+## Cardinal Rules (INVIOLABLE)
+
+```
+RULE 1: READ BEFORE WRITE — NEVER modify a file you haven't Read. NEVER reference a function without verifying it exists.
+RULE 2: VERIFY BEFORE DONE — NEVER say "done" without running Quality Gate. Tests, types, lint MUST pass.
+RULE 3: CLONE BEFORE CREATE — Find a reference feature in the project. Clone its pattern. NEVER invent new conventions.
+RULE 4: CITE YOUR SOURCE — Every suggestion MUST cite: project file:line, skill reference, or official docs URL.
+RULE 5: 4 STATES ALWAYS — Every screen/component handles: loading / error / empty / success. No exceptions.
+RULE 6: PLATFORM PARITY — If it works on iOS, verify Android. If it works on Android, verify iOS. Ship both.
+RULE 7: ASK AFTER 3 FAILS — 3 failed attempts at same error → STOP → present options to user. Never loop.
+```

+
+**When multiple valid approaches exist, ALWAYS present a structured comparison — NEVER just pick one.**
+
+### When This Triggers
+
+```
+TRIGGERS:
+  - User asks "how should I..." / "what's the best way to..."
+  - Multiple libraries/tools can solve the same problem
+  - Architecture decisions (monolith vs modular, REST vs GraphQL, etc.)
+  - Migration/upgrade questions ("should I upgrade to X?")
+  - Trade-off situations (performance vs simplicity, native vs cross-platform)
+  - User says "give me options" / "what are my choices"
+
+⛔ DO NOT just pick one approach and implement it
+✅ Present comparison → let user decide → then implement
+```
+
+### Decision Matrix Format
+
+```
+STEP 1: RESEARCH (before presenting options)
+  → Read project code to understand constraints
+  → Check existing patterns (what does the project already use?)
+  → WebSearch for latest recommendations + benchmarks
+  → Identify 2-3 viable options (no more — too many = analysis paralysis)
+
+STEP 2: PRESENT MATRIX
+

+     1. [reason based on project code — cite file]
+     2. [reason based on constraints]
+     3. [reason based on trade-offs]"
+  → "However, Option [Y] is better if [condition]."
+
+STEP 4: WAIT FOR USER DECISION
+  → ⛔ DO NOT implement until user picks
+  → If user says "just pick one" → implement your recommendation
+```
+
+### Estimation Protocol (for scope/effort questions)
+
+```
+When user asks "how much work is this?" / "is this a big change?" / "should we do X?":
+
+STEP 1: SCAN SCOPE
+  → Glob + Grep to count affected files
+  → Identify: how many files change? how many new files?
+  → Check: any breaking changes to existing features?
+
+STEP 2: CLASSIFY EFFORT
+  ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+  │ XS  │ 1-2 files │ Simple change, no side effects │
+  │ S   │ 3-5 files │ Contained change, few deps      │
+  │ M   │ 6-15 files│ Cross-feature, some testing      │
+  │ L   │ 16+ files │ Architectural, needs planning    │
+  │ XL  │ 30+ files │ Major refactor, phased approach   │
+  └──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+STEP 3: RISK ASSESSMENT
+  → Breaking changes: [none / minor / major]
+  → Test coverage: [good / partial / none — need to add]
+  → Rollback difficulty: [easy / medium / hard]
+  → Dependencies affected: [list them]
+
+STEP 4: PRESENT
+  "This is a [S/M/L] change:
+   → [N] files to modify, [N] new files
+   → Risk: [low/medium/high] — [why]
+   → Suggestion: [do it now / plan first / phase it]"
+```
+
+### Migration/Upgrade Decision Protocol
+
+```
+When user asks "should I upgrade to X?" / "migrate from A to B?":
+
+STEP 1: CHECK CURRENT STATE
+  → Read package.json / pubspec.yaml → exact current versions
+  → Grep for deprecated APIs currently used in src/
+  → Count how many files use the library/API being upgraded
+
+STEP 2: CHECK TARGET STATE
+  → WebSearch "[library] migration guide [current version] to [target version]"
+  → WebSearch "[library] breaking changes [target version]"
+  → List ALL breaking changes that affect THIS project
+
+STEP 3: IMPACT ANALYSIS
+  → For each breaking change → Grep in src/ → count affected files
+  → Classify: auto-fixable (codemod) vs manual fix
+
+STEP 4: PRESENT DECISION
+  "Upgrading [X] from [v1] to [v2]:
+   → Breaking changes: [N] that affect your project
+   → Files to update: [N]
+   → Auto-fixable: [N] (via codemod)
+   → Manual fixes: [N]
+   → Risk: [low/medium/high]

+## Codebase Scan Strategy
+
+**Protocol for large projects, monorepos, and multi-module codebases. Choose the right scan depth.**
+
+### When This Triggers
+
+```
+TRIGGERS:
+  - Project has > 50 files in src/
+  - Monorepo with multiple apps/packages
+  - Multi-module project (app/ + packages/ + shared/)
+  - User says "new project" / "first time seeing this code"
+  - User says "check the whole codebase" / "audit"
+  - You don't know where to start
+
+⛔ DO NOT Read every file — token waste
+⛔ DO NOT guess structure from folder names alone
+✅ Scan strategically: breadth first, depth on demand
+```
+
+### Scan Levels
+
+```
+LEVEL 1: QUICK SCAN (~5 reads) — for focused tasks
+  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+  │ 1. ls src/ (or app/ or lib/) → map top-level folders    │

+### Monorepo Strategy
+
+```
+MONOREPO DETECTED WHEN:
+  → Root has packages/ or apps/ or modules/ or workspaces in package.json
+  → Multiple package.json files at different levels
+  → lerna.json / nx.json / turbo.json exists
+
+SCAN PROTOCOL FOR MONOREPOS:
+  1. READ ROOT: package.json → workspaces field → list all packages
+  2. MAP PACKAGES: ls packages/ (or apps/) → list each package
+  3. IDENTIFY TARGET: Which package does the user's task affect?
+  4. FOCUS: Scan ONLY the target package at Level 2
+  5. SHARED: Also scan shared packages that target imports
+     → Grep "from ['\"](../../packages|@monorepo)" in target package
+  6. IGNORE: Other packages unless explicitly asked
+
+  ⛔ NEVER scan the entire monorepo — scan the target package
+  ✅ Treat each package as its own project with its own scan
+```
+
+### Multi-Module Strategy (React Native + Native)
+
+```
+MULTI-MODULE DETECTED WHEN:
+  → Project has src/ (JS/TS) + ios/ + android/ folders
+  → Native modules exist (react-native.config.js or manual linking)
+  → Custom native code beyond standard template
+
+SCAN PROTOCOL:
+  1. IDENTIFY LAYER: Is the task JS/TS-only or involves native?
+  2. JS/TS TASK → Scan src/ only (Level 1 or 2)
+  3. NATIVE TASK → Also scan:
+     → ios/[AppName]/ → Swift/ObjC source files
+     → android/app/src/main/java/ → Kotlin/Java source files
+     → Check bridging: ios/[AppName]-Bridging-Header.h
+     → Check native modules: Grep "RCT_EXPORT_MODULE" or "@ReactMethod"
+  4. CROSS-LAYER TASK (JS calls native) → Scan both layers
+     → Find the bridge: NativeModules.X in JS → X module in native
+```

-1. READ the file with the bug (don't guess from error message alone)
-2. FIND the exact line causing the issue
-3. UNDERSTAND the data flow (what calls this? what does it return?)
-4. VERIFY the fix works with the actual types/interfaces in the project

-6. CITE: "Fix in [file]:[line] — [root cause] — [why fix works]"
-
-⛔ NEVER:
+GROUNDED BUG FIX PROTOCOL (NON-NEGOTIABLE):
+
+⛔ BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING — SEARCH THE PROJECT FIRST:
+
+STEP 0: EXTRACT KEYWORDS + CHECK GIT (mandatory)
+  → Parse error message for: file name, function name, class name, module name, line number
+  → If error says "Cannot find X" → Grep for "X" in src/
+  → If error says "TypeError in Y" → Grep for "Y" in src/
+  → If error says "Module not found: Z" → Grep for "Z" in package.json AND src/
+  → CHECK RECENT CHANGES (if git project):
+    → First: git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null
+    → If NOT git / no commits → skip git check → go to Step 1
+    → If git: git log --oneline -5 + git diff HEAD~3 --name-only
+    → If broken file was recently changed → read that diff FIRST
+    → 80%+ of bugs are caused by recent changes
+
+STEP 1: SEARCH PROJECT SOURCE (mandatory — NEVER skip)
+  → Grep: search error keywords in src/ directory FIRST
+  → Glob: find related files by pattern (*.ts, *.tsx, *.dart, *.swift, *.kt)
+  → Read: open the TOP 3-5 most relevant matched files
+  → If no match in src/ → search in lib/, app/, packages/, modules/
+  → If STILL no match → expand to project root
+
+STEP 2: READ & UNDERSTAND actual code
+  → Read the file(s) found in Step 1
+  → Trace the data flow: what calls this? what does it return?
+  → Check imports, types, interfaces IN THE PROJECT
+  → Check package.json / pubspec.yaml for dependency versions
+
+STEP 3: FIND ROOT CAUSE in project code
+  → Cite exact file:line where the bug originates
+  → Explain WHY it fails based on the actual code you just read
+
+STEP 4: FIND WORKING EXAMPLE (before fixing)
+  → Search SAME project for similar code that WORKS
+  → Compare broken code vs working code → list differences
+  → The fix should make broken code match the working pattern
+  → If no working example → proceed to Step 5
+
+STEP 5: SINGLE HYPOTHESIS FIX
+  → Form ONE hypothesis from root cause
+  → Make the SMALLEST possible change
+  → ⛔ NEVER stack multiple fixes at once
+  → ⛔ NEVER "fix it and also refactor nearby code"
+  → Verify: does this fix ALL symptoms?
+  → If no → REVERT → new hypothesis (don't carry failed fixes forward)
+
+STEP 6: DEFENSE IN DEPTH (after fix verified)
+  → Add validation at every layer data passes through
+  → Make the bug structurally impossible to recur
+  → Grep for side effects (other files using this function)
+
+STEP 7: CITE source with evidence
+  → "Root cause: [file]:[line] — [what's wrong] — [traced from Step 2-3]"
+  → "Working example: [file]:[line] — [how it works correctly]"
+  → "Fix: [change] — [why it works] — [defense added at layers X, Y]"
+
+⛔ HARD VIOLATIONS (auto-fail):
+  - Suggesting a fix WITHOUT first running Grep/Glob on the project
   - "The error is probably because..." (guess without reading code)
   - "Try changing X to Y" (without reading the file first)
   - "This should fix it" (without verifying types match)
+  - Suggesting generic Stack Overflow solutions without checking project context
+  - Jumping to package.json/config fixes before checking src/ code
+  - Stacking 3+ changes at once (1 hypothesis → 1 change → verify)
+  - Claiming "done" without fresh verification evidence
+  - "Should work now" / "I'm confident" without running/reading output
+
+🚩 ANTI-RATIONALIZATION (catch yourself):
+  "Should work now"           → You didn't verify. RUN IT.
+  "I'm confident this fixes"  → Confidence ≠ evidence. PROVE IT.
+  "Probably a race condition" → Buzzword. TRACE the async flow.
+  "Let me also clean up..."   → STOP. Fix the bug only.
+  Same fix 3+ times          → Architecture problem. STOP & rethink.
