[BLOCKING] Execute skill steps in declared order. NEVER skip, reorder, or merge steps without explicit user approval. [BLOCKING] Before each step or sub-skill call, update task tracking: setin_progresswhen step starts, setcompletedwhen step ends. [BLOCKING] Every completed/skipped step MUST include brief evidence or explicit skip reason. [BLOCKING] If Task tools are unavailable, create and maintain an equivalent step-by-step plan tracker with the same status transitions.
[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.Critical Thinking Mindset — Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: Never present guess as fact — cite sources for every claim, admit uncertainty freely, self-check output for errors, cross-reference independently, stay skeptical of own confidence — certainty without evidence root of all hallucination.
AI Mistake Prevention — Failure modes to avoid on every task: - Check downstream references before deleting. Deleting components causes documentation and code staleness cascades. Map all referencing files before removal. - Verify AI-generated content against actual code. AI hallucinates APIs, class names, and method signatures. Always grep to confirm existence before documenting or referencing. - Trace full dependency chain after edits. Changing a definition misses downstream variables and consumers derived from it. Always trace the full chain. - Trace ALL code paths when verifying correctness. Confirming code exists is not confirming it executes. Always trace early exits, error branches, and conditional skips — not just happy path. - When debugging, ask "whose responsibility?" before fixing. Trace whether bug is in caller (wrong data) or callee (wrong handling). Fix at responsible layer — never patch symptom site. - Assume existing values are intentional — ask WHY before changing. Before changing any constant, limit, flag, or pattern: read comments, check git blame, examine surrounding code. - Verify ALL affected outputs, not just the first. Changes touching multiple stacks require verifying EVERY output. One green check is not all green checks. - Holistic-first debugging — resist nearest-attention trap. When investigating any failure, list EVERY precondition first (config, env vars, DB names, endpoints, DI registrations, data preconditions), then verify each against evidence before forming any code-layer hypothesis. - Surgical changes — apply the diff test. Bug fix: every changed line must trace directly to the bug. Don't restyle or improve adjacent code. Enhancement task: implement improvements AND announce them explicitly. - Surface ambiguity before coding — don't pick silently. If request has multiple interpretations, present each with effort estimate and ask. Never assume all-records, file-based, or more complex path.
Understand Code First — HARD-GATE: Do NOT write, plan, or fix until you READ existing code. 1. Search 3+ similar patterns (grep/glob) — citefile:lineevidence 2. Read existing files in target area — understand structure, base classes, conventions 3. Runpython.claude/scripts/code_graph trace <file> --direction both --jsonwhen.code-graph/graph.dbexists 4. Map dependencies viaconnectionsorcallers_of— know what depends on your target 5. Write investigation to.ai/workspace/analysis/for non-trivial tasks (3+ files) 6. Re-read analysis file before implementing — never work from memory alone 7. NEVER invent new patterns when existing ones work — match exactly or document deviation BLOCKED until:- []Read target files- []Grep 3+ patterns- []Graph trace (if graph.db exists)- []Assumptions verified with evidence

Quick Summary
Goal: Facilitate PO acceptance decision with structured criteria review.
Workflow:
- Review — Check acceptance criteria from PBI/story
- Verify — Confirm each criterion is met with evidence
- Decision — ACCEPT, REJECT (with reasons), or CONDITIONAL ACCEPT
- Record — Document decision with date, reviewer, conditions
Key Rules:
- Every acceptance criterion must have a PASS/FAIL verdict
- REJECT must include specific items that failed
- CONDITIONAL ACCEPT must list conditions and timeline
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Acceptance Criteria Review
For each acceptance criterion from the PBI/story:
- Read criterion — Ensure it's testable and measurable
- Check evidence — Review test results, screenshots, demo recordings
- Verify — Does the implementation satisfy the criterion?
- Verdict — PASS or FAIL with specific evidence
Output Format
## Acceptance Decision
**Feature/PBI:** [Reference]
**Reviewer:** [PO name/role]
**Date:** {date}
**Verdict:** ACCEPT | REJECT | CONDITIONAL ACCEPT
### Criteria Review
| # | Criterion | Verdict | Evidence |
|---|-----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | [AC text] | PASS | [Evidence] |
| 2 | [AC text] | FAIL | [Why it failed] |
### Decision Details
- [Rationale for overall verdict]
### Conditions (if CONDITIONAL)
- [Condition 1 — deadline]
- [Condition 2 — deadline]
### Rejected Items (if REJECT)
- [Item 1 — what needs to change]IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST ATTENTION FOLLOW)
- Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks using
TaskCreate - Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
Next Steps
MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION — NO EXCEPTIONS after completing this skill, you MUST ATTENTION use AskUserQuestion to present these options. Do NOT skip because the task seems "simple" or "obvious" — the user decides:
- "/watzup (Recommended)" — Wrap up after acceptance review; commit and document findings
- "/fix" — If acceptance REJECTED: revise failing criteria before re-review
- "Skip, continue manually" — user decides
Closing Reminders
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
TaskCreateBEFORE starting - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:lineevidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act) - MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting:
- MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search 3+ existing patterns and read code BEFORE any modification. Run graph trace when graph.db exists.
- MUST ATTENTION apply critical thinking — every claim needs traced proof, confidence >80% to act. Anti-hallucination: never present guess as fact.
- MUST ATTENTION apply AI mistake prevention — holistic-first debugging, fix at responsible layer, surface ambiguity before coding, re-read files after compaction.
[TASK-PLANNING] Before acting, analyze task scope and systematically break it into small todo tasks and sub-tasks using TaskCreate.
[IMPORTANT] Analyze how big the task is and break it into many small todo tasks systematically before starting — this is very important.
