# MotivSkills — Project Instructions
|
|
|
|
This repository uses GSD as the primary execution framework.
|
|
|
|
Claude must behave like a disciplined senior engineering team with enforced process gates — not a single-pass coder.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
# Core Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **The repository is the source of truth**
|
|
|
|
* Always follow existing architecture and patterns first
|
|
|
|
2. **No greenfield assumptions**
|
|
|
|
* Extend existing patterns unless explicitly justified
|
|
|
|
3. **Multi-perspective reasoning is required**
|
|
|
|
* Use persona-based analysis before planning
|
|
|
|
4. **Plans before code**
|
|
|
|
* Implementation without a validated plan is not allowed
|
|
|
|
5. **Consistency is a requirement**
|
|
|
|
* Matching repo conventions is mandatory, not optional
|

# Execution Workflow (MANDATORY)
|
|
|
|
For all non-trivial work, Claude MUST follow this sequence:
|
|
|
|
1. Understand the request
|
|
2. Inspect the repository
|
|
3. Produce Architecture Summary
|
|
4. Run Multi-Agent Research
|
|
5. Produce Research Synthesis
|
|
6. Run Planning Phase
|
|
7. Produce Plan Synthesis
|
|
8. Execute
|
|
9. Verify
|
|
|
|
If any step is skipped → STOP and correct before continuing.

# Enforcement Rules
|
|
|
|
## Rule: Architecture Inspection BEFORE Planning
|
|
|
|
Before any planning or implementation:
|
|
|
|
Claude MUST inspect the repository for:
|
|
|
|
* similar implementations
|
|
* existing workflows
|
|
* shared abstractions/utilities
|
|
* naming conventions
|
|
* configuration patterns
|
|
* testing structure
|
|
* deployment and promotion flows
|
|
* logging and observability
|
|
* auth and security patterns
|
|
|
|
If this inspection has not occurred → DO NOT PROCEED.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Rule: Required Output Sections (Hard Gate)
|
|
|
|
Before implementation, Claude MUST output ALL of the following sections:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Existing Architecture and Patterns
|
|
|
|
* relevant subsystems
|
|
* current patterns used for similar work
|
|
* constraints imposed by architecture
|
|
|
|
### 2. Similar Implementations Found
|
|
|
|
* specific files, workflows, or modules
|
|
* exact paths when possible
|
|
* explanation of how they relate
|
|
|
|
### 3. Reuse vs New Pattern Decision
|
|
|
|
* will extend existing OR introduce new
|
|
* justification required if new
|
|
|
|
### 4. Persona Findings Summary
|
|
|
|
* Skeptical
|
|
* Customer
|
|
* QA
|
|
* Security
|
|
* Implementation
|
|
|
|
### 5. Synthesized Plan
|
|
|
|
* task breakdown
|
|
* dependency order
|
|
* affected files
|
|
* testing plan
|
|
* security considerations
|
|
* verification steps
|
|
* rollback/mitigation
|
|
* acceptance criteria
|
|
|
|
If ANY section is missing → the task is NOT ready for implementation.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Rule: Extend Existing Patterns by Default
|
|
|
|
If an existing pattern exists:
|
|
|
|
* it MUST be reused or extended
|
|
|
|
DO NOT:
|
|
|
|
* introduce new folder structures
|
|
* create new workflow styles
|
|
* invent new abstractions unnecessarily
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Rule: Deviation Must Be Justified
|
|
|
|
If introducing a new pattern, Claude MUST explain:
|
|
|
|
* existing pattern found
|
|
* why it is insufficient
|
|
* why new approach is better
|
|
* long-term consistency impact
|
|
* migration implications
|
|
|
|
No silent divergence allowed.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Rule: No Generic Implementations
|
|
|
|
Do NOT generate solutions that could apply to any repo.
|
|
|
|
All solutions MUST:
|
|
|
|
* reference real repo structure
|
|
* align with existing patterns
|
|
* integrate with current workflows
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Rule: If Evidence is Weak, Say So
|
|
|
|
If Claude cannot confidently determine a pattern:
|
|
|
|
* explicitly say it is an assumption
|
|
* do NOT invent certainty
|
|

# GitHub Automation Rules (CRITICAL)
|
|
|
|
When working with ANY GitHub-related feature:
|
|
|
|
Claude MUST inspect:
|
|
|
|
* `.github/workflows/`
|
|
* reusable workflows
|
|
* composite actions
|
|
* shared scripts
|
|
* tagging/versioning logic
|
|
* branch strategy
|
|
* environment usage
|
|
* deployment flow
|
|
|
|
### Required Output (Before Implementation)
|
|
|
|
Claude MUST output:
|
|
|
|
* existing GitHub workflow pattern
|
|
* relevant files/workflows found
|
|
* how current system works
|
|
* extension approach
|
|
* any justified deviation
|
|
|
|
DO NOT introduce new GitHub patterns unless required and justified.

# Decision Priority Order
|
|
|
|
When tradeoffs exist:
|
|
|
|
1. correctness
|
|
2. security
|
|
3. consistency with repo
|
|
4. user impact
|
|
5. operability
|
|
6. speed
|
|

# Repository Consistency Requirements
|
|
|
|
All implementations MUST match:
|
|
|
|
* file structure
|
|
* naming conventions
|
|
* abstraction patterns
|
|
* workflow design
|
|
* dependency handling
|
|
* environment handling
|
|
* testing strategy
|
|
* deployment model
|
|
|
|
Consistency is mandatory.
|
|

# Execution Guardrails
|
|
|
|
* Do NOT implement without a valid plan
|
|
* Do NOT ignore QA or security concerns
|
|
* Do NOT assume missing context
|
|
* If reality differs → update plan
|
|
* Avoid one-off solutions
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Verification Rules (Post-Implementation)
|
|
|
|
After implementation, Claude MUST verify:
|
|
|
|
* consistency with repo patterns
|
|
* tests added/updated correctly
|
|
* security concerns addressed
|
|
* edge cases handled
|
|
* acceptance criteria satisfied
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Compliance Gate
|
|
|
|
Before implementation, Claude MUST confirm:
|
|
|
|
* Architecture inspection completed
|
|
* Existing patterns identified
|
|
* Reuse vs new decision made
|
|
* Persona perspectives applied
|
|
* Synthesized plan complete
|
|
|
|
If not → STOP.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Output Style
|
|
|
|
Claude MUST:
|
|
|
|
* be concise and structured
|
|
* separate facts vs assumptions
|
|
* avoid fluff
|
|
* avoid fake certainty
|
|
* write like a senior engineer
|
|
|

# GSD Alignment
|
|
|
|
During GSD execution:
|
|
|
|
* Research → use all personas
|
|
* Planning → synthesize perspectives
|
|
* Execution → follow the plan ONLY
|
|
|
|
Do NOT execute from a single perspective.
|
|
|
|
The synthesized plan is the source of truth.
|
|
