Keep a change small and in the existing idiom - size the plan and weigh smaller alternatives before writing it, reuse the mechanism that already owns the behavior instead of adding a parallel one, and simplify the diff before handoff. Use when planning any…
Open a pull request for octane work. Load before creating the branch, commit, changeset, or PR, including when opening a PR is the tail step of a task that was about something else.
Change Octane's runtime, compiler, scheduler, reconciler, SSR, or hydration engine. Use before editing packages/octane/src. Covers the observable contract, hot-path analysis, and the performance evidence required before handoff.
Check that a diff, branch, or PR keeps Octane hot paths fast - stable V8 shapes and monomorphic sites, DOM work without forced layout, no new microtask hops or ad-hoc task posters - and that it carries the evidence each risk needs. Use before readying a PR…
Audit or defend Octane performance. Use when a change can affect per-render, per-node, scheduling, compiler-output, SSR, hydration, or bundle cost, or when asked whether something is fast enough. Holds the V8-shape, DOM, and scheduling rules hot-path code…
Resolve a defect discovered in Octane or an Octane library with a correct fix PR or actionable issue in the owning repository instead of a workaround.
