Step-by-step teaching mode for implementation guidance. Use when the user asks Codex to teach them how to implement a change themselves, says "use instruct", "teach me step by step", "walk me through implementing", "show me incrementally", or otherwise wants guidance-first coding help instead of Codex directly editing files.

Guidance for designing, writing, reviewing, or refactoring tests in this project. Use when adding tests for features or bugs, deciding unit vs integration boundaries, choosing what to mock, improving test structure, or reducing brittle/slow/flaky tests.

Turn a rough idea into a reviewed design spec before any implementation.

Debug issues using a structured, evidence-first process.

Execute a written implementation plan in this session with checkpoints.

Execute a written implementation plan task-by-task using pi subagents with review gates.

Verify tests, present merge options, and clean up a finished branch.

Process review feedback with technical rigor before changes.

Generate or update an Advent of Code year README benchmark table with per-day Criterion timings. Use when asked to update benchmarks for aocYY, update benchmarks for aocYY day N, update benchmarks for YEAR day N (e.g. 2020 day 7), create README performance measurements, benchmark solved AoC days/parts, or make a README similar to aoc24/README.md.

Publish a new patch/minor/major version of this pi extension to npm. Use when cutting a release, verifying npm trusted publishing, or explaining the release workflow for this repo.
