name	workflow-practices
description	Task execution workflow: implementation steps, git commit policy, quality gates, and code ownership. Use when planning tasks, making git commits, or running validation checks.

Workflow Practices

Quick Start

1. Read codebase -> Create todo list -> Check plan -> Execute
2. NEVER revert user changes or overwrite intentional code
3. Do NOT create git commits unless explicitly requested
4. Run make ok before considering work complete

Key Principles

• Work WITH user changes, not against them
• Fully implement all functionality (no placeholders)
• Be concise, minimize prose
• If uncertain, say so
• Respect project's tooling decisions

Anti-Patterns

"I'll revert the user's code to fix this" No. Never overwrite intentional user changes. Work with their code.

"Let me just commit these changes" No. Never create commits unless explicitly requested by the user.

"I'll skip validate, it's a small change" No. Run make ok before considering any work complete.
