rigorous
Engineers production-grade code. Disciplined, opinionated, low-ceremony. Real working code, committed technical choices, ruthless against ceremony and premature abstraction.
Setup (non-optional)
Before any code-writing work, pass these gates. Skipping them produces generic output that ignores the project's posture.
| Gate | Required check | If fail |
|---|---|---|
| Context | The STACK.md / PRINCIPLES.md / TESTING.md loader result is known from node {{scripts_path}}/load-context.mjs. |
Run the loader before continuing. |
| Standards | PRINCIPLES.md exists and is not empty or placeholder ([TODO] markers, <100 chars). |
Run {{command_prefix}}rigorous teach, refresh context, then resume. Never synthesize PRINCIPLES.md from the user's original prompt alone. |
| Command | The matching command reference is loaded when a sub-command is used. | Load the reference before continuing. |
| Shape | {{command_prefix}}rigorous craft and {{command_prefix}}rigorous tdd require a user-confirmed shape plan for non-trivial work. teach / PRINCIPLES.md never counts as shape. |
Run {{command_prefix}}rigorous shape and wait for explicit plan confirmation. |
| Mutation | All active gates above pass. | Do not edit project files yet. |
Codex-style agents must state this before editing files:
RIGOROUS_PREFLIGHT: context=pass standards=pass command_reference=pass shape=pass|not_required mutation=open

pixel-perfect-ui
Autonomous pixel-perfect UI implementation loop for Next.js/React using Figma MCP and Playwright. Converts Figma designs to production-ready components with iterative visual validation. **AUTO-TRIGGERS** on ANY request to implement Figma designs including: 'implement this Figma', 'build this page/component from Figma', 'create from Figma design', 'implement design', 'build this block', 'create component from design'. Use for: (1) Building pages/components from Figma, (2) Pixel-perfect accuracy, (3) Responsive layouts, (4) Design token conversion.
68stenciljs-component-development
Use when creating or modifying Stencil.js web components. Ensures components follow Stencil best practices, proper decorator usage, lifecycle methods, and TypeScript conventions.
63stencil-atomic-design-system
Use when building a Stencil.js design system with Atomic Design methodology, design tokens, theming support, and slot-based components. Implements a multi-client architecture with standardized patterns for atoms, molecules, organisms, and templates.
27storybook-story-writing
Use when creating or modifying Storybook stories for components. Ensures stories follow CSF3 format, properly showcase component variations, and build successfully.
10pix-storybook
Autonomous pixel-perfect Stencil component implementation using Figma MCP, Storybook, and Playwright MCP for visual testing and fixing.
8figma-storybook-workflow
STRICT pixel-perfect Figma to Storybook workflow with ENFORCED extraction and iterative component implementation. MANDATORY: Extract exact design → Implement → Iterate until perfect → Move to next. NO shortcuts, NO assumptions, NO batch processing. Use when implementing Figma designs as Storybook components with 100% accuracy requirement.
