Develop Skill

Core Principles

• Clean Code: Follow readable, maintainable patterns.
• Fail Early: Never catch unexpected exceptions silently; let them bubble up.
• Simplicity: Prefer the simplest working solution.

Planning

For non-trivial changes:

• Present a plan with at least 3 clarifying questions (and proposed answers).
• Wait for explicit approval before implementation.
• For complex strategy, use the

  plan

  skill.

Implementation & Git

Git Safety

• Permission First: Always ask before initializing repos or switching branches.
• Atomic Commits: Group related changes logically.

Code Quality

• Focus on WHY: Document intent, not mechanics.
• Edge Cases: Consider and test error scenarios.
• Existing Style: Match existing patterns and formatting.

Language-Specific References

When working with specific languages, consult the following references:

• Python: Refer to

  references/python.md

  .

File Operations

• Prefer

  edit_file

  : Use for targeted changes; avoid rewriting full files.
• Verification: Always verify changes after editing.
• Tools: Use

  fd

  and

  rg

  for exploration; standard shell tools for navigation.
