Best Practices

Pre-implementation confidence assessment (≥90% required). Use before starting any implementation to verify readiness with duplicate check, architecture compliance, official docs verification, OSS references, and root cause identification.

Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
