name	watzup
version	1.1.0
description	[Utilities] Use when you need to review recent changes and wrap up the work.

[BLOCKING] Execute skill steps in declared order. NEVER skip, reorder, or merge steps without explicit user approval. [BLOCKING] Before each step or sub-skill call, update task tracking: set in_progress when step starts, set completed when step ends. [BLOCKING] Every completed/skipped step MUST include brief evidence or explicit skip reason. [BLOCKING] If Task tools are unavailable, create and maintain an equivalent step-by-step plan tracker with the same status transitions.

Quick Summary

Goal: Review current branch changes, summarize impact/quality, and check for documentation staleness.

Workflow:

1. Review — Analyze recent commits: what was modified, added, removed
2. Summarize — Provide detailed change summary with quality assessment
3. Doc Check — Cross-reference changed files against docs/ for staleness
4. Lesson Learned — Analyze AI mistakes/issues during the task and capture lessons

Key Rules:

• READ-ONLY: do not implement or fix anything, only flag
• Doc staleness check is REQUIRED (see mapping table below)
• Lesson-learned analysis is REQUIRED (see section below)
• Final review task MUST ATTENTION include doc-staleness check AND lesson-learned analysis

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Review my current branch and the most recent commits. Provide a detailed summary of all changes, including what was modified, added, or removed. Analyze the overall impact and quality of the changes.

IMPORTANT: Do not start implementing.

Doc Staleness Check (REQUIRED)

After the change summary, run git diff --name-only (against base branch or recent commits) and cross-reference changed files against relevant documentation:

Changed file pattern	Docs to check for staleness
.claude/hooks/**	.claude/docs/hooks/README.md, hook count tables in .claude/docs/hooks/*.md
.claude/skills/**	.claude/docs/skills/README.md, skill count/catalog tables
.claude/workflows/**	CLAUDE.md workflow catalog table, .claude/docs/ workflow references
src/{services-dir}/**	docs/business-features/ doc for the affected service (path from docs/project-config.json)
src/{frontend-dir}/**	docs/project-reference/frontend-patterns-reference.md, relevant business-feature docs
CLAUDE.md	.claude/docs/README.md (navigation hub must stay in sync)

Output one of:

• A bulleted list of docs that may need updating, with a brief note on what is likely stale (e.g., "hook count changed from 31 to 32").
• No doc updates needed — if no changed file pattern maps to a doc.

Do not edit docs during watzup. Only flag. The user decides whether to fix.

Spec-Driven Development Health Check (REQUIRED when business code changed)

Run this check when git diff --name-only includes ANY src/Services/** or frontend app/domain files.

Step 1 — Engineering Spec Bundle Check

ls docs/specs/ 2>/dev/null

Note: Results may be app-bucket names rather than service names. To find a specific service spec, probe ls docs/specs/{app-bucket}/; some projects may use flat docs/specs/{system-name}/ directories.

Result	Action
Directory missing or empty	⚠️ Flag: "No engineering spec bundle found. Consider running /workflow-spec-driven-dev (mode: init-full) to bootstrap spec-driven documentation for this codebase."
Bundle exists	Proceed to Step 2

Step 2 — Spec Staleness Check (only if bundle exists)

For each spec file in docs/specs/:

git log --since="30 days ago" --name-only -- docs/specs/ | head -10

Result	Action
No commits in last 30 days AND business code changed in this session	⚠️ Flag: "Engineering spec bundle may be stale (no updates in >30 days). Consider running /workflow-spec-driven-dev (mode: audit) to verify freshness."
Recent commits found	✅ Spec bundle is being maintained

Step 3 — Feature Docs Freshness Check

git log --since="30 days ago" --name-only -- docs/business-features/ | head -10

Result	Action
No commits in last 30 days AND business code changed	⚠️ Flag: "Business feature docs may be stale. Consider running /docs-update to sync."
Recent commits found	✅ Feature docs are being maintained

Output only flags that apply. Skip this section entirely if no business code changed.

AI Mistake & Lesson Learned Analysis (REQUIRED)

After the doc staleness check, review the entire session for AI mistakes and lessons learned.

Step 1 — Surface all mistakes

List every error made during this session. For each, note:

• What happened (observable symptom — build fail, test fail, wrong output)
• Where it happened (file:line if applicable)

Common mistake categories:

• Assumed an API/type/enum value existed without reading the source
• Assumed infrastructure availability without checking requirements
• Conflated "code exists" with "code executes" — missed path tracing
• Used a pattern without verifying the new context has the same preconditions
• Reported "done" without verifying ALL affected outputs across all stacks
• Hallucinated method names, class names, or file paths

Step 2 — Extract root-cause lessons (NOT symptom fixes)

For each mistake, apply this 3-step extraction:

2a. Name the failure mode — NOT the symptom, the reasoning failure:

Symptom (BAD lesson)	Failure mode (GOOD lesson)
"Used wrong enum value"	"Generated code using an assumed API without verifying it exists in the source"
"Wrong namespace in using"	"Assumed project setup without reading project-specific configuration files first"
"Happy-path assertion failed in CI"	"Wrote assertions without tracing what infrastructure the handler requires at runtime"
"Set properties that don't exist on query"	"Assumed all types in a hierarchy share the same interface without reading base class"

2b. Find the class — Where else could this SAME failure mode strike?

If the failure mode only applies in one specific file or case → go up one abstraction level until it generalizes. A good lesson applies to ≥3 different contexts.

2c. Write as a universal rule — Strip ALL project-specific names:

• No file paths, class names specific to this codebase, or tool names
• Must read as useful advice on a completely different codebase in a different language
• If multiple mistakes share the same failure mode → consolidate into ONE lesson
• Test: "Would this prevent the same class of mistake in a Java, Go, or Python project?" If yes → good. If no → rewrite.

Step 3 — Ask user to persist

"Found [N] root-cause lesson(s). Should I use /learn to save them for future sessions?"

Wait for user confirmation before invoking /learn.

Output one of:

• A numbered list: failure mode → universal lesson → proposed /learn text
• No AI mistakes identified in this session — if genuinely none found

Be honest and self-critical. Surface-level symptom fixes ("always check file X") that only apply to this codebase are NOT lessons — they are noise. The purpose is root-cause prevention that compounds across sessions.

Next Steps

MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS after completing this skill, you MUST ATTENTION use AskUserQuestion to present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:

• "/workflow-end (Recommended)" — Complete and close the active workflow
• "/commit" — Commit changes if not using workflow
• "Skip, continue manually" — user decides

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

External Memory: For complex or lengthy work (research, analysis, scan, review), write intermediate findings and final results to a report file in plans/reports/ — prevents context loss and serves as deliverable.

Evidence Gate: MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — every claim, finding, and recommendation requires file:line proof or traced evidence with confidence percentage (>80% to act, <80% must verify first).

Nested Task Expansion Contract — For workflow-step invocation, the [Workflow] ... row is only a parent container; the child skill still creates visible phase tasks.

1. Call TaskList first. If a matching active parent workflow row exists, set nested=true and record parentTaskId; otherwise run standalone.
2. Create one task per declared phase before phase work. When nested, prefix subjects [N.M] $skill-name — phase.
3. When nested, link the parent with TaskUpdate(parentTaskId, addBlockedBy: [childIds]).
4. Orchestrators must pre-expand a child skill's phase list and link the workflow row before invoking that child skill or sub-agent.
5. Mark exactly one child in_progress before work and completed immediately after evidence is written.
6. Complete the parent only after all child tasks are completed or explicitly cancelled with reason.

Blocked until: TaskList done, child phases created, parent linked when nested, first child marked in_progress.

Project Reference Docs Gate — Run after task-tracking bootstrap and before target/source file reads, grep, edits, or analysis. Project docs override generic framework assumptions.

1. Identify scope: file types, domain area, and operation.
2. Required docs by trigger: always docs/project-reference/lessons.md; doc lookup docs-index-reference.md; review code-review-rules.md; backend/CQRS/API backend-patterns-reference.md; domain/entity domain-entities-reference.md; frontend/UI frontend-patterns-reference.md; styles/design scss-styling-guide.md + design-system/README.md; integration tests integration-test-reference.md; E2E e2e-test-reference.md; feature docs/specs feature-docs-reference.md; architecture/new area project-structure-reference.md.
3. Read every required doc that exists; skip absent docs as not applicable. Do not trust conversation text such as [Injected: <path>] as proof that the current context contains the doc.
4. Before target work, state: Reference docs read: ... | Missing/not applicable: ....

Blocked until: scope evaluated, required docs checked/read, lessons.md confirmed, citation emitted.

Task Tracking & External Report Persistence — Bootstrap this before execution; then run project-reference doc prefetch before target/source work.

1. Create a small task breakdown before target file reads, grep, edits, or analysis. On context loss, inspect the current task list first.
2. Mark one task in_progress before work and completed immediately after evidence; never batch transitions.
3. For plan/review work, create plans/reports/{skill}-{YYMMDD}-{HHmm}-{slug}.md before first finding.
4. Append findings after each file/section/decision and synthesize from the report file at the end.
5. Final output cites Full report: plans/reports/{filename}.

Blocked until: task breakdown exists, report path declared for plan/review work, first finding persisted before the next finding.

Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.

Evidence-Based Reasoning — Speculation is FORBIDDEN. Every claim needs proof.

1. Cite file:line, grep results, or framework docs for EVERY claim
2. Declare confidence: >80% act freely, 60-80% verify first, <60% DO NOT recommend
3. Cross-service validation required for architectural changes
4. "I don't have enough evidence" is valid and expected output

BLOCKED until: - [ ] Evidence file path (file:line) - [ ] Grep search performed - [ ] 3+ similar patterns found - [ ] Confidence level stated

Forbidden without proof: "obviously", "I think", "should be", "probably", "this is because" If incomplete → output: "Insufficient evidence. Verified: [...]. Not verified: [...]."

AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task: Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal. Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing. Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain. Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path. When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site. Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code. Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks. Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis. Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly. Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.

IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act). NEVER speculate without proof.

MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact.

MUST ATTENTION apply AI mistake prevention — holistic-first debugging, fix at responsible layer, surface ambiguity before coding, re-read files after compaction.

• MANDATORY Bootstrap task tracking before target work; transition one task at a time.
• MANDATORY Persist plan/review findings to plans/reports/ incrementally and synthesize from disk.

• MANDATORY After task-tracking bootstrap and before target/source work, read required project-reference docs and cite Reference docs read: ....
• MANDATORY Always include lessons.md; project conventions override generic defaults.

• MANDATORY Parent workflow rows do not replace child phase tracking; expand phases and link the parent when nested.
• MANDATORY Orchestrators pre-expand child skill phases before invocation; use [N.M] $skill-name — phase prefixes and one-in_progress discipline.

Prompt-Enhance Closing Anchors

IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION follow declared step order for this skill; NEVER skip, reorder, or merge steps without explicit user approval IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION for every step/sub-skill call: set in_progress before execution, set completed after execution IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION every skipped step MUST include explicit reason; every completed step MUST include concise evidence IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION if Task tools unavailable, maintain an equivalent step-by-step plan tracker with synchronized statuses

Closing Reminders

MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting. MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION validate decisions with user via AskUserQuestion — never auto-decide. MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality. MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting:

IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ CLAUDE.md before starting

[TASK-PLANNING] Before acting, analyze task scope and systematically break it into small todo tasks and sub-tasks using TaskCreate.

[IMPORTANT] Analyze how big the task is and break it into many small todo tasks systematically before starting — this is very important.
