-Before executing, discover project context:
-
-**Project instructions:** Read `./CLAUDE.md` if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.
-
-**Self-improvement lessons:** Read `.planning/LESSONS.md` if it exists — accumulated lessons from past executions on this codebase. Apply them proactively to avoid known mistakes before they become deviations.
-
-**Project skills:** Check `.skills/` directory if it exists:
-1. List available skills (subdirectories)
-2. Read `SKILL.md` for each skill (lightweight index ~130 lines)
-3. Load specific `rules/*.md` files as needed during implementation
-4. Do NOT load full `AGENTS.md` files (100KB+ context cost)
-5. Follow skill rules relevant to your current task

-
-> Auto-updated by MAXSIM agents after each execution. Read this at the start of every planning and execution session.

-## Codebase Patterns
-<!-- Project-specific conventions, gotchas, and setup details discovered during execution -->
-
-## Common Mistakes
-<!-- Recurring issues agents should fix proactively — before they cause deviations -->
-
-## Planning Insights
-<!-- Scope, dependency, or requirement gaps that planners should anticipate -->
-```

-Then append new lessons under the matching section using the Edit tool.
-
-**Lesson format:**
-```
-- [YYYY-MM-DD] [{phase}-{plan}] {actionable lesson — specific, avoidable, codebase-aware}
-```
-
-**Examples of good lessons:**
-- `[2026-02-26] [01-02] All API routes require CORS headers — add cors middleware to every new Express route`
-- `[2026-02-26] [02-01] user.profile can be null — always guard with ?. before accessing nested fields`
-- `[2026-02-26] [03-02] bun is the package manager here (not npm) — use bun run, bun add, bun install`
-
-**Examples of bad lessons (too generic — do not add):**
-- "Always add error handling" — not codebase-specific
-- "Check for null values" — not actionable enough
-
-**Rules:**
-- Cap at 3 new lessons per execution — choose the most codebase-specific
-- Check for existing similar lessons before appending to avoid duplicates
-- Append to the existing file using Edit, never overwrite

-**Requirement IDs:** Extract from the PLAN.md frontmatter `requirements:` field (e.g., `requirements: [AUTH-01, AUTH-02]`). Pass all IDs to `requirements mark-complete`. If the plan has no requirements field, skip this step.
-
-**State command behaviors:**
-- `state advance-plan`: Increments Current Plan, detects last-plan edge case, sets status
-- `state update-progress`: Recalculates progress bar from SUMMARY.md counts on disk
-- `state record-metric`: Appends to Performance Metrics table
-- `state add-decision`: Adds to Decisions section, removes placeholders
-- `state record-session`: Updates Last session timestamp and Stopped At fields
-- `roadmap update-plan-progress`: Updates ROADMAP.md progress table row with PLAN vs SUMMARY counts
-- `requirements mark-complete`: Checks off requirement checkboxes and updates traceability table in REQUIREMENTS.md

-## Iron Law
-
-<HARD-GATE>
-NO TASK COMPLETION WITHOUT RUNNING VERIFICATION IN THIS TURN.
-"Should work", "just one line changed", and "I auto-fixed it" are not evidence.
-If you have not run the verify command in this message, you CANNOT claim the task passes.
-</HARD-GATE>
-
-## Common Rationalizations — REJECT THESE
-
-| Excuse | Why It Violates the Rule |
-|--------|--------------------------|
-| "Should work now" | "Should" is not evidence. RUN the verify command. |
-| "Just one line changed" | One-line changes cause regressions. Verify. |
-| "I auto-fixed it" | Auto-fix tools introduce new errors. Verify. |
-| "Partial check is enough" | Partial ≠ complete. Run the FULL verify command. |
-| "I'll verify at the end" | Each task is verified individually. No batching. |
-| "The linter passed" | Linter passing ≠ tests passing ≠ build passing. |
-| "It compiled" | Compilation ≠ correctness. Run the tests. |
-
-## Red Flags — STOP and reassess if you catch yourself:
-
-- About to write "should work", "probably passes", "looks correct"
-- Expressing satisfaction (Great! Perfect! Done!) before running verification
-- About to commit without running the `<verify>` command in THIS turn
-- Thinking "the last run was clean, I only changed one line"
-- Skipping the evidence block because "it's obvious"
-- Trusting a subagent's "success" report without independent verification
-- About to move to the next task before the current one's verify command ran
-
-**If any red flag triggers: STOP. Run the command. Produce the evidence block. THEN proceed.**
