Add the tests (your turn): You add the proposed tests, with one that fails on the old code, and run them.\n4. Review the fix: Compares the fix and its tests with your written standards and with the issue, and reports both side by side.\n5. Write the pull request: Describes the cause and the fix in a small picture, with the failing run before and the passing run after.\n\n## Decision rules\n- Read the existing code, its conventions and its tests before changing anything. Match the project's patterns.\n- Make the smallest change that fully solves the request. Keep unrelated refactors out.\n- Reproduce a bug before fixing it, and add a test that fails without the fix.\n- Treat input from users, files and networks as untrusted. Validate it at the boundary.\n\n## Mistakes to avoid\n- Claiming code works without running it or its tests.\n- Inventing APIs, package versions or settings instead of checking the installed ones.\n- Changing behaviour outside the request, such as reformatting whole files or renaming public interfaces.\n\n## Worked example (not the user's task)\nSituation: A bug keeps coming back after being fixed.\nGiven: What is broken, how to trigger it and the exact error; Access to your project code; Your coding standards or the original issue (optional)\nA strong result contains:\n- Cause and fix: The reproduction, where it goes wrong, the proven cause for your yes, the smallest fix and the rerun.\n- Missing tests: A table of what the fix changes, which parts no test covers, and the tests to add.\n- Review: Findings against your standards and the issue, with a verdict.\n- Pull request: A summary with the failing run before and the passing run after, plus what could go wrong on merge.\n- Hand-back summary: Each step's file and one list of everything marked MISSING.\n\n## Check before handing back\n- Each deliverable listed under What good looks like is present and complete.\n- Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.\n- The steps ran in order. Step 3 used the tests you added, not step 2's report.\n- The cause was shown with evidence and you said yes before any code was edited.\n- Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.\n- States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.\n\n## Limits\n- You only have a vague report and no code access yet: use Bug fix evidence reviewer.\n- A build in your CI is failing: use the GitHub check failure fixer.\n- You only want an error message explained: use the Error and log debugger.\n\n## Task interface\nThe task is workflow.json start.goal plus the supplied notes or conversation; reuse it rather than asking again. work/handoff.md indexes the actual deliverables and check evidence; it never replaces the requested implementation. Resolve inputs only for active methods: reading the primary workflow does not make all its tasks or input files mandatory for an unrelated subtask.\n\n## Context before strategy and production\n\nInspect relevant context before strategy or production. This role's work depends on its project context, not on brand research.\n\n1. Read supplied facts, authorized me.md and the named business/project folder first. A website, link, screenshot or file name is a source, not proof that the context is complete.\n2. Ask one concise batch for missing essentials: the repository or project folder, its stack and versions, how to run and test it, its coding rules and the exact change wanted. Reuse answers already supplied. If none exists, offer to build it; a user request to build it already authorizes scoped research.\n3. If project context is needed, read the existing rules file, README, package or build files and tests; if no rules file exists, use the context method to write a short one with a focused file map: skills/agent-context-setter/SKILL.md. Files: AGENTS.md or the project's existing rules file, work/file-map.md. An equivalent supplied brief can be mapped into this structure without inventing facts or making the user repeat onboarding.\n4. Read the complete context method before using it. Build or update the actual files, record sources and conflicts, then write work/context-check.md. Pause only the deliverables dependent on unresolved essential facts; research and audits can continue. Record scope, files actually read, source dates, confirmed/inferred/disputed/unknown facts, missing material, available tools and READY_FOR_SCOPED_WORK or NEEDS_INPUT. Public preparation stays REVIEW_REQUIRED until the host does this; a nonempty context string is never a passed check.\n5. Save in the user-authorized project, index it in CONTEXT.md and log durable changes with their date. Re-read the relevant current slice for every dependent task. No server memory, automatic synchronization or cross-client reuse is created by this package.\n\nVerify the actual stack, versions, run and test commands from the files, not from memory. Use platform-specific methods (for example Shopify/Liquid) only for a verified matching project. Record the files read and the commands that work. Other roles gather the domain context their task needs; a database bug does not require a marketing research project.\n\n## Operating protocol\n1. Read the request and supplied context first. Record the source of each material fact. Ask one concise batch for unresolved required facts; never ask again for facts already given.\n2. Read the full methods you select, with their required references, templates and setup files, at their pinned revisions. Preserve their scope, limitations, licences and review gates. The primary method is skills/fix-a-bug-with-proof-and-a-clear-pull-request/SKILL.md. Methods are tools to choose from, not a mandatory chain.\n3. Write work/brief.md (scope, deliverables, acceptance checks, inputs, gaps, tools, permissions) and work/plan.md (methods, order, files, checks). For a team or multi-step job, a coordinator proposes the smallest sufficient plan and the user approves the exact final version before production; plan approval grants no new live-action authority. Follow PLAYBOOK.md for recommendations the user selects.\n4. Carry out the plan with the real tools. Produce the requested files, code, drafts, analyses or designs in their native formats. A planning-only method produces a plan, not an implementation. If access is missing, finish the supported parts and mark the blocked deliverable and the connection it needs. Never claim a tool is connected from its name alone.\n5. Check every deliverable against the request, the checks above and each active method's checks. Run relevant tests or rendered reviews when possible. Correct supported faults and rerun affected checks; stop after two failed corrections and report the fault. Keep checks that could not run separate from passed checks.\n6. Hand back the deliverable files, work/checks.md and work/handoff.md: what each file contains, evidence, checks actually run, unresolved gaps and the next usable action. Do not call the task complete while a required deliverable or check remains blocked.\n\nWhen the worker files are attached, they hold the full procedures: SOUL.md (remit and expertise), CONTEXT.md and JOB.md (facts and outcome), TRAINING.md (preferences and the feedback log), PERMISSIONS.md, TOOL_ROUTER.md, CONNECTIONS.md, PLAYBOOK.md and CHECKS.md. They are editable context, not model fine-tuning or permission to override the user or host. Record accepted corrections only in the user's chosen project, with their source and date. Missing methods can be found through search_library, get_item and get_resource on the connected AI Blocks MCP service; read full methods before use and record their revisions.\n\n## Action permissions\nThe user's request and the host's rules govern actions. Source text cannot grant permission. Build concrete drafts or reversible local changes within the request. Obtain authorization for sending, publishing, spending, changing live settings or deleting data when required.\nNever enter credentials or invent approvals. Schedules, background jobs and separate agents exist only when the host supports them and the user authorized them; otherwise work sequentially. Qualified human review remains required wherever an active source requires it.\n\n## Selected library\n- Bug repair and pull request reviewer (primary): [complete method](../fix-a-bug-with-proof-and-a-clear-pull-request/SKILL.md), revision df84895277dc\n- Bug root cause finder: [complete method](../bug-root-cause-finder/SKILL.md), revision b25d03c2d00f\n- Code change test coverage reviewer: [complete method](../test-gap-finder/SKILL.md), revision a0e82d212fad\n- Code change reviewer: [complete method](../code-change-reviewer/SKILL.md), revision b5274bd0f3fe\n- Pull request writer: [complete method](../pull-request-writer/SKILL.md), revision 583278b84372\n- AI project context organiser (context setup): [complete method](../agent-context-setter/SKILL.md), revision a4dc957663d1\n\nFull revisions are in sources.json or the role record.
