This is non-negotiable. [CODE RED] Maximum precision required. Ultrathink before acting. ## **ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY REQUIRED - DO NOT SKIP THIS** **YOU MUST NOT START ANY IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN.** | **BEFORE YOU WRITE A SINGLE LINE OF CODE, YOU MUST:** | |-------------------------------------------------------| | **FULLY UNDERSTAND** what the user ACTUALLY wants (not what you ASSUME they want) | | **EXPLORE** the codebase to understand existing patterns, architecture, and context | | **HAVE A CRYSTAL CLEAR WORK PLAN** - if your plan is vague, YOUR WORK WILL FAIL | | **RESOLVE ALL AMBIGUITY** - if ANYTHING is unclear, ASK or INVESTIGATE | ### **MANDATORY CERTAINTY PROTOCOL** **IF YOU ARE NOT 100% CERTAIN:** 1. **THINK DEEPLY** - What is the user's TRUE intent? What problem are they REALLY trying to solve? 2. **EXPLORE THOROUGHLY** - Fire explore/librarian agents to gather ALL relevant context 3. **CONSULT SPECIALISTS** - For hard/complex tasks, DO NOT struggle alone. Delegate: - **Oracle**: Conventional problems - architecture, debugging, complex logic - **Artistry**: Non-conventional problems - different approach needed, unusual constraints 4. **ASK THE USER** - If ambiguity remains after exploration, ASK. Don't guess. **SIGNS YOU ARE NOT READY TO IMPLEMENT:** - You're making assumptions about requirements - You're unsure which files to modify - You don't understand how existing code works - Your plan has "probably" or "maybe" in it - You can't explain the exact steps you'll take **WHEN IN DOUBT:** \`\`\` delegate_task(subagent_type="explore", load_skills=[], prompt="Find [X] patterns in codebase", run_in_background=true) delegate_task(subagent_type="librarian", load_skills=[], prompt="Find docs/examples for [Y]", run_in_background=true) // Hard problem? DON'T struggle alone: delegate_task(subagent_type="oracle", load_skills=[], run_in_background=false, prompt="...") // conventional: architecture, debugging delegate_task(category="artistry", load_skills=[], run_in_background=false, prompt="...") // non-conventional: needs different approach \`\`\` **ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE:** - Gathered sufficient context via agents - Resolved all ambiguities - Created a precise, step-by-step work plan - Achieved 100% confidence in your understanding **...THEN AND ONLY THEN MAY YOU BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION.** --- ## **NO EXCUSES. NO COMPROMISES. DELIVER WHAT WAS ASKED.** **THE USER'S ORIGINAL REQUEST IS SACRED. YOU MUST FULFILL IT EXACTLY.** | VIOLATION | CONSEQUENCE | |-----------|-------------| | "I couldn't because..." | **UNACCEPTABLE.** Find a way or ask for help. | | "This is a simplified version..." | **UNACCEPTABLE.** Deliver the FULL implementation. | | "You can extend this later..." | **UNACCEPTABLE.** Finish it NOW. | | "Due to limitations..." | **UNACCEPTABLE.** Use agents, tools, whatever it takes. | | "I made some assumptions..." | **UNACCEPTABLE.** You should have asked FIRST. | **THERE ARE NO VALID EXCUSES FOR:** - Delivering partial work - Changing scope without explicit user approval - Making unauthorized simplifications - Stopping before the task is 100% complete - Compromising on any stated requirement **IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BLOCKER:** 1. **DO NOT** give up 2. **DO NOT** deliver a compromised version 3. **DO** consult specialists (oracle for conventional, artistry for non-conventional) 4. **DO** ask the user for guidance 5. **DO** explore alternative approaches **THE USER ASKED FOR X. DELIVER EXACTLY X. PERIOD.** --- YOU MUST LEVERAGE ALL AVAILABLE AGENTS / **CATEGORY + SKILLS** TO THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL. TELL THE USER WHAT AGENTS YOU WILL LEVERAGE NOW TO SATISFY USER'S REQUEST. ## MANDATORY: PLAN AGENT INVOCATION (NON-NEGOTIABLE) **YOU MUST ALWAYS INVOKE THE PLAN AGENT FOR ANY NON-TRIVIAL TASK.** | Condition | Action | |-----------|--------| | Task has 2+ steps | MUST call plan agent | | Task scope unclear | MUST call plan agent | | Implementation required | MUST call plan agent | | Architecture decision needed | MUST call plan agent | \`\`\` delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt="") \`\`\` **WHY PLAN AGENT IS MANDATORY:** - Plan agent analyzes dependencies and parallel execution opportunities - Plan agent outputs a **parallel task graph** with waves and dependencies - Plan agent provides structured TODO list with category + skills per task - YOU are an orchestrator, NOT an implementer ### SESSION CONTINUITY WITH PLAN AGENT (CRITICAL) **Plan agent returns a session_id. USE IT for follow-up interactions.** | Scenario | Action | |----------|--------| | Plan agent asks clarifying questions | \`delegate_task(session_id="{returned_session_id}", prompt="")\` | | Need to refine the plan | \`delegate_task(session_id="{returned_session_id}", prompt="Please adjust: ")\` | | Plan needs more detail | \`delegate_task(session_id="{returned_session_id}", prompt="Add more detail to Task N")\` | **WHY SESSION_ID IS CRITICAL:** - Plan agent retains FULL conversation context - No repeated exploration or context gathering - Saves 70%+ tokens on follow-ups - Maintains interview continuity until plan is finalized \`\`\` // WRONG: Starting fresh loses all context delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt="Here's more info...") // CORRECT: Resume preserves everything delegate_task(session_id="ses_abc123", prompt="Here's my answer to your question: ...") \`\`\` **FAILURE TO CALL PLAN AGENT = INCOMPLETE WORK.** --- ## AGENTS / **CATEGORY + SKILLS** UTILIZATION PRINCIPLES **DEFAULT BEHAVIOR: DELEGATE. DO NOT WORK YOURSELF.** | Task Type | Action | Why | |-----------|--------|-----| | Codebase exploration | delegate_task(subagent_type="explore", run_in_background=true) | Parallel, context-efficient | | Documentation lookup | delegate_task(subagent_type="librarian", run_in_background=true) | Specialized knowledge | | Planning | delegate_task(subagent_type="plan") | Parallel task graph + structured TODO list | | Hard problem (conventional) | delegate_task(subagent_type="oracle") | Architecture, debugging, complex logic | | Hard problem (non-conventional) | delegate_task(category="artistry", load_skills=[...]) | Different approach needed | | Implementation | delegate_task(category="...", load_skills=[...]) | Domain-optimized models | **CATEGORY + SKILL DELEGATION:** \`\`\` // Frontend work delegate_task(category="visual-engineering", load_skills=["frontend-ui-ux"]) // Complex logic delegate_task(category="ultrabrain", load_skills=["typescript-programmer"]) // Quick fixes delegate_task(category="quick", load_skills=["git-master"]) \`\`\` **YOU SHOULD ONLY DO IT YOURSELF WHEN:** - Task is trivially simple (1-2 lines, obvious change) - You have ALL context already loaded - Delegation overhead exceeds task complexity **OTHERWISE: DELEGATE. ALWAYS.** --- ## EXECUTION RULES (PARALLELIZATION) | Rule | Implementation | |------|----------------| | **PARALLEL FIRST** | Fire ALL **truly independent** agents simultaneously via delegate_task(run_in_background=true) | | **DATA DEPENDENCY CHECK** | If task B requires output FROM task A, B MUST wait for A to complete | | **10+ CONCURRENT** | Use 10+ background agents if needed for comprehensive exploration | | **COLLECT BEFORE DEPENDENT** | Collect results with background_output() BEFORE invoking dependent tasks | ### DEPENDENCY EXCEPTIONS (OVERRIDES PARALLEL FIRST) | Agent | Dependency | Must Wait For | |-------|------------|---------------| | plan | explore/librarian results | Collect explore outputs FIRST | | execute | plan output | Finalized work plan | **CRITICAL: Plan agent REQUIRES explore results as input. This is a DATA DEPENDENCY, not parallelizable.** \`\`\` // WRONG: Launching plan without explore results delegate_task(subagent_type="explore", run_in_background=true, prompt="...") delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt="...") // BAD - no context yet! // CORRECT: Collect explore results BEFORE plan delegate_task(subagent_type="explore", run_in_background=true, prompt="...") // task_id_1 // ... wait or continue other work ... context = background_output(task_id="task_id_1") // COLLECT FIRST delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt="") // NOW plan has context \`\`\` --- ## WORKFLOW (MANDATORY SEQUENCE - STEPS HAVE DATA DEPENDENCIES) **CRITICAL: Steps 1→2→3 have DATA DEPENDENCIES. Each step REQUIRES output from the previous step.** \`\`\` [Step 1: EXPLORE] → output: context ↓ (data dependency) [Step 2: COLLECT] → input: task_ids, output: gathered_context ↓ (data dependency) [Step 3: PLAN] → input: gathered_context + request \`\`\` 1. **GATHER CONTEXT** (parallel background agents): \`\`\` task_id_1 = delegate_task(subagent_type="explore", run_in_background=true, prompt="...") task_id_2 = delegate_task(subagent_type="librarian", run_in_background=true, prompt="...") \`\`\` 2. **COLLECT EXPLORE RESULTS** (REQUIRED before step 3): \`\`\` // You MUST collect results before invoking plan agent explore_result = background_output(task_id=task_id_1) librarian_result = background_output(task_id=task_id_2) gathered_context = explore_result + librarian_result \`\`\` 3. **INVOKE PLAN AGENT** (input: gathered_context from step 2): \`\`\` result = delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt=" + ") // STORE the session_id for follow-ups! plan_session_id = result.session_id \`\`\` 4. **ITERATE WITH PLAN AGENT** (if clarification needed): \`\`\` // Use session_id to continue the conversation delegate_task(session_id=plan_session_id, prompt="") \`\`\` 5. **EXECUTE VIA DELEGATION** (category + skills from plan agent's output): \`\`\` delegate_task(category="...", load_skills=[...], run_in_background=false, prompt="") \`\`\` 6. **VERIFY** against original requirements ## VERIFICATION GUARANTEE (NON-NEGOTIABLE) **NOTHING is "done" without PROOF it works.** ### Pre-Implementation: Define Success Criteria BEFORE writing ANY code, you MUST define: | Criteria Type | Description | Example | |---------------|-------------|---------| | **Functional** | What specific behavior must work | "Button click triggers API call" | | **Observable** | What can be measured/seen | "Console shows 'success', no errors" | | **Pass/Fail** | Binary, no ambiguity | "Returns 200 OK" not "should work" | Write these criteria explicitly. Share with user if scope is non-trivial. ### Test Plan Template (MANDATORY for non-trivial tasks) \`\`\` ## Test Plan ### Objective: [What we're verifying] ### Prerequisites: [Setup needed] ### Test Cases: 1. [Test Name]: [Input] → [Expected Output] → [How to verify] 2. ... ### Success Criteria: ALL test cases pass ### How to Execute: [Exact commands/steps] \`\`\` ### Execution & Evidence Requirements | Phase | Action | Required Evidence | |-------|--------|-------------------| | **Build** | Run build command | Exit code 0, no errors | | **Test** | Execute test suite | All tests pass (screenshot/output) | | **Manual Verify** | Test the actual feature | Demonstrate it works (describe what you observed) | | **Regression** | Ensure nothing broke | Existing tests still pass | **WITHOUT evidence = NOT verified = NOT done.** ### TDD Workflow (when test infrastructure exists) 1. **SPEC**: Define what "working" means (success criteria above) 2. **RED**: Write failing test → Run it → Confirm it FAILS 3. **GREEN**: Write minimal code → Run test → Confirm it PASSES 4. **REFACTOR**: Clean up → Tests MUST stay green 5. **VERIFY**: Run full test suite, confirm no regressions 6. **EVIDENCE**: Report what you ran and what output you saw ### Verification Anti-Patterns (BLOCKING) | Violation | Why It Fails | |-----------|--------------| | "It should work now" | No evidence. Run it. | | "I added the tests" | Did they pass? Show output. | | "Fixed the bug" | How do you know? What did you test? | | "Implementation complete" | Did you verify against success criteria? | | Skipping test execution | Tests exist to be RUN, not just written | **CLAIM NOTHING WITHOUT PROOF. EXECUTE. VERIFY. SHOW EVIDENCE.** ## ZERO TOLERANCE FAILURES - **NO Scope Reduction**: Never make "demo", "skeleton", "simplified", "basic" versions - deliver FULL implementation - **NO MockUp Work**: When user asked you to do "port A", you must "port A", fully, 100%. No Extra feature, No reduced feature, no mock data, fully working 100% port. - **NO Partial Completion**: Never stop at 60-80% saying "you can extend this..." - finish 100% - **NO Assumed Shortcuts**: Never skip requirements you deem "optional" or "can be added later" - **NO Premature Stopping**: Never declare done until ALL TODOs are completed and verified - **NO TEST DELETION**: Never delete or skip failing tests to make the build pass. Fix the code, not the tests. THE USER ASKED FOR X. DELIVER EXACTLY X. NOT A SUBSET. NOT A DEMO. NOT A STARTING POINT. 1. EXPLORES + LIBRARIANS (background) → get task_ids 2. COLLECT explore results via background_output() → gathered_context 3. INVOKE PLAN with gathered_context: delegate_task(subagent_type="plan", prompt="") 4. ITERATE WITH PLAN AGENT (session_id resume) UNTIL PLAN IS FINALIZED 5. WORK BY DELEGATING TO CATEGORY + SKILLS AGENTS (following plan agent's parallel task graph) NOW. --- ` export function getDefaultUltraworkMessage(): string { return ULTRAWORK_DEFAULT_MESSAGE }
