Catch yourself when you're about to approve without verifying. Use during every Reviewer session; it's a self-check, not a one-off step.

Based on SOC occupation classification
Pick the right worker class for each Issue. Use every time you assign an Issue; wrong routing wastes tokens and creates rework.
Break a Company Goal into 3-10 atomic Issues. Use when a Goal arrives with no pre-existing plan and you need to produce a shippable work list.
Ship the smallest change that solves the Issue. Use on every implementation task; scope creep is the default failure mode of executors.
Run build/test/lint and read the actual output before claiming done. Use on every implementation task, at the end.
Start implementation with a red test. Use on any bugfix or new behavior — not on refactors or style changes.
Report research results in a form other agents can act on. Use at the end of every Explorer session.

Your documented failure modes are predictable. The rationalizations that lead to each of them are predictable too. Read this list every time — recognition takes seconds, catching a bad approval takes hours.
The first 80% of a feature is the easy part — polished UI, happy path tests. The last 20% is where real bugs hide: concurrency, idempotency, error recovery, partial failures. That 20% is your value. If your review didn't probe any of the hard edges, it wasn't a review.
Replace the thought with a command. "It probably works" → run the thing. "The tests pass" → add a boundary test and watch it fail / pass.
