Use when adding a new transform effect, creating a post-process shader, or planning effect implementation. Provides the complete checklist of files and commonly-missed steps.
Use when exploring a vague idea, finding inspiration, or researching a technique before planning. Triggers on "I want to add...", "what if...", "research", "look up", or when uncertain about what to build.
Use when creating a git commit for staged or unstaged changes. Triggers on "commit this", "save my changes", or when implementation work completes and needs version control.
Use when creating a tagged release with changelog. Triggers on "release", "tag a release", "cut a release", or when ready to publish a new version.
Use when reviewing an implemented feature against its plan document. Triggers after implementation completes, on "review this", or when checking if code matches specification.
Use when planning a new feature before implementation. Triggers on "plan", "design", "architect", or when describing a feature to build.
Use when executing a feature plan with wave-based parallel agents. Triggers on "implement this plan", "start building", or when a plan exists in docs/plans/ and user wants to begin coding.
Use when editing UI code in any panel or effect Draw*Params function. Enforces the Signal Stack design language. Triggers on UI edits to src/ui/, src/effects/ UI sections, drawable_type_controls.cpp, or when reviewing effect UI for consistency.
