[IMPORTANT] Use

TaskCreate

to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.

AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task:

• Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal.
• Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing.
• Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain.
• Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path.
• When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site.
• Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code.
• Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks.
• Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis.
• Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly.
• Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.

Quick Summary

Goal: Create new custom agents, audit existing agent quality, or enhance agent definitions.

Workflow: Detect mode (Create/Audit/Enhance) from

$ARGUMENTS

Key Rules:

• Agent files:

  .claude/agents/{name}.md

  with YAML frontmatter + markdown body as system prompt
• Agent does NOT inherit Claude Code system prompt — write complete instructions
• Minimize tools to only what the agent needs
• System prompt structure:

  ## Role

  →

  ## Workflow

  →

  ## Key Rules

  →

  ## Output

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

Modes

$ARGUMENTS

Mode 1: Create Agent

1. Clarify —

   AskUserQuestion

   : purpose, read-only vs read-write, model preference, memory needs
2. Check Existing — Glob

   .claude/agents/*.md

   for similar agents. Avoid duplication.
3. Scaffold — Create

   .claude/agents/{name}.md

   using frontmatter template below
4. Write System Prompt — Structure:

   ## Role

   →

   ## Workflow

   →

   ## Key Rules

   →

   ## Output

5. Validate — Run audit checklist below

Mode 2: Audit Agents

1. Discover — Glob

   .claude/agents/*.md

2. Parse — Read first 30 lines of each, extract frontmatter
3. Validate — Check each audit rule below
4. Report — Issues grouped by severity (Error > Warning > Info), include quality scores
5. Fix — If user confirms, fix Error-level issues automatically

Mode 3: Enhance Agent

1. Read — Load specified agent file
2. Analyze — Check against best practices and audit checklist
3. Recommend — List improvements with rationale
4. Apply — If user confirms, apply enhancements

Agent Frontmatter Schema

# REQUIRED
name: my-agent # Lowercase + hyphens only
description: >- # Claude uses this to decide when to delegate
    Use this agent when [specific trigger scenarios].

# OPTIONAL — Tools
tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash # Allowlist (omit both → inherits all)
disallowedTools: Write, Edit # Denylist (removes from inherited set)
# Task(agent1, agent2) restricts spawnable subagents

# OPTIONAL — Model
model: inherit # inherit | sonnet | opus | haiku

# OPTIONAL — Permissions
permissionMode: default # default | acceptEdits | dontAsk | bypassPermissions | plan

# OPTIONAL — Skills (content injected at startup)
skills:
    - skill-name

# OPTIONAL — MCP Servers
mcpServers:
    - server-name

# OPTIONAL — Hooks (scoped to this agent)
hooks:
    PreToolUse:
        - matcher: 'Bash'
          hooks:
              - type: command
                command: './scripts/validate.sh'

# OPTIONAL — Memory (MEMORY.md auto-injected, Read/Write/Edit auto-added)
memory: project # user (~/.claude/agent-memory/) | project (.claude/agent-memory/) | local (gitignored)

# OPTIONAL — Execution
background: false # true = always background task
isolation: worktree # Run in temporary git worktree

Description Best Practices

# BAD — too vague, Claude won't auto-delegate
description: Reviews code

# GOOD — specific trigger conditions
description: >-
  Use this agent for comprehensive code review after implementing features,
  before merging PRs, or when assessing code quality and technical debt.

• Include "Use this agent when..." phrasing with concrete scenarios
• Add "use proactively" to encourage auto-invocation

Common Anti-Patterns

tools

skills

Task

--agents

Context Passing

• Agent receives ONLY its system prompt + task prompt — NOT parent conversation
• Parent receives ONLY agent's final result — NOT intermediate tool calls
• This isolation is the primary context management benefit

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST ATTENTION FOLLOW)

• Always break work into small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task

Closing Reminders

• MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using

  TaskCreate

  BEFORE starting
• MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
• MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite

  file:line

  evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
• MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality <!-- SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset:reminder -->
• MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact. <!-- /SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset:reminder --> <!-- SYNC:ai-mistake-prevention:reminder -->
