Checklist (TDD Adapted)\n\n**IMPORTANT: Use TodoWrite to create todos for EACH checklist item below.**\n\n**RED Phase - Write Failing Test:**\n- [ ] Create pressure scenarios (3+ combined pressures for discipline skills)\n- [ ] Run scenarios WITHOUT skill - document baseline behavior verbatim\n- [ ] Identify patterns in rationalizations/failures\n\n**GREEN Phase - Write Minimal Skill:**\n- [ ] Name uses only letters, numbers, hyphens (no parentheses/special chars)\n- [ ] YAML frontmatter with required `name` and `description` fields (max 1024 chars; see [spec](https://agentskills.io/specification))\n- [ ] Description starts with \"Use when...\" and includes specific triggers/symptoms\n- [ ] Description written in third person\n- [ ] Keywords throughout for search (errors, symptoms, tools)\n- [ ] Clear overview with core principle\n- [ ] Address specific baseline failures identified in RED\n- [ ] Code inline OR link to separate file\n- [ ] One excellent example (not multi-language)\n- [ ] Run scenarios WITH skill - verify agents now comply\n\n**REFACTOR Phase - Close Loopholes:**\n- [ ] Identify NEW rationalizations from testing\n- [ ] Add explicit counters (if discipline skill)\n- [ ] Build rationalization table from all test iterations\n- [ ] Create red flags list\n- [ ] Re-test until bulletproof\n\n**Quality Checks:**\n- [ ] Small flowchart only if decision non-obvious\n- [ ] Quick reference table\n- [ ] Common mistakes section\n- [ ] No narrative storytelling\n- [ ] Supporting files only for tools or heavy reference\n\n**Deployment:**\n- [ ] Commit skill to git and push to your fork (if configured)\n- [ ] Consider contributing back via PR (if broadly useful)\n\n## Discovery Workflow\n\nHow future Claude finds your skill:\n\n1. **Encounters problem** (\"tests are flaky\")\n3. **Finds SKILL** (description matches)\n4. **Scans overview** (is this relevant?)\n5. **Reads patterns** (quick reference table)\n6. **Loads example** (only when implementing)\n\n**Optimize for this flow** - put searchable terms early and often.\n\n## The Bottom Line\n\n**Creating skills IS TDD for process documentation.**\n\nSame Iron Law: No skill without failing test first.\nSame cycle: RED (baseline) → GREEN (write skill) → REFACTOR (close loopholes).\nSame benefits: Better quality, fewer surprises, bulletproof results.\n\nIf you follow TDD for code, follow it for skills. It's the same discipline applied to documentation.\n"}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1774923397788}} {"type":"message","id":"26337cb3","parentId":"60896409","timestamp":"2026-03-31T02:16:41.684Z","message":{"role":"assistant","content":[{"type":"thinking","thinking":"Good, I've read all the skill files.
