A generator that crashes tells you it failed; one that emits plausible output tells you nothing. Test what it found, never that it ran.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A check added after the thing it guards is a check somebody switches off to ship. Wire it shut while there is nothing to block.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Spend against a budget below the real window, and count the tool schemas you re-send on every step — they are the floor compaction cannot reach.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A retry loop that overwrites its feedback variable shows attempt 3 only the failure of attempt 2 — so it re-derives the patch attempt 1 already tried.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A rate without its denominator and its composition misleads while every digit stays true — say n, and say how much of the numerator is already-known noise.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Take the signature from the installed version, not from memory — a plausible API is indistinguishable from a real one until it runs.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A gate that lists what to check fails open — the site nobody remembered to add is the one that breaks. List the exemptions instead, each with a written reason, and the default becomes fail.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A regression test you never saw fail is a guess. Re-break the code and watch it go red before you commit it.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A diagnosis is a claim about a machine you have not run. Reproduce the failure in one short command first — especially when the diagnosis arrived from someone else.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Run the project's verification command literally — same scope, same flags. The near-identical variant you improvise lies in both directions.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A ranking built from part of the system reads as a ranking of the system — write the scope and the exclusions next to the findings, not after them.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A class assembled by hand in a test proves the class works, not that anything reaches it — cover the path production actually takes.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Build one narrow path that crosses every layer and runs, before building any layer in full — an integration that has never executed is a guess.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When two of your own measurements disagree by a margin no mechanism could produce, the defect is in the instrument. Audit the harness before building theory on top of it.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A criterion written after the implementation describes the implementation. Write the failing check first, watch it fail, then build.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A control that saves successfully and changes nothing until a restart is worse than one that fails. Say when it applies, and derive that from where it is read.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Anything copied by hand from another file is correct exactly once. If it can be generated, generate it and fail the build when the copy is stale.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

An empty screen, tab or category is a promise the product is not keeping. Hide it until it has content, or do not build it yet.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A figure and its qualification must be one artifact. Two paragraphs drift apart; one component cannot.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

When a check fires on the wrong target, the fix makes it weaker. Capture the false positive as a test in the same commit, or the rule erodes silently.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Report the experiment that failed, preserve the superseded one unchanged, and never re-roll for significance. Selection is the bias, not the number.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Before reporting a task as done, run the check that would fail if it were not — an explanation is not a fix.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

A caution placed after the action it concerns arrives after the reader has already decided. Put it above, and make it undismissable when it matters.

brcampidelli/chimera-agent

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Turn a prompt-and-parse step into typed questions — one condition each, option names that do not carry the verdict, a number back — and never let that number stop the work on its own.
