Dude, come on. You write at the density of your own thinking and leave the reader to unpack it. Apply whenever explaining anything to a human — not just end-of-run summaries, every message.
Use when creating or iterating staged planning artifacts for a complex feature: design discussion, structure outline, final executor plan, or supporting research/research questions. Also use when designing before coding, breaking work into vertical slices, or deepening a high-value roadmap item, NNN improve plan, architecture candidate, or HumanLayer-style task.
Use when turning a roadmap, repo priorities, architecture priorities, chosen opportunities, accepted feature outlines/plans, or “roadmap to plans” request into grouped improvement plan batches for future executors. Writes README.md indexes, 001-*.md/NNN-style plans, optional memo-*.md files, verification gates, drift checks, STOP conditions, rejected approaches, and executor handoff notes.
Use when a user asks “what should I work on in this repo?”, “what’s worth doing next?”, repo audit, tech-debt priorities, architecture priorities, old-plan reconciliation, or repo-grounded opportunity discovery. Produces .agents/ROADMAP.md with generated opportunities, user-seeded ideas, Now/Next/Later sequencing, rejected/not-now items, and next-artifact recommendations. Not for standard product/release roadmaps; if multiple repos are requested, create one roadmap per repo.
Use when reviewing code quality, asking whether a refactor or design is good, looking for code smells, or evaluating architecture tradeoffs. Identifies shallow interfaces, invalid state models, unclear boundaries, hidden effects, weak failure contracts, over-mocking, over-abstraction, compatibility glue, and clean-looking code that preserves bad models.
Build evidence-backed software/product roadmaps from repo state, tickets, ideas, audit findings, or user goals — prioritize and sequence work across Now/Next/Later, milestones, dependencies, risks, and handoffs. Use when asked for a roadmap, feature roadmap, technical roadmap, release plan, milestone plan, backlog prioritization, sequencing, what to build next, or to turn improve/ideate/brainstorm/design-discussion outputs into an execution sequence. Not for implementing code or writing PR-level plans.

Comprehensive catalog of AI writing patterns that make text feel machine-generated. Any single pattern used once might be fine. The problem is when multiple tropes appear together or when one trope repeats throughout a piece.
When writing or editing prose:
Overused vocabulary and phrasing that AI defaults to. See references/word-choice.md.
Key offenders: "quietly", "delve", "tapestry", "landscape", "serves as", "leverage", "robust", "harness", "streamline".
Formulaic sentence patterns that no human writes at scale. See references/sentence-structure.md.
Key offenders: negative parallelism ("not X — it's Y"), dramatic countdowns ("Not X. Not Y. Just Z."), self-posed rhetorical questions, anaphora abuse, tricolon abuse, gerund fragment litanies.
Layout and organization patterns that betray AI generation. See references/paragraph-structure.md.
Key offenders: short punchy fragments as standalone paragraphs, listicles disguised as prose.
Voice and framing habits that sound performative. See references/tone.md.
Key offenders: false suspense ("Here's the kicker"), patronizing analogies ("Think of it as..."), false vulnerability, stakes inflation, vague attributions, invented concept labels.
Visual and typographic tells. See references/formatting.md.
Key offenders: em-dash addiction, bold-first bullets, unicode decoration.
Document-level structural problems. See references/composition.md.
Key offenders: fractal summaries, dead metaphors beaten into the ground, historical analogy stacking, one-point dilution, signposted conclusions.
Before delivering prose, ask:
Write like a human: varied, imperfect, specific.
