| Thought | Reality | |---------|---------| | "This is just a simple question" | Questions are tasks. Check for skills. | | "I need more context first" | Skill check comes BEFORE clarifying questions. | | "Let me explore the codebase first" | Skills tell you HOW to explore.

"Fix this bug" → debugging first, then domain-specific skills. ## Skill Types **Rigid** (TDD, debugging): Follow exactly. Don't adapt away discipline. **Flexible** (patterns): Adapt principles to c
