name	apex-tier1
description	Execute well-defined tasks autonomously with zero human intervention. Fire-and-forget mode for straightforward work like adding tests, fixing lint errors, writing docs, or implementing simple features. Use when the task is clear, low-risk, and has objective pass/fail criteria. Triggers on keywords like fire and forget, autonomous task, simple fix, add tests, fix lint.

APEX Tier 1 — Fire and Forget

Execute a well-defined task from start to finish without human intervention. Open a draft PR when done.

When to Use

Use Tier 1 when ALL of these are true:

• The task has clear, unambiguous acceptance criteria
• Failure is cheap (can be reverted easily)
• No architectural decisions are required
• The scope is small (one feature, one fix, one file group)

Do NOT use Tier 1 when:

• The task requires design decisions → use apex-tier2 or apex-tier3
• The task touches critical infrastructure → use apex-tier3
• The requirements are vague → clarify first, then decide tier

Workflow

1. Parse the task into acceptance criteria
2. Create a working branch
3. Implement the change
4. Run the self-correcting loop
5. Open a draft PR

Step 1: Parse Task into Acceptance Criteria

Convert the task description into a checklist:

Task: "Add unit tests for the UserService class"

Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] Tests cover all public methods of UserService
- [ ] Tests cover error/edge cases documented in the class
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] Coverage does not decrease
- [ ] Lint passes
