Develop Skill
Core Principles
- Clean Code: Follow readable, maintainable patterns.
- Fail Early: Never catch unexpected exceptions silently; let them bubble up.
- Simplicity: Prefer the simplest working solution.
Planning
For non-trivial changes:
- Present a plan with at least 3 clarifying questions (and proposed answers).
- Wait for explicit approval before implementation.
- For complex strategy, use the
planskill.
Implementation & Git
Git Safety
- Permission First: Always ask before initializing repos or switching branches.
- Atomic Commits: Group related changes logically.
Code Quality
- Focus on WHY: Document intent, not mechanics.
- Edge Cases: Consider and test error scenarios.
- Existing Style: Match existing patterns and formatting.
Language-Specific References
When working with specific languages, consult the following references:
- Python: Refer to
references/python.md.
File Operations
- Prefer
edit_file: Use for targeted changes; avoid rewriting full files. - Verification: Always verify changes after editing.
- Tools: Use
fdandrgfor exploration; standard shell tools for navigation.
