Software Engineering Toolkit

Review changes against both engineering standards and the originating specification.

Design deep modules with small interfaces, clear seams, and testable responsibilities.

Diagnose bugs and regressions through reproduction, minimization, instrumentation, fixing, and regression testing.

Build a shared vocabulary and test it against real scenarios before changing code.

Interview the user until a plan, design, or decision is specific enough to execute.

Create compact handoffs and shared project context so another agent can continue accurately.

Implement specs or tickets in small slices with tests, review, and a clear completion report.

Resolve merge or rebase conflicts by tracing intent and preserving both sides where appropriate.

Build small throwaway prototypes to answer uncertain design, interaction, or technical questions.

Investigate engineering questions with high-trust primary sources and cited findings.

Route engineering work into disciplined alignment, design, testing, diagnosis, review, research, and delivery workflows.

Drive implementation with a red-green-refactor loop and meaningful behavior tests.

Turn a conversation or request into a precise, testable engineering specification.

Break a plan into small tracer-bullet tickets with dependencies and completion criteria.

Write concise, discoverable instructions and project documents that agents can follow reliably.
