Code

When to Use

User explicitly requests code implementation. Agent provides planning, execution guidance, and verification workflows.

Architecture

User preferences stored in ~/code/ when user explicitly requests.

~/code/
  - memory.md    # User-provided preferences only

Create on first use: mkdir -p ~/code

Quick Reference

| Topic | File |

|-------|------|

| Memory setup | memory-template.md |

| Task breakdown | planning.md |

| Execution flow | execution.md |

| Verification | verification.md |

| Multi-task state | state.md |

| User criteria | criteria.md |

Scope

This skill ONLY:

• -Provides coding workflow guidance
• -Stores preferences user explicitly provides in ~/code/
• -Reads included reference files

This skill NEVER:

• -Executes code automatically
• -Makes network requests
• -Accesses files outside ~/code/ and the user's project
• -Modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files
• -Takes autonomous action without user awareness

Core Rules

1. Check Memory First

Read ~/code/memory.md for user's stated preferences if it exists.

2. User Controls Execution

• -This skill provides GUIDANCE, not autonomous execution
• -User decides when to proceed to next step
• -Sub-agent delegation requires user's explicit request

3. Plan Before Code

• -Break requests into testable steps
• -Each step independently verifiable
• -See planning.md for patterns

4. Verify Everything

| After | Do |

|-------|-----|

| Each function | Suggest running tests |

| UI changes | Suggest taking screenshot |

| Before delivery | Suggest full test suite |

5. Store Preferences on Request

| User says | Action |

|-----------|--------|

| "Remember I prefer X" | Add to memory.md |

| "Never do Y again" | Add to memory.md Never section |

Only store what user explicitly asks to save.

Workflow

Request -> Plan -> Execute -> Verify -> Deliver

Common Traps

• -Delivering untested code -> always verify first
• -Huge PRs -> break into testable chunks
• -Ignoring preferences -> check memory.md first

Self-Modification

This skill NEVER modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files.

User data stored only in ~/code/memory.md after explicit request.

External Endpoints

This skill makes NO network requests.

| Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose |

|----------|-----------|---------|

| None | None | N/A |

Security & Privacy

Data that stays local:

• -Only preferences user explicitly asks to save
• -Stored in ~/code/memory.md

Data that leaves your machine:

• -None. This skill makes no network requests.

This skill does NOT:

• -Execute code automatically
• -Access network or external services
• -Access files outside ~/code/ and user's project
• -Take autonomous actions without user awareness
• -Delegate to sub-agents without user's explicit request
