// Supports preparing commits, pre-commit hooks, Spotless, formatting or linting, validation before commit, staging files, and writing conventional commits.
Use when rewriting CHANGELOG.md, GitHub release notes, or Release Please PR changelog sections into user-facing release notes; do not use for release publishing, assets, licence, or workflow readiness checks.
Use for GitHub issue triage and local investigation, including gh issue workflows, picking a fresh issue, reproducing issue reports, and planning regression coverage.
Use for Dependabot PRs, dependency bumps, Gradle or Maven dependency updates, GitHub Actions updates, dependency changelog/licence/release-note review, JVM/classfile checks, and validation recommendations.
Use when running, selecting, authoring, or triaging integration tests, Kotest specs, Gradle matrix tasks, FakePlayer-backed test cases, or compact test-result files; do not use for unrelated production-only edits, release publishing, or general PR prose.
Use for Java 8 backports, Bukkit/Paper version differences, NMS/reflection, PacketEvents compatibility, fake-player implementation choices, and feature-detection design; do not use for release publishing, PR wording, or simple test-running decisions.
Use for config.yml, module enablement, modesets, config migration, configurable module assignment, and per-module option changes; do not use for unrelated integration-test triage, release publishing, or PR summaries.
