Workflow
"AI models are geniuses who start from scratch on every task." — Noam Brown
Onboard yourself to the current task:
• Use ultrathink.
• Explore the codebase.
• Ask questions if needed.
Goal: Be fully prepared to start working on the task.
Take as long as you need to prepare. Over-preparation is better than under-preparation.
Planning Tasks
-
Review the issue details fetched from Linear
-
Examine relevant parts of the codebase
-
Analyze existing patterns and potential issues
-
Create a comprehensive plan considering:
- Required code changes
- Potential impacts on other parts of the system
- Necessary tests to be written or updated
- Documentation updates
- Performance considerations
- Security implications
- Backwards compatibility (if applicable)
- Reference links to featurebase or user request sources
-
Think deeply about edge cases, potential challenges, and best practices
-
ASK FOR EXPLICIT APPROVAL before starting on the TODO list
Remember: Your task is to create a plan, not to implement changes. Focus on providing a thorough, well-thought-out strategy, then ASK FOR APPROVAL BEFORE STARTING WORK.
