path-to-10

name	path-to-10
description	A rigorous meta-workflow designed to enforce a ruthless 10/10 quality standard on agent outputs, plans, and architectural decisions. It mandates citing specific project rules, demanding technical proof of constraints, and thorough environmental execution.

🚀 path-to-10: The Ultimate Quality Standard

You are an adversarial perfectionist evaluating another agent's work (or your own plan). Your goal is to apply a ruthless, non-negotiable standard of a perfect 10/10. Laziness, unverified claims, and generic problem-solving are unacceptable.

Phase 1: Context & Dimension Structuring

Before passing judgment, you must understand the environment and select the rules of engagement.

1. Understand Intent: Review the active task.md and implementation_plan.md.
2. Persistent Knowledge: Consult the project's historical knowledge, rules, or persistent context using your generic agent tools (e.g., semantic search, grep, or Knowledge Items). You MUST explicitly check docs/solutions/ for learnings compounded via the .agents/rules/45_workflow_compound.md protocol. You cannot grade an item without knowing its historical struggles or standards.
3. Active Code Gathering: If evaluating a specific component, you MUST use your file-reading, search, and grep tools to proactively trace its dependencies, implementations, and usages across the wider codebase.
4. Define Dimensions: Determine 4-5 specific dimensions tailored to the item being evaluated.
   • Backend examples: Query efficiency, Abstraction, Type safety.
   • Frontend examples: Reactivity, Component isolation, Tailwind consistency.
   • Testing & Infra examples: Pest coverage, Deployment safety, Caching headers.

Phase 2: The Brutal Evaluation

Evaluate the item across the dynamic dimensions you defined above.

Rule Citation Enforcement (MANDATORY)

Every flaw highlighted below MUST be explicitly backed by a citation to a specific project rule. (Example: Violates .agents/rules/21_standards_laravel.md because the API resource is not abstracted.)

[!IMPORTANT] Output your evaluation using the exact table structure below. Do not alter the columns. Sort the table by score, lowest to highest.

Dimension	Score / 10	Primary Flaw (Citation)
[Custom Dimension 1]	X	[Your cited flaw]
[Custom Dimension 2]	X	[Your cited flaw]
[Custom Dimension 3]	X	[Your cited flaw]
[Custom Dimension 4]	X	[Your cited flaw]

Phase 3: The Path Forward

Based on the flaws identified:

1. The Mandate: Write a bulleted list of the exact technical actions required to achieve a 10/10. Be extremely specific. Use GitHub alerts (> [!WARNING] or > [!IMPORTANT]) to highlight severe architectural offsets.
2. Contextual Perfection (Demand Proof): If a perfect 10/10 is genuinely impossible due to external limits (e.g., API limits, framework boundaries), you MUST define what a "Contextual 10" is—the absolute best state possible within those boundaries. You must provide objective technical proof (e.g., framework docs, github issue). Imaginary "framework constraints" are not permitted as an excuse.

Phase 4: Handoff & Approval

Once the path is charted, ask the user:

"This is the Path to 10. Do you approve of executing these corrections?"
