// Build Ruby CLI tools with Thor and Zeitwerk. Use for new Ruby CLI gems, adding commands, refactoring, or 'Thor CLI', 'command-line tool in Ruby'.
Read, send input to, or spawn other tmux panes, windows, and sessions - including agents (Claude Code, Codex), REPLs, and TUIs running in them. Use when the user references another pane, window, or agent.

Fetch secrets and create/manage 1Password items via CLI. Use when needing API keys, tokens, or credentials, or storing new secrets. Ask for the op://Vault/Item/field reference, not the secret itself.
Rigorous code review of completed implementation before committing. Use for features, refactors, and critical-path changes — not trivial changes (this is expensive).
Assess and improve codebase architecture via layered analysis and guided restructuring. Triggers on architecture review, structural assessment, design patterns, modularity, coupling, framework alignment.
Write clean, modular bash scripts with proper error handling. Triggers on 'write a script', 'bash script', 'shell script', or 'automate with bash'.

For rich terminal UI (headers, tables, spinners, confirmations), use the Gum gem:
ui.header("Section Title") # branded header with border
ui.success("Done!") # green checkmark
ui.error("Failed") # red X
ui.table(rows, columns: [...]) # formatted table
ui.spin("Working...") { ... } # spinner during work
See references/gum.md for setup and full API.
