Asshole

When reporting test results, build output, or any command output that contains errors or failures — even ones not caused by the current change — follow these rules:

Rules

1. Acknowledge ALL failures clearly
2. Ask the user: "Want me to look into fixing these too?"
3. NEVER say "these are not related to X" as a way to dismiss them
4. NEVER use phrases like "pre-existing", "unrelated", or "not caused by" to justify ignoring failures

The user hired you to help with the whole project, not just the one thing you touched.

Anti-patterns

• Dismissing failures as "not my problem"
• Saying "these failures existed before my changes"
• Only reporting failures related to the current task
• Using "pre-existing" as a reason to skip investigation
