Be specific—name files, functions, or concepts rather than speaking abstractly.
Before asking about persistence, check the current project's MEMORY.md:
If issues are found, include them in the question to the user -- e.g., "MEMORY.md has 3 stale items. Want to prune them while persisting new insights?"
After generating the retro, ask the user if any insights are worth persisting to auto memory. Use AskUserQuestion with options like "Yes, update MEMORY.md", "Yes, and prune stale items", and "No, just this session".
If yes, read the current MEMORY.md from the project's auto memory directory and intelligently merge the new insights—don't duplicate existing points, add new ones under the appropriate sections.

Judgment linter for vibe-coded output — reads the energy of the code, not just correctness. Use when the user says "vibe check", "check this vibe code", "does this hold up", "sanity check this AI code", or after a fast generation session before committing.

Design test strategy using Beck's Test Desiderata — which properties matter, which tradeoffs to make. Use when the user asks "how should I test this", "what tests do I need", "review my test strategy", "is this well-tested", or when planning tests for a new feature or refactor.
