Keep the judgement.
Lose the overhead.
Your coding agent has enough to think about.
Give it five focused skills and the context that matters.
THE TOOLKIT
Five skills.
Room to think.
No elaborate ritual. Pick the skill for the job.
Keep the decisions and evidence in your repo.
Say what matters.
Keep the evidence. Lose the filler. Concise communication with exact commands, contracts and uncertainty intact.
Auth expiry off by one. Regression fails at boundary; fix passes. Live behaviour unchecked.
Decide before you build.
Work through unresolved decisions. Keep agreed answers, choose a questioning cadence and make the next step explicit.
One decision first. Should invitations expire? Recommend 7 days. Keeps access bounded; allows a working week to accept.
Give the work a shape.
Turn agreed discussion into a local specification. Capture scope, contracts and acceptance criteria for the next session.
Scope: expiring invitations. Contract: reject after 7 days. Acceptance: boundary covered; existing members unaffected.
Make the next step small.
Split an agreed change into independently verifiable tickets, with explicit blockers and a clear order of work.
01. Add expiry contract + boundary check. 02. Expose expiry in invitation UI. Blocked by 01. Verify each ticket independently.
Fix the cause.
Reproduce the failure, minimise it and test hypotheses. Make the regression prove the fix.
Reproduce at expiry boundary. Compare stored timestamp with validation path. Test hypothesis before changing code.
YOUR REPO. YOUR MEMORY.
The next session
starts here.
Agents forget. Your project shouldn't. Give every session a map to the right context, with decisions stored in local Markdown.
Explore the context layoutLESS MACHINERY. MORE OWNERSHIP.
Project-local.
Readable files in your repository. Edit them, review them, carry them between sessions.
No extra service.
No telemetry, proxy or model calls. Installer runtime has no dependencies.
Evidence stays.
Concise instructions preserve exact contracts and uncertainty. Fewer words alone prove no savings.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE WORK
A small addition.
A more deliberate workflow.
Run from your project's root. Choose your agents and skills.
