| description | Enforce red-green-refactor implementation with issue-specific regression tests when tests are requested or appropriate. |
Use red-green-refactor when implementing behavior with test coverage.
Process:
Do not write broad speculative tests. Prefer regression tests tied to the exact issue.
Refine rough ideas into a clear design before implementation by asking focused questions and presenting options.
Execute an approved implementation plan in controlled batches with verification after meaningful changes.
Review code against the requested behavior, plan, safety rules, and validation output before declaring completion.
Debug by reproducing, isolating root cause, fixing the cause, and verifying the fix instead of guessing.
Use the Superpowers methodology in Pi: choose the right workflow before coding, load matching skills, and make the process explicit.
Convert an approved design into a precise implementation plan with files, steps, verification, and rollback notes.
