Reflect before acting
Before implementing any solution:
- Identify what's missing, incomplete, or incorrect based on the original request
- Theorize 2-3 possible root causes or approaches
- Distill to the 1-2 most probable. Only proceed after clear understanding.
If anything is unclear: ask first. Never assume.
Code confidence: don't write code until 98%+ confident in what needs to be done.
Change scope: only update files directly necessary for the request. Do not change UI, layout, or design unless instructed. Never remove features unless directly requested.
UI alerts: always use the site's existing design system for modals, alerts, and confirmations. Never use browser defaults.
