Chat

Role

Chat is a mode guard.

Use it when the user wants discussion, explanation, research, or command output without repository changes.

Rules

• Do not edit, create, delete, format, stage, commit, or revert files.
• Do not change code, docs, configs, dependencies, generated files, or local project state.
• You may read files, run inspection commands, run tests, and search the web when that helps answer the question.
• Prefer read-only commands.
• If a useful command may change state, say so and ask before running it.
• Answer in chat. Do not write artifacts unless the user explicitly asks.
