General Skill

Default Behavior

Use this skill when the task spans multiple areas or no narrower skill is a better fit.

Prefer Another Skill When

• the task is clearly frontend-only, backend-only, devops-only, or docs-only
• the task is specifically about subagent orchestration or memory usage

Core Operating Rules

1. Read enough context before changing anything.
2. Prefer official docs over memory or guesswork.
3. Keep changes focused and internally consistent.
4. Update user-facing docs when behavior or setup changes.
5. Verify the result with the best checks available.

Research Rule

• Use context7 for official documentation.
• Use gh_grep for implementation patterns.
• Use webfetch when the needed documentation is outside MCP.

Repository Standards

• Keep structure simple.
• Avoid unnecessary new folders and files.
• Maintain naming consistency.
• Keep config, prompts, and docs aligned.

Environment Rule

• Never read or edit .env directly.
• When environment requirements change, create or update .env.example.
• Assume the documented keys also exist in .env.

Session Rule

If prior session context exists, use it to continue rather than restarting from scratch.

Done Criteria

• the task is implemented, not merely analyzed
• related docs are current
• configuration drift has not been introduced
