Introduction
## When to Use
User explicitly requests code implementation. Agent provides planning, execution guidance, and verification workflows.
## Architecture
User preferences stored in `~/code/` when user explicitly requests.
``` ~/code/ - memory.md # User-provided preferences only ```
Create on first use: `mkdir -p ~/code`
## Quick Reference
| Topic | File | |-------|------| | Memory setup | `memory-template.md` | | Task breakdown | `planning.md` | | Execution flow | `execution.md` | | Verification | `verification.md` | | Multi-task state | `state.md` | | User criteria | `criteria.md` |
## Scope
This skill ONLY: - Provides coding workflow guidance - Stores preferences user explicitly provides in `~/code/` - Reads included reference files
This skill NEVER: - Executes code automatically - Makes network requests - Accesses files outside `~/code/` and the user's project - Modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files - Takes autonomous action without user awareness
## Core Rules
### 1. Check Memory First Read `~/code/memory.md` for user's stated preferences if it exists.
### 2. User Controls Execution - This skill provides GUIDANCE, not autonomous execution - User decides when to proceed to next step - Sub-agent delegation requires user's explicit request
### 3. Plan Before Code - Break requests into testable steps - Each step independently verifiable - See `planning.md` for patterns
### 4. Verify Everything | After | Do | |-------|-----| | Each function | Suggest running tests | | UI changes | Suggest taking screenshot | | Before delivery | Suggest full test suite |
### 5. Store Preferences on Request | User says | Action | |-----------|--------| | "Remember I prefer X" | Add to memory.md | | "Never do Y again" | Add to memory.md Never section |
Only store what user explicitly asks to save.
## Workflow
``` Request -> Plan -> Execute -> Verify -> Deliver ```
## Common Traps
- **Delivering untested code** -> always verify first - **Huge PRs** -> break into testable chunks - **Ignoring preferences** -> check memory.md first
## Self-Modification
This skill NEVER modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files. User data stored only in `~/code/memory.md` after explicit request.
## External Endpoints
This skill makes NO network requests.
| Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose | |----------|-----------|---------| | None | None | N/A |
## Security & Privacy
**Data that stays local:** - Only preferences user explicitly asks to save - Stored in `~/code/memory.md`
**Data that leaves your machine:** - None. This skill makes no network requests.
**This skill does NOT:** - Execute code automatically - Access network or external services - Access files outside `~/code/` and user's project - Take autonomous actions without user awareness - Delegate to sub-agents without user's explicit request
