Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when finishing spec.md before writing test-definitions.md, or when the review gate asks for a spec review — self-reviews the just-authored spec inline and earns its Tier 1 review stamp. Your own inline pass; do not spawn a sub-agent.
Safeword semver commitment and release discipline. Use when bumping versions, cutting releases, deciding what goes in a patch vs minor vs major, or reviewing changelog entries. Also use when auto-upgrade logic needs to know what's safe to apply silently.
Run comprehensive code audit for architecture, dead code, and test quality. Use when reviewing overall codebase health, checking for architectural violations, or before marking a feature complete.
Behavior-first feature development — use when building new capabilities, continuing feature work, or when work introduces new state or multiple user flows. Discovers desired behavior through examples and scenarios before implementation. Do NOT use for bug fixes, typos, or small isolated changes.
Use when the user wants to explore options, weigh approaches, or think through uncertainty before committing to a direction. Collaborative brainstorming and rubber ducking — divergence-first thinking partner.
Root cause debugging before fixes. Use when investigating bugs, diagnosing test failures, troubleshooting unexpected behavior, or when previous fix attempts failed. Enforces investigate-first discipline.

Kill zombie processes (dev servers, Playwright browsers, test runners) for the current project only. Safe to use in multi-project environments.
Run the cleanup script — it previews what would be killed (nothing dies without explicit consent; the preview-first ritual is script-enforced):
./.safeword/scripts/cleanup-zombies.sh
If the preview looks correct, confirm the kill with --yes:
./.safeword/scripts/cleanup-zombies.sh --yes
packages/*/, apps/*/ for monorepos)If auto-detection fails or you need a specific port:
# Explicit port (preview, then add --yes to kill)
./.safeword/scripts/cleanup-zombies.sh 5173
# Port + additional pattern
./.safeword/scripts/cleanup-zombies.sh --yes 5173 "electron"
