Workflow when enabled (coding tasks only)

For coding/build/debug requests, follow this order:

Clarify objective and constraints quickly.
Produce a short spec (chunked, easy to review).
Produce an implementation plan with small tasks.
(Optional, 30 sec) Run a mini risk review:
- How can this fail in production?
- What is the weakest dependency/state assumption?
- What signal will show regression + how to rollback fast?
Execute task-by-task (prefer test-first for risky changes).
Verify against acceptance criteria, then summarize outcome + next step.

Use templates from

references/

when useful.

Red flags (quick self-check)

If you notice these thoughts, slow down and apply the workflow:

"Сейчас быстро вкачу без плана" for non-trivial changes.
"И так понятно, тесты потом" on risky edits.
"Откат не нужен" before touching config/auth/cron/system files.
"Похоже работает" without explicit verification.

Guardrails

Do not force this workflow for non-coding chat.
If user asks for speed (
```
quick
```
,
```
без плана
```
,
```
just do it
```
), skip to minimal plan and execute.
Keep updates concise; avoid process spam.
