name: context-modes description: "Structured work modes for agent sessions. Set LACP_CONTEXT_MODE to activate: tdd (red-green-refactor), debugging (4-phase root cause), sprint (pre-agreed criteria), verification (evidence-before-claims), brainstorm (design first), think (pause-and-reflect), orchestrate (task decomposition). Each mode injects behavioral rules at session start."
Context Modes
Set LACP_CONTEXT_MODE environment variable to activate a mode:
| Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|
tdd |
Strict RED-GREEN-REFACTOR — no code without a failing test |
debugging |
4-phase systematic root cause investigation |
sprint |
Pre-agreed completion criteria evaluated at stop |
verification |
Evidence-before-claims discipline |
brainstorm |
Design exploration — no code until design approved |
think |
Pause-and-reflect before every action chain |
orchestrate |
Decompose into subtasks before executing |
implementation |
Focused implementation partner |
review |
Code review mode |
thinking-partner |
Challenge assumptions, surface blind spots |
handoff-resume |
Continue from previous session handoff |
Each mode is a markdown file that gets injected as system context at session start.
