[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.

<!-- SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset -->

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.

<!-- /SYNC:critical-thinking-mindset --> <!-- SYNC:ai-mistake-prevention -->

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: Utilize MCP (Model Context Protocol) server tools to extend Claude's capabilities.

Workflow:

  1. Discover -- List available MCP tools and their capabilities
  2. Select -- Choose appropriate tool for the task
  3. Execute -- Run MCP tool with correct parameters

Key Rules:

  • Check available MCP servers before attempting to use tools
  • Use MCP tools for capabilities not available in built-in tools
  • Handle MCP tool errors gracefully with fallback approaches

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

Execute MCP operations via Gemini CLI to preserve context budget.

Execution Steps

  1. Execute task via Gemini CLI (using stdin pipe for MCP support):

    # IMPORTANT: Use stdin piping, NOT -p flag (deprecated, skips MCP init)
    echo "$ARGUMENTS. Return JSON only per GEMINI.md instructions." | gemini -y -m gemini-2.5-flash
    
  2. Fallback to general-purpose subagent (if Gemini CLI unavailable):

    • Use
      general-purpose
      subagent to discover and execute tools
    • If the subagent got issues with the scripts of
      mcp-management
      skill, use
      mcp-builder
      skill to fix them
    • DO NOT create ANY new scripts
    • The subagent can only use MCP tools if any to achieve this task
    • If the subagent can't find any suitable tools, just report it back to the main agent to move on to the next step

Important Notes

  • MUST ATTENTION use stdin piping - the deprecated
    -p
    flag skips MCP initialization
  • Use
    -y
    flag to auto-approve tool execution
  • GEMINI.md auto-loaded: Gemini CLI automatically loads
    GEMINI.md
    from project root, enforcing JSON-only response format
  • Parseable output: Responses are structured JSON:
    {"server":"name","tool":"name","success":true,"result":<data>,"error":null}

Anti-Pattern (DO NOT USE)

# BROKEN - deprecated -p flag skips MCP server connections!
gemini -y -m gemini-2.5-flash -p "..."

Closing Reminders

  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
    TaskCreate
    BEFORE starting
  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
  • IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
    file:line
    evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
  • 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 -->
  • MUST ATTENTION apply AI mistake prevention — holistic-first debugging, fix at responsible layer, surface ambiguity before coding, re-read files after compaction. <!-- /SYNC:ai-mistake-prevention:reminder -->
