-## 🧬 CODE FIELD - COGNITIVE ENVIRONMENT
-
-**Apply to ALL code generation. Creates conditions where better code emerges naturally.**
+## CODE FIELD
 
-### Core Inhibitions
+**Before writing code:** State assumptions, bound scope, identify edge cases.
 
 ```
 Do not write code before stating assumptions.
 Do not claim correctness you haven't verified.
 Do not handle only the happy path.
-Under what conditions does this work?
 ```
 
-### Before Writing Code
-
-- What are you assuming about the input?
-- What are you assuming about the environment?
-- What would break this?
-- What would a malicious caller do?
-
-### Do Not
-
-- Write code before stating assumptions
-- Claim correctness you haven't verified
-- Handle the happy path and gesture at the rest
-- Import complexity you don't need
-- Solve problems you weren't asked to solve
-- Produce code you wouldn't want to debug at 3am
-{{#if HAS_PIPELINE_POLICY}}
-- Leave manual infrastructure changes without IaC parity
-- Skip pipeline deployment after local testing
-- Create production secrets via kubectl (use Sealed Secrets)
-- Mark infrastructure work complete without verifying IaC matches live state
-{{/if}}
-
-### Expected Output Format
-
-**Before code**: Assumptions stated explicitly, scope bounded
-**In code**: Smaller than expected, edge cases handled or explicitly rejected
-**After code**: "What this handles" and "What this does NOT handle" sections
-
-*Attribution: Based on [context-field research](https://github.com/NeoVertex1/context-field)*
+**Output:** Assumptions → Code (smaller than expected) → "Handles/Does NOT handle"
 
 ---
 
-{{#if HAS_INFRA}}
-## 🚫 INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE POLICY - IaC PARITY REQUIRED
-
-**Local testing is ALLOWED for proving solutions. IaC parity is MANDATORY before completion.**
-
-### Critical: Secrets Are in GitHub
-
-**ALL secrets are stored in GitHub Actions secrets.** Operations requiring secrets MUST use pipelines:
-
-| If operation needs... | Use this pipeline |
-|-----------------------|-------------------|
-| Terraform with secrets | `iac-terraform-cicd.yml` or `ops-ephemeral-terraform.yml` |
-| kubectl with secrets | `ops-approved-operations.yml` |
-| One-time secret operation | `ops-create-ephemeral.yml` (self-destructs after run) |
-
-**Local commands without secrets** (read-only, public resources) are allowed for testing.
-
-### Two-Phase Infrastructure Workflow

-
-### Core Principle
+## PATTERN ROUTER (MANDATORY FIRST)
 
+Before ANY work, print:
 ```
-Local testing proves the solution. IaC ensures reproducibility.
-Manual changes are TEMPORARY. IaC changes are PERMANENT.
-If it's not in IaC, it doesn't exist (will be destroyed/lost).
-Secrets live in GitHub - use pipelines for secret-dependent operations.

-### Approved Pipelines
-
-| Task | Pipeline | Trigger | Notes |
-|------|----------|---------|-------|
-| Kubernetes operations | `ops-approved-operations.yml` | Manual dispatch | Has cluster secrets |
-| Ephemeral environments | `ops-create-ephemeral.yml` | Manual dispatch | Self-destructs after run |
-| Terraform changes | `iac-terraform-cicd.yml` | PR to main | Has TF secrets |
-| Ephemeral Terraform | `ops-ephemeral-terraform.yml` | Manual dispatch | One-time TF operations |
-
-### Using Ephemeral Pipelines for One-Time Operations
-
-For operations that need secrets but are one-time (migrations, testing, data fixes):
-
-```bash
-# Create ephemeral pipeline that self-destructs after completion
-gh workflow run ops-create-ephemeral.yml \
-  -f operation_name="test-new-config" \
-  -f commands="terraform apply -target=module.new_feature"
-  
-# Pipeline runs with secrets, then self-removes
-```
-
-### Parity Verification Checklist
-
-Before marking infrastructure work complete:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Capture current state (after testing via pipeline)
-kubectl get all -n <namespace> -o yaml > /tmp/current-state.yaml
-
-# 2. Destroy test resources (via pipeline if secrets needed)
-gh workflow run ops-approved-operations.yml \
-  -f operation="delete" \
-  -f target="test-resources"
-
-# 3. Apply ONLY from IaC (via pipeline - has secrets)
-# Push IaC changes → PR → iac-terraform-cicd.yml runs automatically
-
-# 4. Verify parity - must produce IDENTICAL state
-kubectl get all -n <namespace> -o yaml > /tmp/iac-state.yaml
-diff /tmp/current-state.yaml /tmp/iac-state.yaml  # Should be empty
-```
-
-### What This Means for Agents
-
-**PHASE 1 - Local Testing (ALLOWED for non-secret operations):**
-- ✓ Run read-only commands: `kubectl get`, `kubectl describe`, `kubectl logs`
-- ✓ Run `terraform plan` via pipeline (needs secrets)
-- ✓ Make cloud console changes to prototype
-- ✓ Use ephemeral pipelines for secret-dependent testing
-
-**PHASE 2 - IaC Parity (MANDATORY - always via pipeline):**
-- ☐ ALL manual changes MUST be translated to IaC (Terraform/K8s YAML)
-- ☐ IaC MUST be committed to version control
-- ☐ Deployment MUST go through CI/CD pipeline (has secrets)
-- ☐ Final state MUST match IaC exactly (verify with diff)
-- ☐ Manual/ephemeral resources MUST be cleaned up
-
-**NEVER:**
-- Run `terraform apply` locally (no secrets available)
-- Run `kubectl apply` with secret-dependent resources locally
-- Create secrets via `kubectl create secret` (use Sealed Secrets)
-- Hardcode or expose secrets in code/logs

-## 🎯 UNIVERSAL AGENT PATTERNS
-
-**Twenty patterns proven to improve LLM agent reliability. Apply to ALL task execution.**
-
-### Pattern 1: Environment Isolation
-Code installed during execution may NOT persist across phases (agent → test → deploy).
-- Check what dependencies are pre-installed before using them
-- Prefer pre-installed tools over installing new ones
-- Design for minimal dependency footprint
-
-### Pattern 2: Recipe Following
-LLMs excel at explicit step-by-step instructions but struggle with ambiguous tasks.
-- Convert complex tasks into numbered sequential commands
-- Each step should be atomic and verifiable
-- Provide exact commands, not descriptions
-
-```
-❌ "Set up a web server with SSL"
-✅ "1. Install nginx: apt-get install nginx
-    2. Generate key: openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048
-    3. Create cert: openssl req -new -x509 ..."
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Pre-execution State Protection
-LLMs do NOT reliably follow negative instructions ("do not delete X").
-- Backup critical files BEFORE starting work
-- Never rely on "do not" for critical constraints
-- Protect state proactively, not reactively
-
-```bash
-# BEFORE modifying configs
-cp /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.bak
-
-# BEFORE database operations  
-sqlite3 db.sqlite ".backup /tmp/db_backup.sqlite"
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: Tool Specification
-Agents succeed more when told WHICH tool to use, not just WHAT to accomplish.
-- Specify exact tool and flags when possible
-- Reduce search space of possible approaches
-
-```
-❌ "Parse this JSON file"
-✅ "Use jq to parse: jq '.key' file.json"
-```
-
-### Pattern 5: Recognizing Impossible Tasks
-Some tasks require pre-computed solutions (compressed algorithms, lookup tables, trained models).
-- Identify tasks requiring: compression below limits, pre-trained weights, exhaustive search
-- These cannot be solved by reasoning alone
-- Detect early to avoid wasted computation
-
-### Pattern 6: Hierarchical Prompting (Recency Bias)
-LLMs weight information at the END of context more heavily.
-- Structure: capabilities → context → CRITICAL instructions
-- Put most important constraints at the END
-- Repeat critical instructions if essential
-
-### Pattern 7: Task Classification
-Different task types require different strategies.
-
-| Category | Strategy |
-|----------|----------|
-| State-sensitive | Pre-backup critical files |
-| Recipe-following | Step-by-step commands |
-| Tool-dependent | Specify exact tool + flags |
-| Research/exploration | Parallel searches |
-
-### Pattern 8: CLI over Libraries
-When environment dependencies are uncertain, prefer subprocess + CLI over library imports.
-- CLI tools more likely pre-installed
-- Better backward compatibility
-- Easier to verify: `which tool`
-
-```python
-# Less portable
-from cryptography import x509
-cert = x509.load_pem_x509_certificate(data)
-
-# More portable
-import subprocess
-result = subprocess.run(["openssl", "x509", "-in", "cert.pem", "-text"], 
-                        capture_output=True, text=True)
-```
-
-### Pattern 9: Format Translation Pipeline
-When task involves non-text data (images, audio, video, binary), convert to standard format first.
-- Identify input format and required output
-- Find converter tool: image→text, audio→transcript, binary→structured
-- Convert to standard intermediate format (FEN, JSON, CSV, etc.)
-
-### Pattern 10: Whitelist-First Sanitization
-For security filtering (XSS, SQL injection, command injection), ALWAYS use allow-list approach.
-- NEVER use blacklist/regex to filter malicious patterns
-- Use established security libraries (bleach, DOMPurify, parameterized queries)
-
-### Pattern 11: Pre-Computed Solution Recognition
-Some tasks have known solutions that cannot be derived through reasoning alone.
-- Recognize tasks matching known solved problems (chess engines, crypto tables, ML models)
-- Search GitHub/papers FIRST before attempting to solve
-- Download and adapt existing solutions rather than reinventing
-
-### Pattern 12: Output Existence Verification (OEV)
-**CRITICAL: 37% of task failures are "output file not created"**
-
-BEFORE completing ANY task:
-1. **Parse expected outputs** from task description (files, paths, artifacts)
-2. **Verify each output EXISTS**: `ls -la /expected/path`
-3. **If missing: CREATE IT** - don't explain, don't ask, just create
-4. **Re-verify** before reporting completion
-
-```bash
-# ALWAYS run before completing a task
-for f in /app/output.json /app/result.txt /app/model.bin; do
-  [ -f "$f" ] && echo "✓ $f exists" || echo "✗ MISSING: $f - CREATE IT NOW"
-done
-```
-
-### Pattern 13: Iterative Refinement Loop (IRL)
-When tests are available and some pass but others fail:
-1. Run tests after implementation
-2. If partial success: read failing test, fix specific issue, re-run
-3. Repeat until 100% pass OR timeout approaching
-4. Reserve 20% of time budget for iteration
-
-```bash
-# Run tests, iterate on failures
-pytest /tests/ -v 2>&1 | tee results.txt
-grep -q "FAILED" results.txt && echo "FIX FAILURES AND RE-RUN"
-```
-
-### Pattern 14: Output Format Validation (OFV)
-When task specifies exact output format:
-1. Extract format requirements from task description
-2. Validate output matches spec before completion
-3. If validation fails: fix output, don't re-explain
-
-```python
-# Common validations
-assert len(output.splitlines()) == 1, "Must be exactly one line"
-assert json.loads(output), "Must be valid JSON"
-```
-
-### Pattern 15: Exception Recovery (ER)
-When code throws exceptions:
-1. Read the stack trace
-2. Fix the specific error (ImportError → install/use stdlib, FileNotFoundError → create file)
-3. Re-run and verify
-4. Don't give up after first exception
-
-### Pattern 16: Task-First Execution (TFE)
-**CRITICAL: Prevents regression where agent analyzes but forgets to create outputs**
-
-BEFORE any analysis or exploration:
-1. **Parse task for REQUIRED OUTPUTS** (files, artifacts, states)
-2. **Create MINIMAL WORKING versions immediately** (touch files, create stubs)
-3. **THEN refine to full implementation**
-4. **Never finish a turn without outputs existing**
-
-```bash
-# Create placeholders FIRST
-touch /app/output.json /app/model.pt /app/cli.py
-# Then implement and overwrite with real content
-```
-
-### Pattern 17: Constraint Extraction (CE)
-Agent misses specific constraints buried in task descriptions.
-
-BEFORE implementing:
-1. **Parse for constraint keywords**: "exactly", "only", "single", "must be", "no more than"
-2. **Extract format constraints**: file types, line counts, size limits, response formats
-3. **Create constraint checklist**
-4. **Validate EACH constraint before completion**
-
-```
-Task: "Create single .rs file that outputs Fibonacci"
-CONSTRAINTS:
-☐ Single file (not multiple)
-☐ Extension: .rs
-☐ Output: Fibonacci numbers
-```
-
-### Pattern 18: Multi-Tool Pipeline (MTP)
-Complex tasks need multiple tools chained together.
-
-1. **Decompose task into stages** (input → transform → output)
-2. **Identify tool for EACH stage** (don't implement from scratch if tool exists)
-3. **Verify tools available**: `which tool || pip install package`
-4. **Chain in pipeline**
-
-```
-Task: "Find best chess move from board image"
-Pipeline: image → tesseract/vision → FEN → stockfish → move
-```
-
-### Pattern 19: Enhanced Impossible Task Refusal (ITR+)
-Pattern 5 identifies impossible tasks but agent still attempts them.
-
-**Impossibility markers → REFUSE IMMEDIATELY:**
-- Compression below Shannon limit (e.g., "GPT-2 in 5KB" - weights are 500MB+)
-- Pre-trained weights required but none provided
-- Exhaustive search in exponential space
-- Undecidable problems
-
-```bash
-# If impossible, create explanation file and STOP
-echo "IMPOSSIBLE: Task requires X but constraint limits to Y < X" > /app/IMPOSSIBLE.md
-# Do NOT attempt partial solutions
-```
-
-### Pattern 20: Adversarial Thinking (AT)
-Security bypass/attack tasks require "attacker mindset".
-
-1. **Detect**: Keywords "bypass", "break", "exploit", "circumvent", "evade"
-2. **Flip perspective**: Not "how to use correctly" but "how to break it"
-3. **Enumerate attack vectors** (case variation, encoding, null bytes, context breaking)
-4. **Test each vector until one works**
-
-```
-DEFENSIVE: "How do I use this filter?"
-ADVERSARIAL: "How do I craft input that bypasses the filter?"
-```

-## 🎯 DOMAIN-SPECIFIC PATTERNS
-
-**Task-specific guidance for common failure categories.**
-
-### Pattern 21: Chess Engine Integration (CEI)
-Chess tasks require external engines - reasoning alone cannot find optimal moves.
+## COMPLETION GATES (MANDATORY)
 
-**Detection**: Keywords "chess", "best move", "FEN", "PGN", "checkmate"
+**Cannot say "done" until ALL pass:**
 
-**Protocol**:
-1. Check for Stockfish: `which stockfish || apt-get install -y stockfish`
-2. Parse board state to FEN format
-3. Use Stockfish for analysis: `echo "position fen $FEN" | stockfish`
-4. Extract best move from engine output
+| Gate | Check | If Fail |
+|------|-------|---------|
+| 1 | Output files exist | CREATE immediately |
+| 2 | Constraints satisfied | FIX violations |
+| 3 | Tests 100% pass | ITERATE |
 
 ```bash
-# Stockfish one-liner for best move
-echo -e "position fen rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1\ngo depth 20" | stockfish | grep "bestmove"
-```
-
-**NEVER**: Try to calculate chess moves through reasoning - use the engine.
-
-### Pattern 22: Git Recovery Forensics (GRF)
-Git recovery tasks require forensic approach, not standard git commands.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "recover", "corrupted", "lost commit", "fix git", "reflog"
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **BACKUP FIRST**: `cp -r .git .git.bak`
-2. Check integrity: `git fsck --full --no-dangling`
-3. Check reflog: `git reflog` (commits survive even after reset)
-4. Check loose objects: `find .git/objects -type f`
-5. Recover from pack files if needed
-
-```bash
-# Recovery sequence
-git fsck --full 2>&1 | tee /tmp/git-fsck.log
-git reflog --all
-git log --all --oneline --graph
-```
-
-**NEVER**: Run destructive commands without backup. Use `--dry-run` first.
-
-### Pattern 23: Compression Impossibility Detection (CID)
-Some compression tasks are mathematically impossible.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "compress", "codegolf", "under X bytes", "minimal size"
-
-**Impossibility Markers**:
-- ML model weights (GPT-2 = 500MB+, cannot be <1MB without losing function)
-- Random/encrypted data (incompressible by definition)
-- Asking for compression ratio beyond information-theoretic limits
-
-```bash
-# If task asks for impossible compression:
-echo "IMPOSSIBLE: Task requires compressing ${ORIGINAL_SIZE} to ${TARGET_SIZE}.
-Shannon's source coding theorem proves this is impossible for this data type.
-Minimum achievable size is approximately ${MIN_POSSIBLE}." > /app/IMPOSSIBLE.md
-```
-
-**NEVER**: Attempt to compress ML weights to <1% of original size.
-
-### Pattern 24: Polyglot Code Construction (PCC)
-Polyglot tasks require specific compiler/interpreter quirks.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "polyglot", "works in both", "compile as X and Y"
-
-**Known Polyglot Techniques**:
-- C/Python: Use `#if 0` blocks and string literals
-- Rust/C: Careful use of macros and comments
-- Shell/Python: Shebang and triple-quote tricks
-
-```c
-// C and Python polyglot example
-#if 0
-"""
-#endif
-#include <stdio.h>
-int main() { printf("Hello from C\n"); return 0; }
-#if 0
-"""
-print("Hello from Python")
-#endif
-```
-
-**Protocol**: Search for existing polyglot examples before implementing.
-
-### Pattern 25: Service Configuration Pipeline (SCP)
-Multi-service configuration requires ordered setup.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "configure", "server", "webserver", "service", "daemon"
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **Identify all services** needed (nginx, git, ssh, etc.)
-2. **Check service status**: `systemctl status <service>`
-3. **Configure in dependency order** (base → dependent)
-4. **Test each service** before moving to next
-5. **Verify end-to-end** after all configured
-
-```bash
-# Service configuration pattern
-for svc in nginx git-daemon ssh; do
-  systemctl status $svc || systemctl start $svc
-  systemctl is-active $svc || echo "FAILED: $svc"
-done
-```
-
-### Pattern 26: Near-Miss Iteration (NMI)
-When tests show >50% passing, focus on specific failing tests.
-
-**Detection**: Test results show partial success (e.g., 8/9, 6/7, 5/6)
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Run tests with verbose output: `pytest -v 2>&1 | tee results.txt`
-2. Extract ONLY failing test names
-3. Read failing test code to understand exact requirement
-4. Fix specific issue without breaking passing tests
-5. Re-run ONLY failing tests first: `pytest test_file.py::test_name -v`
-6. Then run full suite to verify no regressions
-
-```bash
-# Near-miss iteration loop
-while true; do
-  pytest -v 2>&1 | tee /tmp/results.txt
-  FAILED=$(grep "FAILED" /tmp/results.txt | head -1)
-  [ -z "$FAILED" ] && echo "ALL PASS" && break
-  echo "Fixing: $FAILED"
-  # ... fix specific test ...
-done
-```
-
-**Reserve 30% of time budget for near-miss iteration.**
-
-### Pattern 27: Output Directory Cleanup (ODC)
-Tests often check for ONLY specific files in output directories.
-
-**Detection**: Tasks mentioning "single file", "only", constraints on output directory contents
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **Before completing**, list output directory: `ls /app/output/`
-2. **Remove non-required files**: compiled binaries, temp files, backups
-3. **Keep ONLY the required outputs** as specified in task
-
-```bash
-# Clean output directory - keep only required file
-cd /app/polyglot
-ls -la  # Check what's there
-rm -f *.o *.out main cmain  # Remove compiled artifacts
-ls -la  # Verify only main.rs remains
-```
-
-**Common mistakes**: Leaving compiled binaries, test files, or backup files in output directories.
-
-### Pattern 28: Service Smoke Test (SST)
-Services must be tested BEFORE claiming completion.
-
-**Detection**: Tasks involving servers, daemons, APIs, web services
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Start the service
-2. **Immediately test it** with curl/wget/client
-3. If test fails: debug, fix, restart, re-test
-4. Only complete when test PASSES
-
-```bash
-# Service verification pattern
-# 1. Start service
-systemctl start nginx
-
-# 2. IMMEDIATELY test it
-curl -v http://localhost:80/ 2>&1 | grep -q "200 OK" || echo "FAIL: nginx not serving"
-
-# 3. For PyPI server
-python -m http.server 8080 &
-curl -s http://localhost:8080/simple/ | grep -q "href" || echo "FAIL: PyPI not serving"
-
-# 4. For git server
-git ls-remote git@localhost:/repo.git 2>&1 | grep -q "refs" || echo "FAIL: git not serving"
-```
-
-**NEVER complete without a successful smoke test.**
-
-### Pattern 29: Multi-Solution Discovery (MSD)
-Some tasks require finding ALL valid solutions, not just one.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "all moves", "both solutions", "list all", "find every"
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **Parse task for multi-solution requirement**
-2. For chess: Find ALL checkmate moves, not just the first one
-3. For puzzles: Enumerate all valid answers
-4. **Output ALL solutions** in required format
-
-```bash
-# Chess: Find ALL checkmate-in-one moves
-# Don't stop at first bestmove, analyze ALL legal moves
-echo -e "position fen $FEN\ngo depth 20" | stockfish | grep "bestmove"
-# Then check if there are MULTIPLE winning moves
-echo -e "position fen $FEN\ngo movetime 5000 multipv 5" | stockfish
-# Extract ALL moves that lead to checkmate
-```
-
-### Pattern 30: Performance Threshold Tuning (PTT)
-Tasks with numeric thresholds require iterative tuning.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "win rate", "accuracy", "percentage", "threshold", "at least X%"
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Run initial implementation
-2. Check if thresholds are met
-3. If not: analyze what's missing, tune parameters
-4. Re-run until thresholds pass
-
-```bash
-# Performance tuning loop for Core Wars
-while true; do
-  # Run tests
-  pytest -v 2>&1 | tee results.txt
-  
-  # Check for threshold failures
-  if grep -q "need.*%+" results.txt; then
-    echo "Threshold not met - tuning..."
-    # Analyze which opponent needs better strategy
-    # Modify warrior code
-    # Re-run
-  else
-    break
-  fi
-done
-```
-
-**For compression tasks**: If decompression fails, verify round-trip: `compress | decompress == original`
-
-### Pattern 31: Round-Trip Verification (RTV)
-For transform/encode/compress tasks, verify the reverse operation.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "compress", "encode", "serialize", "encrypt", and task mentions "decompress", "decode", etc.
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Create test data
-2. Apply forward transform (compress)
-3. **Immediately apply reverse** (decompress)
-4. **Verify original == result**
-5. Fix if not matching
-
-```bash
-# Round-trip verification for compression
-echo "original data" > /tmp/original.txt
-python compress.py /tmp/original.txt /tmp/compressed.bin
-python decompress.py /tmp/compressed.bin /tmp/recovered.txt
-diff /tmp/original.txt /tmp/recovered.txt && echo "PASS" || echo "FAIL: round-trip broken"
-```
-
-### Pattern 32: CLI Execution Verification (CEV)
-When creating executable CLI tools, verify execution method matches tests.
-
-**Detection**: Tasks requiring executable scripts, CLI tools, command-line interfaces
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Add proper shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env python3` (or appropriate interpreter)
-2. Make executable: `chmod +x <script>`
-3. **Test EXACTLY as verifier will run it**: `./tool args` not `python3 tool args`
-4. Verify output format matches expected format
-
-```bash
-# CLI verification pattern
-cat << 'EOF' > /app/cli_tool
-#!/usr/bin/env python3
-import sys
-# ... implementation
-print(result)
-EOF
-chmod +x /app/cli_tool
-# Test exactly as verifier runs it
-./app/cli_tool input.txt  # NOT: python3 /app/cli_tool input.txt
-```
-
-**Common mistake**: Script works with `python3 script.py` but fails with `./script.py` (missing shebang/chmod)
-
-### Pattern 33: Numerical Stability Testing (NST)
-Numerical algorithms require robustness against edge cases.
-
-**Detection**: Statistical sampling, numerical optimization, floating-point computation
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. Test with multiple random seeds (3+ iterations, not just one)
-2. Test domain boundaries explicitly (0, near-zero, infinity)
-3. Use adaptive step sizes for derivative computation
-4. Add tolerance margins for floating-point comparisons (1e-6 typical)
-5. Handle edge cases: empty input, single element, maximum values
-
-```python
-# Numerical robustness pattern
-import numpy as np
-np.random.seed(42)  # Reproducible
-for seed in [42, 123, 456]:  # Multiple seeds
-    np.random.seed(seed)
-    result = algorithm(data)
-    assert np.isclose(result, expected, rtol=1e-5), f"Failed with seed {seed}"
-```
-
-**Transferable to**: Monte Carlo, optimization, signal processing, ML training
-
-### Pattern 34: Image-to-Structured Pipeline (ISP)
-Visual data requires dedicated recognition tools, not reasoning.
-
-**Detection**: Tasks involving image analysis, diagram parsing, visual data extraction
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **NEVER rely on visual reasoning alone** - accuracy is unreliable
-2. Search for existing recognition libraries:
-   - Chess: `chessimg2pos`, `fenify`, `board_to_fen` (Python)
-   - OCR: `tesseract`, `easyocr`, `paddleocr`
-   - Diagrams: `diagram-parser`, OpenCV + Hough transforms
-3. Verify extracted structured data before using
-4. If no tools available, clearly state the limitation
-
-```bash
-# Image-to-structured pipeline
-pip install board_to_fen
-# OR use tesseract for text
-tesseract image.png output -l eng
-# Verify extracted data
-python -c "import board_to_fen; fen = board_to_fen.predict('chess.png'); print(fen)"
-```
-
-**Transferable to**: Medical imaging (DICOM), satellite imagery, document processing
-
-### Pattern 35: Decoder-First Analysis (DFA)
-For encode/compress tasks with provided decoder, analyze decoder FIRST.
-
-**Detection**: Task provides a decoder/decompressor and asks to create encoder/compressor
-
-**Protocol**:
-1. **Read and understand the provided decoder** before writing encoder
-2. Identify expected input format from decoder source
-3. Create minimal test case matching decoder's expected format
-4. Test round-trip with decoder BEFORE optimizing for size
-5. If decoder crashes, your format is wrong - don't optimize further
-
-```bash
-# Decoder-first analysis
-# Step 1: Understand decoder
-cat /app/decomp.c | grep -A 10 "read\|fread\|getchar"  # Find input parsing
-
-# Step 2: Create minimal test matching decoder format
-echo -n "minimal format" > /tmp/test.comp
-
-# Step 3: Test with decoder FIRST
-cat /tmp/test.comp | ./decomp
-# If segfault: format is wrong, analyze more
+# Gate 1: for f in $EXPECTED; do [ -f "$f" ] || echo "MISSING: $f"; done
+# Gate 3: {{TEST_COMMAND}}
 ```
 
-**Transferable to**: Protocol implementation, serialization, codec development
-
-### Pattern 36: Competition Domain Research (CDR)
-Competitive tasks benefit from researching domain-specific winning strategies.
-
-**Detection**: Keywords "win rate", "beat", "competition", "versus", "tournament"
+---
 
-**Protocol**:
-1. **Research domain strategies BEFORE implementing**:
-   - CoreWars: Paper beats Stone, Imps tie, Scanners vary
-   - Chess: Opening books, endgame tablebases
-   - Code golf: Known shortest solutions
-2. Time-box implementation iterations: stop at 70% time budget
-3. Track progress per iteration to identify improvement trajectory
-4. If not meeting threshold, document best achieved + gap
+## MEMORY SYSTEM
 
 ```
-# CoreWars strategy research
-# Stone bomber: Drops DAT bombs at regular intervals
-# Paper warrior: Self-replicates faster than stone bombs
-# Imp: MOV 0, 2667 - ties but rarely wins
-# Vampire: JMP traps that capture processes
-
-# Strategy: Paper beats stone, combine with imp for backup

-## ⚡ SESSION START PROTOCOL
-
-**EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY before any response:**
-
+**Commands:**
 ```bash
-uam task ready                                    # Check existing work
 sqlite3 {{MEMORY_DB_PATH}} "SELECT * FROM memories ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10;"
-sqlite3 {{MEMORY_DB_PATH}} "SELECT * FROM session_memories WHERE session_id='current' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5;"
-uam agent status                                  # Check other active agents
+{{MEMORY_QUERY_CMD}} "keywords"
+{{MEMORY_STORE_CMD}} "lesson" --importance 8
 ```
 
-**On work request**: `uam task create --title "..." --type task|bug|feature`
-
 ---
 
-## 🤖 MULTI-AGENT COORDINATION PROTOCOL
-
-**Parallel-first rule**: When safe, run independent tool calls in parallel (searches, reads, status checks) and invoke multiple subagents concurrently for review. Optimize for fewer turns and lower tokens without losing accuracy.
+## WORKTREE WORKFLOW
 
-### Before Claiming Any Work
+**ALL changes use worktrees. NO EXCEPTIONS.**
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Check for active agents working on related files
-uam agent overlaps --resource "<files-or-directories>"
-
-# 2. If overlap detected, assess risk:
-#    - NONE/LOW: Proceed, coordinate merge order
-#    - MEDIUM: Announce intent, agree on file sections  
-#    - HIGH/CRITICAL: Wait for completion or request handoff
-```
-
-### Announcing Work
-
-```bash
-uam agent announce \
-  --resource "src/path/to/files" \
-  --intent editing|refactoring|reviewing|testing|documenting \
-  --description "Brief description" \
-  --estimated-minutes 30
-```
-
-### Overlap Response Matrix
-
-| Risk Level | Action | Rationale |
-|------------|--------|-----------|
-| `none` | Proceed immediately | No conflict possible |
-| `low` | Proceed, note merge order | Different files/sections |
-| `medium` | Announce, coordinate sections | Same directory |
-| `high` | Wait or split work | Same file, different sections |
-| `critical` | STOP - request handoff | Same file, same sections |
-
-### Parallel Work Patterns
-
-```bash
-# CORRECT: Independent droids can run in parallel
-Task(subagent_type: "code-quality-guardian", ...) 
-Task(subagent_type: "security-auditor", ...)      # Runs concurrently
-Task(subagent_type: "performance-optimizer", ...) # Runs concurrently
-
-# ALSO: Parallelize tool calls when independent
-multi_tool_use.parallel([
-  { tool: "Grep", ... },
-  { tool: "Read", ... },
-  { tool: "LS", ... }
-])
-
-# CORRECT: Coordinate merge order for overlapping changes
-# Agent A finishes first → merges first
-# Agent B rebases → merges second
+{{WORKTREE_CREATE_CMD}} <slug>     # Creates {{WORKTREE_DIR}}/NNN-<slug>/
+cd {{WORKTREE_DIR}}/NNN-<slug>/
+git add -A && git commit -m "type: description"
+{{WORKTREE_PR_CMD}} <id>           # Creates PR
+{{WORKTREE_CLEANUP_CMD}} <id>      # After merge
 ```
 
-### Agent Capability Routing
-
-| Task Type | Route To | Capabilities |
-|-----------|----------|--------------|
-| TypeScript/JavaScript | `typescript-node-expert` | typing, async, node |
-| CLI/TUI work | `cli-design-expert` | ux, help-systems, errors |
-| Security review | `security-auditor` | owasp, secrets, injection |
-| Performance | `performance-optimizer` | algorithms, memory, caching |
-| Documentation | `documentation-expert` | jsdoc, readme, api-docs |
-| Code quality | `code-quality-guardian` | complexity, naming, solid |
-
-**Default**: If a task can benefit from a specialized droid, invoke it before implementation.
-
 ---
 
-## 🧩 MULTI-AGENT EXECUTION (DEPENDENCY-AWARE)
-
-**Goal**: Finish faster by parallelizing independent work while preserving correctness and avoiding conflicts.
-
-**Aggressive parallelization mandate**: Default to multi-agent execution whenever tasks can be safely decomposed; only stay single-threaded when dependencies or overlap risk make parallel work unsafe.
-
-**Process**:
-1. **Decompose** the request into discrete work items with clear inputs/outputs.
-2. **Map dependencies** (A blocks B). Only run B after A is complete.
-3. **Parallelize** dependency-free items with separate agents and explicit file boundaries.
-4. **Gate edits** with `uam agent overlaps --resource "<files>"` before touching any file.
-5. **Merge in dependency order** (upstream first). Rebase or re-run dependent steps if needed.
+## MULTI-AGENT
 
-**When to expand the agent pool**:
-- Multiple files/modules with low coupling
-- Parallel research or analysis tasks
-- Independent test or verification tasks
-
-**Example**:
+**Before claiming work:**
 ```bash
-# Parallel research tasks (dependency-free)
-Task(subagent_type: "security-auditor", prompt: "Threat model: auth flow in src/auth/*")
-Task(subagent_type: "performance-optimizer", prompt: "Find hotspots in src/cache/*")
-
-# Dependent work (sequential)
-# 1) Agent A updates schema → 2) Agent B updates queries → 3) Agent C updates tests
-```
-
-**Conflict avoidance**:
-- One agent per file at a time
-- Declare file ownership in prompts
-- If overlap risk is high, wait or split by section
-
----
-
-## 🛠️ SKILLFORGE MODE (OPTIONAL)
-
-**Use when**: The request is to create, improve, or compose skills (not regular feature work).
-
-**Phases**:
-0. **Triage** → USE_EXISTING / IMPROVE_EXISTING / CREATE_NEW / COMPOSE
-1. **Deep Analysis** (multi‑lens, edge cases, constraints)
-2. **Specification** (structured skill spec)
-3. **Generation** (implement skill)
-4. **Multi‑Agent Synthesis** (quality + security + evolution approval)
-
-**Fallback**: If SkillForge scripts/requirements are unavailable, use the existing skill routing matrix and create skills manually in `{{SKILLS_PATH}}`.

-
-## 🧾 TOKEN EFFICIENCY RULES
-
-- Prefer concise, high-signal responses; avoid repeating instructions or large logs.
-- Summarize command output; quote only the lines needed for decisions.
-- Use parallel tool calls to reduce back-and-forth.
-- Ask for clarification only when necessary to proceed correctly.

-## 🔌 MCP ROUTER - TOKEN-EFFICIENT TOOL ACCESS
-
-**When you have access to many MCP tools (50+), use the MCP Router to reduce context usage by 98%.**
-
-Instead of loading 150+ tool definitions (~75,000 tokens), the router exposes just 2 meta-tools (~700 tokens):
-
-### discover_tools
-Find tools matching a natural language query.
-
+uam agent overlaps --resource "<files>"
 ```
-discover_tools({ query: "github issues" })
-→ Returns: [{ path: "github.create_issue", description: "..." }, ...]
-
-discover_tools({ query: "file operations", server: "filesystem" })
-→ Returns tools filtered to specific server
-```
-
-### execute_tool
-Execute a tool by its path (from discover_tools results).
-
-```
-execute_tool({ 
-  path: "github.create_issue", 
-  args: { title: "Bug report", body: "Description..." } 
-})
-```
-
-### Workflow
-
-1. **First**: Use `discover_tools` to find relevant tools
-2. **Then**: Use `execute_tool` with the returned path
-
-### When to Use
-
-- Many MCP servers configured (5+ servers, 50+ tools)
-- Token budget is constrained
-- Need to dynamically discover available tools
 
-### CLI Commands
+| Risk | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| none/low | Proceed |
+| medium | Announce, coordinate |
+| high/critical | Wait or split |
 
+**Parallel review before PR:**
 ```bash
-uam mcp-router stats      # Show token savings (traditional vs router)
-uam mcp-router discover --query "search"  # Find tools from CLI
-uam mcp-router list       # Show configured MCP servers
+Task(subagent_type: "security-auditor", ...)
+Task(subagent_type: "code-quality-guardian", ...)
 ```
 
-### Configuration
-
-The router auto-loads from: Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code (`~/.claude/settings.json`), Factory.AI (`~/.factory/mcp.json`), and local `mcp.json`.

-## 🚦 COMPLETION GATES - MANDATORY
+## CRITICAL REMINDERS (READ LAST)
 
-**CANNOT say "done" or "complete" until ALL gates pass. This is NOT optional.**
+1. **BACKUP FIRST**: `cp file file.bak` before ANY modification
+2. **CHECK ENV**: `which tool` before using
+3. **CLI > LIBRARIES**: Use subprocess when uncertain
+4. **VERIFY OUTPUTS**: `ls -la` ALL expected files before "done"
+5. **ITERATE**: On partial test pass, fix specific failure, re-run
+6. **CREATE > EXPLAIN**: Missing output? CREATE it, don't explain
+7. **REFUSE IMPOSSIBLE**: Compression below Shannon limit → IMPOSSIBLE.md
 
-### GATE 1: Output Existence Check
-```bash
-# List ALL expected outputs from task description
-# Verify EACH file exists
-echo "=== GATE 1: OUTPUT EXISTENCE ==="
-for f in /app/expected_output.* /app/result.* /app/*.json; do
-  [ -f "$f" ] && echo "✓ $f exists" || echo "✗ MISSING: $f"
-done
-# If ANY missing: CREATE IT NOW, then re-check
+**P17 Active? Print:**
 ```
-
-### GATE 2: Constraint Compliance Check
+=== CONSTRAINTS ===
+☐ constraint1  ☐ constraint2
+☑ constraint1: PASS/FAIL
+=== END ===
 ```
-Extract ALL constraints from task description:
-☐ File count constraint (e.g., "single file")
-☐ Line count constraint (e.g., "exactly one line")  
-☐ Format constraint (e.g., "valid JSON")
-☐ Size constraint (e.g., "under 5KB")
 
-Verify EACH constraint is satisfied before proceeding.
+**P20 Active? Print:**
 ```
-
-### GATE 3: Test Verification
-```bash
-echo "=== GATE 3: TEST VERIFICATION ==="
-# Run available tests
-pytest /tests/ -v 2>&1 | tail -30
-# If < 100% pass: iterate (fix specific failure, re-run)
-# Reserve 20% of time for iteration
+=== ADVERSARIAL ===
+Target: [filter/protection]
+Vectors: case, encoding, null, context-break
+=== END ===
 ```
 
-**HARD STOP RULE:**
-- If Gate 1 fails → CREATE missing files immediately
-- If Gate 2 fails → FIX constraint violations immediately  
-- If Gate 3 fails → ITERATE until 100% or timeout
-- NEVER report "complete" with failing gates

-   ```
-   DO NOT proceed without printing this block first.
-
-1. **BACKUP FIRST**: Before modifying ANY config, database, or critical file:
-   ```bash
-   cp <file> <file>.bak
-   ```
-
-2. **CHECK ENVIRONMENT**: Before using a library, verify it exists:
-   ```bash
-   which <tool> || python3 -c "import <lib>" 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT AVAILABLE"
-   ```
-
-3. **USE CLI OVER LIBRARIES**: When in doubt, use subprocess + CLI tools.
-
-4. **STEP-BY-STEP**: Break complex tasks into numbered commands. Execute one at a time.
-
-5. **VERIFY EACH STEP**: Check output before proceeding to next step.
-
-6. **STATE-SENSITIVE OPERATIONS**: If task involves recovery, forensics, or state inspection - backup EVERYTHING first.
-
-7. **IMPOSSIBLE DETECTION**: If task requires compression magic, ML inference, or exhaustive search - flag as potentially impossible.
-
-8. **TEST IN ISOLATION**: Dependencies installed during work may not persist. Use pre-installed tools.
-
-9. **OUTPUT VERIFICATION (MANDATORY)**: Before saying "done" or "complete":
-   ```bash
-   # List ALL files the task expects you to create
-   # Verify EACH file exists
-   ls -la /app/expected_output.json /app/result.txt 2>&1
-   # If ANY file is missing: CREATE IT NOW, don't explain why
-   ```
-
-10. **ITERATE ON PARTIAL SUCCESS**: If tests show partial pass (e.g., 8/9):
-    - Read the failing test output
-    - Fix the specific failure
-    - Re-run tests
-    - Repeat until 100% or timeout
-
-11. **CREATE BEFORE EXPLAIN**: If a required output file doesn't exist:
-    - CREATE a minimal working version FIRST
-    - Don't explain why it's missing
-    - Don't ask for clarification
-    - Just make the file exist with valid content
-
-12. **TASK-FIRST**: Create required output files BEFORE analyzing.
-    Touch placeholders immediately, then refine with real content.
-
-13. **EXTRACT CONSTRAINTS (MANDATORY)**: If P17 is active, you MUST print:
-    ```
-    === CONSTRAINT CHECKLIST ===
-    Extracted from task description:
-    ☐ [constraint 1, e.g., "single file only"]
-    ☐ [constraint 2, e.g., "exactly one line output"]
-    ☐ [constraint 3, e.g., "format: valid JSON"]
-    
-    BEFORE completing, verify EACH constraint:
-    ☑ constraint 1: [PASS/FAIL]
-    ☑ constraint 2: [PASS/FAIL]
-    === END CONSTRAINTS ===
-    ```
-    If ANY constraint FAILS, FIX before completing.
-
-14. **MULTI-TOOL PIPELINE**: For complex tasks, identify ALL tools needed.
-    Don't implement from scratch if existing tools exist.
-
-15. **REFUSE IMPOSSIBLE**: If task violates information theory (compress 500MB to 5KB),
-    REFUSE immediately. Create IMPOSSIBLE.md explaining why. Don't attempt.
-
-16. **ADVERSARIAL MINDSET (MANDATORY)**: If P20 is active, you MUST:
-    ```
-    === ADVERSARIAL ANALYSIS ===
-    Target: [what are we trying to bypass/break?]
-    Defense mechanism: [how does the filter/protection work?]
-    
-    ATTACK VECTORS TO TRY:
-    1. Case variation: <ScRiPt>, <SCRIPT>
-    2. Encoding: &#x3C;script&#x3E;, %3Cscript%3E
-    3. Null bytes: <scr\x00ipt>
-    4. Double encoding: %253Cscript%253E
-    5. Context breaking: </style><script>
-    6. Event handlers: <img onerror=alert(1)>
-    7. [add task-specific vectors]
-    
-    TEST EACH vector until one works.
-    === END ADVERSARIAL ===
-    ```
-    DO NOT use the filter "correctly" - your goal is to BREAK it.
