+- Companion agents stay thin and task-shaped. They gather evidence, map

+   durable policy to the relevant skill.
+- When a skill and a companion agent overlap, update the agent to follow the
+   skill rather than copying the overlap forward.
+- Prefer passing compact task packets and reconnaissance handoffs into skills
+   over re-stating full workflow rules in each agent.

+Current intended ownership split:
+
+- `solid-split`: canonical split/refactor workflow and step sequencing.
+- `educational-docs`: canonical documentation quality workflow and generated
+   README/JSDoc policy.
+- `test-fix-workflow`: canonical workflow for systematically repairing multiple

+- `plan-alignment`: canonical workflow for selecting and applying roadmap/plan
+   context.
+- `tracker-handoff`: canonical workflow for `.plans.md` and `.logs.md`

 When you touch code under `src/` or `test/`, prefer improving JSDoc so the generated docs are:
 - **Interesting and explanatory**, not just type signatures.
 - **Example-driven**: include small examples in the main description (prefer fenced code blocks like ```ts) so the docs generator preserves them.
 - **Conceptual**: include a brief “what/why” explanation and any important semantics (defaults, invariants, error cases, performance notes).
 
+When a diagram would teach faster than prose, prefer Mermaid Markdown in the documentation surface. Use diagrams for architecture overviews, data flows, decision flows, state transitions, entity relationships, and simple quantitative views when they materially improve comprehension.
+
+When styling those documentation visuals, match Astro Bird's neon-retro-arcade direction: dark backgrounds, blue and cyan structural lines, high-contrast readable labels, and restrained warm neon accents or glow only for the primary highlight. Prefer consistency and contrast over decorative intensity.
+
 Keep examples short, dependency-light, and consistent with the current public API (avoid imaginary helpers or absolute file paths).
 
+Keep this file focused on repo-level policy and invocation rules. The richer tone model, source mapping workflow, visual style guide, Mermaid diagram playbook, citation guidance, and Wikimedia Commons media rules belong in `educational-docs`.

-- spotting doc/code drift early,
-- finding likely examples and tests for a feature,

-When asked to fix multiple test failures:

-1. **FOCUS on fixing ALL issues systematically BEFORE running tests**
-   - Create or update a comprehensive fix plan (e.g., `plans/TestsFix.md`)
-   - Categorize errors by type (TypeScript compilation, async/await, runtime logic)
-   - Prioritize: HIGH (compilation blockers) → MEDIUM (easy fixes) → LOW (investigation needed)
-   - Mark completed items with ✅ as you progress
-
-2. **DO NOT run tests or check test output during the fix phase**
-   - Avoid running `npm test`, `npm run test:silent`, or any test execution commands
-   - Do NOT run partial test checks like `Select-String -Pattern "●"` to see failures
-   - Do NOT attempt to run individual tests to "verify" fixes
-   - TypeScript compilation checks (`npx tsc --noEmit`) are acceptable to validate type fixes
-   - **REMEMBER**: You already have the test failure output - use it to guide your fixes
-
-3. **ONLY run full test suite AFTER all fixes are applied**
-   - Apply ALL planned fixes first (optimistically)
-   - Use `npm test` or `npm run test:silent` for final validation ONLY
-   - Analyze remaining failures and update the plan accordingly
-   - If you feel tempted to run a test, STOP and apply more fixes instead
-
-4. **Follow the plan strictly**
-   - Do not improvise or skip ahead
-   - Execute fixes in the documented priority order
-   - Update the plan with ✅ checkmarks and status notes as you complete each item
-   - Mark ALL items completed before running tests
-
-**Why this matters:**
-- Running tests interrupts the systematic fix workflow
-- Test output during fixes causes distraction and context switching
-- You already have all the error information needed to fix issues
-- Optimistic fixing is faster than iterative test-fix-test cycles
-- This strategy ensures thorough, complete fixes before validation

+When you need to make a change that requires more context than you have available:
+- Update the relevant source plan document with a NEXT: item describing the change and the reason for it, so that future work in that area has more context.
+- Provide a handoff prompt in a text-copy box with the relevant context and a clear question about how to proceed, so that a companion agent can pick it up and investigate.
