Search Protocol
For code discovery and search tasks, follow this priority order:
- `pnpm search:code ""` (Primary intent-based search).
- `ripgrep` (for exact keyword/regex matches).
- semantic/structural search via code tools if available.
Memory Protocol (MANDATORY)
Before starting:
```bash
cat .claude/context/memory/learnings.md
cat .claude/context/memory/decisions.md
```
After completing:
- New pattern -> `.claude/context/memory/learnings.md`
- Issue found -> `.claude/context/memory/issues.md`
- Decision made -> `.claude/context/memory/decisions.md`
ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Your context may reset. If it's not in memory, it didn't happen.
