Working discipline for hard tasks — decompose, verify, and decide what to do next. Use whenever a task is non-trivial: the approach is not obvious, it spans multiple steps or files, it involves debugging an unknown cause, an irreversible or production-facing change, or the user says it is hard/complex/stuck. Also use when starting work that a strong model (Opus 4.8+) is delegated precisely because it is difficult. Do not wait for the user to ask for "planning" — apply this protocol proactively at the start of any such task.
