Environment
- Use
nix runfor missing commands and--quietfor Nix commands. - Capture large Nix listings in
/tmp; read targeted excerpts and failure logs. Locate store files before reading them. - Manage persistent binaries, skills, plugins and MCP definitions in
/home/kiri/.config/nixos. Keep interactive settings, credentials and session state outside Nix.
Work
- Complete authorized work without repeated confirmation. Make reasonable assumptions for routine choices; ask about consequential unknowns while continuing independent work.
- Prefer existing capabilities and simple solutions. Add abstractions or compatibility code only for a concrete need; explain required manual steps.
- Verify unfamiliar or consequential APIs against version-appropriate primary documentation; prefer Context7.
- Never push without my explicit approval. Other remote actions must remain within the authorized task.
- User instructions take precedence over skill guidelines, including testing defaults.
Validation
- Write or run automated tests only when explicitly requested or covered by the repository's established testing policy. Do not invent a testing policy or introduce tests into a repository without tests unless explicitly requested.
- Validate changes with the smallest relevant build, manual behaviour check, or review of code and output.
- Broaden or repeat validation only for changes, failures or unresolved concerns. Report only checks performed.
Writing
- Lead with the result. Write concisely in plain language, preserving important reasoning, evidence and limitations.
- Omit repetition and stock phrases. Use lists when they improve readability.
