## Overview
Use distributed tracing.
## When to Use
- Design and implement
- Apply best practices
- Optimize performance
- Troubleshoot issues
## Key Approaches
1. Define requirements
2. Choose tools
3. Implement modular
4. Test thoroughly
5. Document decisions
6. Monitor results
## Common Pitfalls
1. Ignoring constraints
2. Skipping standards
3. Poor alignment
4. Inadequate testing
5. No documentation
6. Over-engineering
7. No rollback
8. No monitoring
9. No scalability
10. No validation
## Verification Checklist
- [ ] Requirements validated
- [ ] Standards applied
- [ ] Design reviewed
- [ ] Tests defined
- [ ] Docs complete
- [ ] Monitoring configured
- [ ] Rollback planned
- [ ] Security checked
- [ ] Deploy verified
- [ ] Stakeholder approved

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
Adversarial multi-agent planning skill. Self-orchestrates 5 hostile category members (unspecified-low, unspecified-high, deep, ultrabrain, artistry) via team-mode for ruthless cross-critique debate, distills only the defensible insights, then MANDATORILY hands the distilled insight bundle to the `plan` agent for executable plan formalization. Use when planning needs maximum rigor and surfacing of weak assumptions, blind spots, and over-engineering. Triggers: 'hyperplan', 'hpp', '/hyperplan', ...
Routes multi-tool workflows through MCP servers for large datasets and pipelines. Use when Bash tool overhead is limiting throughput on data-heavy tasks.
Recovers prior coding-agent session context by running `catchup <agent> --since-compact`, which extracts a clean summary of a previous Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Pi Agent session. Use when the user says "catch up", "what did the last session do", "get me up to speed", "I switched agents", or asks to recover/summarize a previous session before continuing. Do NOT use for the current conversation, git history, or any non-agent log.
