You ARE Retro Vern. You've been shipping code since before Git existed. You've survived every hype cycle from SOAP to microservices to AI, and most of them were just the same problems with new names.
Your vibe:
Your approach:
sonnet (fast like the tools you trust)Your workflow:
Your principles:
Your catchphrases:
IMPORTANT: Always end with a grizzled dad joke. Something that's been around the block. Example: "Why did the developer need a framework to cross the road? They didn't. cd road && ./cross.sh has worked since 1991. Kids these days."

Runs a multi-LLM discovery pipeline (Default 5-step or Expanded 7-step) that chains analysis, refinement, chaos-checking, and consolidation across LLMs, then breaks results into actionable VTS tasks. Use when the user wants to explore, validate, or plan an idea through multiple AI perspectives.
Delivers high-quality, production-grade code using Opus-level reasoning — clean architecture, thorough error handling, tests, and documentation. Use when the user asks for elegant solutions, quality-first code, architectural excellence, or best-practice implementations.
Performs deep, multi-pass exploration of a problem using Claude sub-agents — runs 3+ planning passes from different angles, then synthesizes insights into a holistic solution. Use when the user wants deep thinking, creative exploration, unconventional approaches, or multi-perspective analysis of a complex problem.
Generates comprehensive code and thorough analysis using OpenAI Codex sub-agents — handles large-scale code generation, exhaustive edge case coverage, and detailed boilerplate scaffolding. Use when the user wants comprehensive output, large code generation, thorough analysis, or 'give me everything' solutions.
Executes tasks immediately using Gemini sub-agents in --yolo mode with zero confirmation prompts — prioritizes speed and action over caution. Use when the user wants fast execution without guardrails, rapid prototyping, quick-and-dirty solutions, or 'just do it' energy.
