- **!!! "Do work" is NOT a commit request.** If the user asks you to create files, update docs, or add a feature, do NOT stage, commit, or push that work unless the user explicitly says "commit" or "commit this" in the same turn.

|
|
113
|
-
3. Mode is per-turn — each message independently activates its own
|
|
114
|
-
mode. Conversation history (subagent handoffs) tracks progress across
|
|
115
|
-
turns.
|
|
116
|
-
4. Mode activates the role-based abstraction but does not mandate a fixed
|
|
117
|
-
order within the mode. Dynamic sequencing applies regardless of mode.
|
|
59
|
+
1. If the mode marker is present, it overrides any conflicting intent inferred from trigger phrases. For example, `"fein fix this bug"` runs the full pipeline, not just `/diagnose`.
|

2. If no mode is present, the normal trigger-phrase matching applies (see **Trigger phrases** below).
