Execute broad changes one coherent, independently verifiable stage at a time. Use when work spans multiple independently reviewable changes, or when contracts, producer-consumer migrations, generated artefacts, or release packaging create an ordered multi-stage rollout; skip small single-purpose changes.
Commit workflow using the dot git-commit gateway in the maintainer's concise one-line style. Use only after the user explicitly requests a commit or push, including /commit or /commit-push. Never infer repeat authorisation from an earlier commit or push; never run raw git commit.
Patterns for working with git branches, remotes, diffs against the default branch, and rebases. Use when resolving rebase conflicts, continuing interactive rebases, amending commits, or any git operation that would open an interactive editor.
Investigate a topic against primary sources and return cited findings, comparing credible maintainer and contributor perspectives when judgement is involved. Use when the user wants a topic researched, docs, API, or spec facts gathered, an external library or GitHub behaviour verified, competing views compared, or reading legwork delegated to a background agent.
Ask minimal clarifying questions only when ambiguity materially changes implementation. Use for routine underspecification; do not use for user-requested light or full grilling, plan stress-testing, or broad design interviews.
Stress-test a plan or proposed change through focused one-question-at-a-time grilling, with light and full intensity. Use when the user says grill, grill me, grill me lightly, ask me a couple of questions, stress-test this plan, or wants question-led scrutiny before planning.
Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.
Review code changes along two axes - Standards (does it follow the repo's conventions, plus a Fowler code-smell baseline?) and Spec (does it implement what the originating issue or spec asked for?). Use when reviewing a pull request, a branch, work-in-progress changes, or a diff.
