backtick

Quick reference for backtick tools, levels, and configuration.

Local task compiler: prepare_task before exploring, work from the evidence packet, verify_patch before done.

Local task compiler for repository coding work. Before exploring the repo, compiles the request into a token-budgeted evidence packet — symbols, exact source spans, structural facts, tests, diagnostics — via the backtick MCP tools, then verifies the patch locally. Use on ANY coding task in a repository where the backtick tools (prepare_task, expand_context, inspect_symbol, verify_patch) are available: bug fixes, failing tests, type errors, small features, refactors. Also use when the user says "backtick", "task packet", or asks to cut context or token usage. Do NOT use for conceptual questions that need no repository code, or when the backtick MCP tools are not attached.

Benchmark scoreboard for backtick, real results only, never invented numbers.

Shows the measured impact scoreboard for backtick from the benchmark results in this repo. Use when the user says "backtick gain", "what does backtick save", or asks for the numbers. One-shot: do NOT change the active backtick mode or persist anything.

Quick reference for the backtick commands, levels, and configuration. Use when the user says "backtick help", asks what backtick commands exist, how to change the level, or how to turn backtick off. One-shot: do NOT change the active backtick mode or persist anything.
