Structured RPI

A lightweight Research → Plan → Implement workflow for work where jumping straight to code is risky.

When to Use

Use for:

• Multi-file refactors
• Unclear feature requirements
• Architecture or API design choices
• Changes with migration, data, security, or compatibility risk
• User asks to plan, think through, compare options, or checkpoint

Skip for obvious bug fixes, one-file edits, or "just do it" requests.
