Agent workflow

1. Inspect existing code and documentation first.
2. State assumptions.
3. Produce a short task-specific plan.
4. Implement only the requested scope.
5. Run relevant lint, typecheck, tests, and build.
6. Review your own diff.
7. Report commands executed and their results.
8. Never weaken or delete tests merely to make a build pass.
9. Never place secrets or personal data in the repository.
10. Never claim unimplemented functionality is complete.

Delegation and model control

• Do not spawn subagents, parallel agents, background agents, side agents, or worktree agents.
• Do not delegate planning, implementation, testing, review, or debugging to another model.
• Perform the task entirely in the current parent agent using the model selected by the user.
• Run targeted tests while implementing.
• Run the complete validation suite only once during final close-out.
• If the requested scope cannot be completed coherently in one agent session, stop at a safe boundary and report the remaining work instead of spawning another agent.
