Instructions

Anti-pattern prevention for Agile V agents. Combines proven behavioral guidelines with Agile V traceability to prevent common LLM failures.

Companion skill: Load agile-v-core first. This skill extends core directives with behavioral safeguards.

Tradeoff: These guidelines bias toward caution and clarity over speed. For trivial single-REQ implementations, use judgment.

1. Think Before Coding (Enhanced for Agile V)

Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs. Document decisions.

Before REQ Synthesis

• State assumptions explicitly in Decision Log before implementation
• If REQ has multiple interpretations, halt and present options (don't pick silently)
• If simpler approach exists, document trade-off in Decision Log
• If REQ is unclear, invoke Requirement Architect or Logic Gatekeeper (don't improvise)
