dots

record context that would help in future sessions. use after learning something, discovering a gotcha, or making a decision worth preserving. test: would a future agent starting fresh benefit from knowing this?

git workflows for agents: ship (stage → commit → push), hunks (selective staging). never force push, never git add -A, conventional commits. triggers on: commit, push, stage, ship, git add, hunks, selective staging.

systematic investigation and debugging methodology. hypothesis-driven analysis with verification agents. use for incident response, codebase archaeology, dependency mapping, root cause analysis, or any investigation requiring verified findings.

apply documentation philosophy — explain why, not what. use for jsdocs, READMEs, inline comments.

write in amp's voice — direct, technical, opinionated, honest. use for technical writing that should feel authoritative without being academic. derived from analysis of amp's content patterns.

epistemic standards for evaluation and analysis. load before reviewing code, debugging, reporting findings, or any task where claims must be defensible. enforces trace-or-delete, confidence labeling, falsification.

prose style guide. use when your output includes ANYTHING other than a code snippet. use during conversation, and every time you write to a file, commit, PR. enforces academish voice: supported claims, precise language, no hyperbole. user tone: lowercase, terse, anti-sycophancy.
