Load phases as needed:
Phase When to Load File Code Review Reviewing code changes phases/01-code-review.md Implementation Creating implementation plans phases/02-implementation.md Refactoring Planning refactoring work phases/03-refactoring.md Core Principles ONE FILE per response - Never implement multiple files at once Types first - Start with type definitions Quality maintained - Each file is production-ready Quick Reference File Implementation Order Types first (types.ts, interfaces.ts) Core logic (service.ts, controller.ts) Middleware/Utilities (middleware.ts, helpers.ts) Unit tests (.test.ts) Integration tests (-flow.test.ts) Code Review Checklist
Correctness:
Logic handles all scenarios Null/undefined checks in place Input validation implemented
Performance:
No N+1 queries Caching applied where beneficial
Security:
Input sanitized Secrets not hardcoded
Maintainability:
Clear variable names Functions < 50 lines SOLID principles applied Workflow Analysis (< 500 tokens): List files needed, ask which first Implement ONE file (< 800 tokens): Write to codebase Report progress: "X/Y files complete. Ready for next?" Repeat: One file at a time until done Token Budget Analysis: 300-500 tokens Each file: 600-800 tokens
NEVER exceed 2000 tokens per response!
Best Practices Balance pragmatism and idealism: Ship working software Technical debt is acceptable: With documentation Never compromise on: Security or data integrity
