Work Focus-first

Use Focus as the first step for coding, debugging, and operations instead of starting from guesses or a cold code search.

When to Use This Skill

Use this as the default workflow when beginning new work in a repo or resuming after interruption.

Workflow Overview

1. Search Focus for the feature, subsystem, or problem statement first.
2. Build a context pack for the exact task once you know the likely area.
3. Review recent changes, active tickets, and governance if the work touches durable behavior.
4. Use the retrieved context to drive implementation and save back important findings when done.

Examples

• Start with Focus before touching auth refresh logic.
• Build a context pack before changing installer behavior.
• Use Focus to recover state after a long interruption.
