Tighten Instruction
Steps
-
State the goal in one sentence: what should the reader do after reading it?
-
Name each line or heading's purpose.
- Cut if: the purpose is "restate the goal," "hedge," or "explain why."
- Rename if: a heading misnames its content.
-
Collapse clauses the positive form already implies.
Before: "Run tests after edits. Don't skip even for small changes — small changes break things too." After: "Run tests after every edit."
-
Land on one declarative line.
- Shape: trigger + action — "Use X for Y." or "When X, do Y."
- If you can't: split — it's two instructions.
-
Test it cold. Read the final line without surrounding context. If you can't act on it, retighten.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Anchored second-opinion on one concrete proposal: dispatch a subagent to rate the fix, generate ranked alternatives, and flag blind spots, then synthesize back. TRIGGER when: user says 'second opinion', 'rate my fix', 'weigh in on my approach', 'what alternatives am I missing', or wants their candidate edit/decision evaluated against alternatives. SKIP when: multiple decisions on a larger artifact — use `panel-review`.

Multi-reviewer panel on N focused questions about a near-final artifact (plan, design, code, prose). R0 (you) plus two parallel reviewer subagents, per-question table with disagreement preserved, walk decisions one at a time. TRIGGER when: user says 'panel review', 'multi-agent review'; user has a mostly-done artifact and focused micro-decisions to validate. SKIP when: only one proposal under review — use `second-opinion`.

testing

Explain how a feature, flow, or concept works by grounding in source-of-truth and walking top-down with diagrams. TRIGGER when: user says explain/walk me through/ELI5/help me understand; user wants to understand how a feature, flow, or system works; user wants intuition or first principles. SKIP when: user wants a diagnosis/fix/action; user wants a one-line definition they can already apply; quick spot-check or confirmation.
