Before making any changes for $ARGUMENTS, follow this process:

1. Find Similar Examples

  • Search for existing code that does something similar
  • Read at least 2 examples of the same pattern in this codebase
  • Note: naming conventions, file locations, import styles, error handling

2. Check Conventions

  • Read CLAUDE.md and any relevant .claude/rules/ files
  • Look for linting config (.eslintrc, .prettierrc, ruff.toml, etc.)
  • Check if there's a template or generator for this type of change

3. Plan the Change

  • List all files that need to be created or modified
  • Identify the order of changes (dependencies first)
  • Note any tests that need to be added or updated

4. Implement

  • Follow the exact patterns found in step 1
  • Match naming, structure, and style exactly
  • Add tests following the existing test patterns

5. Verify

  • Run the relevant test command
  • Check that no existing tests broke
  • Verify the change integrates with existing code

Pre-Delivery Checklist

Before presenting the result, verify:

  • At least 2 similar examples were read from the codebase
  • Naming matches existing conventions (casing, prefixes, suffixes)
  • File location follows existing project structure
  • Import style matches the codebase (relative vs absolute, named vs default)
  • Error handling follows existing patterns (not invented new ones)
  • Tests added following existing test patterns
  • No unrelated changes or "while I'm here" improvements
  • Linter/formatter would pass on the new code
