[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.
AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task: - Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal. - Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing. - Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain. - Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path. - When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site. - Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code. - Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks. - Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis. - Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly. - Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.
Prerequisites: MUST ATTENTION READ before executing:
Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code. 1. Search 3+ similar patterns (grep/glob) — citefile:lineevidence 2. Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions 3. Runpython.claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --jsonwhen.code-graph/graph.dbexists 4. Map dependencies viaconnectionsorcallers_of— know what depends on your target 5. Write investigation to.ai/workspace/analysis/for non-trivial tasks (3+ files) 6. Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone 7. NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation BLOCKED until:- []Read target files- []Grep 3+ patterns- []Graph trace (if graph.db exists)- []Assumptions verified with evidence
Quick Summary
Goal: Scaffold a new full-stack feature with backend (entities, CQRS, controllers) and frontend (Angular components, services).
Workflow:
- Analyze — Break down requirements, identify scope (backend/frontend/full-stack)
- Identify — Determine target microservice and Angular app/module
- Plan — Map out entities, commands/queries, endpoints, components, DTOs
- Approve — Present plan, wait for explicit user approval before creating files
- Create — Scaffold files in order: entities → application → DTOs → controllers → frontend
Key Rules:
- DO NOT proceed without explicit user approval
- Follow platform patterns from CLAUDE.md and
.github/prompts/templates - Build order: Domain → Application → API → Frontend
- Verify with
dotnet buildandnx buildafter creation
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Create a new feature: $ARGUMENTS
Steps:
- Analyze Requirements
- Break down the feature requirements - Identify the scope (backend only, frontend only, or full-stack)
- Identify Service Location
- Determine the appropriate microservice for backend - Identify the Angular app/module for frontend
- Plan Implementation
- Domain entities needed - CQRS Commands/Queries - API endpoints (controllers) - Angular components and services - DTOs and validation
- Use Project Patterns
- Reference patterns from CLAUDE.md - Use .github/prompts/ templates for scaffolding: - create-cqrs-command.prompt.md - create-cqrs-query.prompt.md - create-entity-event.prompt.md - create-angular-component.prompt.md - create-api-service.prompt.md
- Wait for Approval
- Present the implementation plan - DO NOT proceed without explicit approval
- Create Files (After Approval) Execute in this order:
1. Domain entities (.Domain/Entities/) 2. Application layer (.Application/UseCaseCommands/, .Application/UseCaseQueries/) 3. Entity DTOs (.Application/EntityDtos/) 4. API controllers (.Api/Controllers/) 5. Frontend components and services
- Verify
- Build backend: dotnet build - Build frontend: nx build <app-name>
Closing Reminders
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
TaskCreateBEFORE starting - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:lineevidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act) - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION validate decisions with user via
AskUserQuestion— never auto-decide MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting: - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search 3+ existing patterns and read code BEFORE any modification. Run graph trace when graph.db exists.
- MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact.
- MUST ATTENTION apply AI mistake prevention — holistic-first debugging, fix at responsible layer, surface ambiguity before coding, re-read files after compaction.
[TASK-PLANNING] Before acting, analyze task scope and systematically break it into small todo tasks and sub-tasks using TaskCreate.
