+
7
+ When a user invokes any Code Captain command, you MUST:
8
+
9
+ 1. **Display a welcome greeting** - Randomly select one of these:
10
+ - "All aboard! Code Captain ready to steer your development ship."

20
+ 2. **Execute the command workflow immediately** - Follow the instructions in the prompt file exactly. Do NOT describe or summarize the instructions back to the user. Act on them.
21
+ 3. **Use available tools efficiently** - Leverage all available IDE capabilities (codebase search, file editing, terminal commands, etc.)
22
+
23
+ ## File Organization
24

25
+ All Code Captain output is organized under `.code-captain/`:

37
+ ## Available Commands
38
+
39
+ ### Core Development Workflow
40
+ - `create-spec` - Generate feature specifications using a contract-first approach
41
+ - `edit-spec` - Modify existing specifications with change tracking
42
+ - `execute-task` - Execute implementation tasks using TDD from specifications
43
+ - `initialize` - Analyze and set up project foundation with documentation
44
+ - `plan-product` - Transform product ideas into comprehensive plans
45
+
46
+ ### Analysis & Quality
47
+ - `create-adr` - Create Architecture Decision Records with research
48
+ - `research` - Conduct systematic research using structured phases
49
+ - `explain-code` - Generate comprehensive code explanations with diagrams
50
+ - `status` - Provide comprehensive project status with next actions
51
+ - `swab` - Make one focused code improvement (Boy Scout Rule)
52
+
53
+ ### Meta
54
+ - `new-command` - Create new Code Captain commands following established patterns
55
+
56
+ ## Behavioral Rules
57
+
58
+ - **Challenge ideas** - If a requirement seems technically infeasible, the scope is too large, or the approach conflicts with existing patterns, say so directly. Suggest alternatives.
59
+ - **Be methodical** - Follow structured phases. Don't skip steps. Track progress.
60
+ - **Contract-first** - For specification commands, establish agreement before creating files. Never presume what to build.
61
+ - **One question at a time** - During clarification rounds, ask a single focused question targeting the highest-impact unknown.
62
+ - **Codebase-aware** - Scan the existing codebase before making recommendations. Align with existing patterns and architecture.
63
+ - **Test-driven** - When implementing, write tests first. Zero tolerance for failing tests.
64
+ - **Conservative** - When uncertain, ask. When making changes, prefer small and safe over ambitious and risky.

396
- ## Best Practices
397
-
398
- ### Decision Scope and Focus
399
-
400
- - Focus on one significant architectural decision per ADR
401
- - Clearly separate the problem from potential solutions
402
- - Include sufficient context for future readers to understand the decision
403
- - Document the decision even if it seems obvious at the time
404
- - Consider both technical and business implications
405
-
406
- ### Alternatives Analysis
407
-
408
- - Always include the "do nothing" or "status quo" option
409
- - Research industry standards and best practices
410
- - Consider both short-term and long-term implications
411
- - Include effort and risk assessments for each option
412
- - Seek diverse perspectives and expert opinions
413
-
414
- ### Decision Documentation
415
-
416
- - Use clear, jargon-free language that new team members can understand
417
- - Include relevant diagrams, code examples, or architectural sketches
418
- - Reference external sources and supporting documentation
419
- - Document both positive and negative consequences honestly
420
- - Plan for decision review and potential revision
421
-
422
- ### Stakeholder Engagement
423
-
424
- - Involve all teams affected by the architectural decision
425
- - Allow time for thoughtful review and feedback
426
- - Document dissenting opinions and how they were addressed
427
- - Ensure decision makers have sufficient context and time
428
- - Follow up on implementation and measure success
429
-
430
- ### ADR Management
431
-
432
- - Maintain sequential numbering for easy reference
433
- - Store ADRs in version control alongside code
434
- - Link related ADRs to show decision evolution
435
- - Update status when decisions are superseded or deprecated
436
- - Regular review of ADR effectiveness and team satisfaction
437
-
438
- ## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
439
-
440
- ### Decision Process Issues
441
-
442
- - Rushing to document a decision without proper analysis
443
- - Making decisions in isolation without stakeholder input
444
- - Failing to research alternative approaches thoroughly
445
- - Not considering long-term consequences and evolution
446
- - Avoiding difficult trade-off discussions
447
-
448
- ### Documentation Problems
449
-
450
- - Writing ADRs that are too technical for business stakeholders
451
- - Failing to include sufficient context for future understanding
452
- - Not updating ADR status when decisions change
453
- - Creating ADRs for trivial decisions that don't warrant documentation
454
- - Writing overly long ADRs that obscure the key decision
455
-
456
- ### Team and Process Challenges
457
-
458
- - Not establishing clear decision-making authority
459
- - Failing to follow up on implementation and monitoring
460
- - Creating ADRs after decisions are already implemented
461
- - Not linking ADRs to related architectural documentation
462
- - Ignoring dissenting opinions without proper consideration
463
-
464
- ### Maintenance and Evolution
465
-
466
- - Letting ADRs become stale or outdated
467
- - Not reviewing and learning from past decisions
468
- - Failing to update related ADRs when superseding decisions
469
- - Not considering the cumulative effect of multiple ADRs
470
- - Avoiding difficult conversations about failed decisions

269
- **Structure Philosophy:**
270
-
271
- - Each user story gets its own file for better organization
272
- - Implementation tasks are kept small and focused (max 5-7 per story)
273
- - Complex stories are broken into multiple smaller stories
274
- - README.md provides overview and progress tracking
275
- - Acceptance criteria become verification checkpoints
276
- - Each story follows TDD: test → implement → verify acceptance criteria
277
-
278
- **Benefits of Folder Structure:**
279
-
280
- - **Manageability**: Each file stays focused and readable
281
- - **Navigation**: Easy to find and work on specific stories
282
- - **Parallel Work**: Multiple developers can work on different stories
283
- - **Version Control**: Smaller, focused diffs when stories change
284
- - **Progress Tracking**: Clear visibility of completion status
285
- - **Traceability**: Every technical task traces to user value
286
-
287
- **File Organization:**
288
-
289
- - **README.md**: Overview, progress summary, dependencies
290
- - **story-N-{name}.md**: Individual stories with focused tasks (5-7 tasks max)
291
- - **Story Naming**: Clear, descriptive names for easy identification
292
- - **Task Numbering**: N.1, N.2, N.3... within each story file

- ## Key Improvements Over Original
362
-
363
- ### 1. Contract-First Approach
364
-
365
- - **No presumptuous file creation** - Nothing gets built until contract is locked
366
- - **Structured clarification** - One question at a time, building understanding
367
- - **Echo check validation** - Clear contract summary before proceeding
368
-
369
- ### 2. Codebase-Aware Questioning
370
-
371
- - **Context scanning between questions** - Each answer triggers fresh codebase analysis
372
- - **Integration-focused queries** - Questions shaped by what exists in the codebase
373
- - **Architecture consistency** - Recommendations align with existing patterns
374
-
375
- ### 3. User Control & Transparency
376
-
377
- - **Clear decision points** - User explicitly approves before file creation
378
- - **Risk assessment option** - Can explore implementation risks before committing
379
- - **Blueprint preview** - Can see planned structure before creation
380
- - **Edit capability** - Can modify contract before locking
381
-
382
- ### 4. Efficient Clarification Process
383
-
384
- - **Gap enumeration** - Systematically identifies all unknowns
385
- - **95% confidence threshold** - Stops asking when ready to deliver
386
- - **Token efficiency** - Focused questions, no verbose explanations during clarification

417
- **Must Include:** Sub-second message delivery while maintaining blockchain verification for spam prevention
418
-
419
- **Hardest Constraint:** Balancing real-time UX with blockchain settlement delays and gas cost management
420
-
421
- **⚠️ Technical Concerns:**
422
- - Gas costs could make casual chat expensive ($1-5 per message during network congestion)
423
- - Background settlement failures need graceful handling and user notification
424
- - Wallet integration adds authentication complexity to existing simple auth system
425
-
426
- **💡 Recommendations:**
427
- - Consider Layer 2 solution (Polygon) to reduce gas costs to $0.01-0.10 per message
428
- - Implement message batching to settle multiple messages in single transaction
429
- - Add fallback mode for when blockchain settlement fails
430
-
431
- **Success Criteria:** Messages appear instantly, spam is prevented via crypto payments, blockchain verification happens within 5 minutes

433
- **Scope Boundaries:**
434
- - In Scope: Real-time chat, wallet integration, background blockchain settlement
