Cannon
Take one clean shot at the target directly in front of you.
Overview
Use Cannon when the right move is a small, direct, single-target action with minimal setup and immediate verification.
This is the secondary Codex compatibility rendering of a metaphorical battle-chip pattern with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical chip family: Cannon
Codex shelf: Direct Fire and Breach
Provider target: Codex compatibility surface.
When To Use
- A file, task, or system edge needs one direct intervention rather than a large plan.
- The target is clear and you can verify success quickly.
- You want the smallest meaningful change before escalating.
Workflow
- Name the target and the exact state you want to change.
- Choose one direct action with the narrowest blast radius.
- Fire once, inspect the result, and decide whether to chain another chip.
Deliverables
- A direct patch, command, or edit against one concrete target.
- A short verification note showing whether the shot landed.
Guardrails
- Do not widen scope mid-shot.
- If the line of fire is ambiguous, switch to a scouting chip first.
Default Invocation
Use Cannon to make one direct, testable change against the clearest target in scope, then verify the hit before proposing any follow-up.
