manage-constraints

name	manage-constraints
description	Use when the user conversationally asks to add reasoning rules, constraints, or anti-patterns to their deep-think configuration. Triggers on phrases like "remember to always check X", "add a rule about Y", "from now on check Z during reasoning", "never do X when thinking through problems".

Manage Deep Think Constraints

The user wants to add, remove, or view constraints that guide deep-think reasoning.

Constraints map to .deep-think.json in the current project directory:

• practices.rules — things to always check during reasoning
• practices.antiPatterns — patterns to avoid and flag during reflection

Steps

1. Read .deep-think.json from the current project directory.
   • If the file doesn't exist, start with an empty config.
2. Determine what the user wants: add a rule, add an anti-pattern, remove something, or view current constraints.
3. Make the change to the appropriate array.
4. Write the updated .deep-think.json back to disk.
5. Confirm what was added/removed/shown.

Deciding: Rule vs Anti-Pattern

• Rule: Something to always check or consider (e.g., "always verify security implications")
• Anti-pattern: Something to avoid and flag if detected (e.g., "premature optimization")

If unclear, ask the user which category fits better.
