Based on SOC occupation classification
Goal-like loop that uses ultrawork mode to decompose work into systematic, evidence-bound steps.
Removes AI-generated code smells from a SINGLE file while preserving functionality. For multiple files, call in PARALLEL per file.
MUST USE for any real runtime debugging across ANY language or binary โ crashes, silent failures, wrong responses, stuck processes, memory leaks, async misbehavior, unexplained timing, reverse engineering. Runs a hypothesis-driven loop: form โฅ3 hypotheses, investigate in parallel, after 2 failed rounds spawn Oracles from orthogonal angles, confirm root cause, lock with a failing test, fix minimally, QA by actually USING the system, scrub artifacts. The actual HOW lives in `references/` โ READ THEM. Triggers: 'debug this', 'why is X not working', 'hanging', 'attach a debugger', 'reverse engineer', 'pwndbg', 'gdb', 'lldb', 'node inspect', 'tsx debug', 'pdb', 'dlv', 'delve', 'rust-gdb', 'set a breakpoint', 'context window exploded', 'why is the response empty', 'attach the debugger', 'debug it', 'why is this happening', 'trace this bug', 'reproduce and fix', 'silent failure', 'HTTP 200 but empty', 'why did it stop', 'inspect the binary', 'reverse engineering', 'playwright'.
Designer-turned-developer who crafts stunning UI/UX even without design mockups
(builtin) Initialize hierarchical AGENTS.md knowledge base
Strategic planning consultant that produces decision-complete work plans through Socratic interview, codebase exploration, Metis gap analysis, and optional Momus high-accuracy review. MUST USE when the task has 5+ steps, scope is ambiguous, multiple modules are involved, or the user asks for a plan. Triggers: plan this, create a work plan, interview me, start planning, prometheustic, plan mode, help me plan this, break this down.

Codex Rules is automatic once the plugin is enabled. It injects:
