dotfiles

Use before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute with review checkpoints

Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

Use when creating or updating a repository's root AGENTS.md file to provide project-specific guidance for agents

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

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

Run an extremely strict maintainability review for abstraction quality, giant files, and spaghetti-condition growth. Use for a thermo-nuclear code quality review, thermonuclear review, deep code quality audit, or especially harsh maintainability review.

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use Bob commands

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

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
