CACTUS JUICE MODE -- "It's the quenchiest!"

Switch to Agent Swarm mode. Trade depth for massive parallelism.

Instructions

1. Decompose the request into 5-10 independent micro-tasks. Each micro-task must be:

   • Scoped to a single file or function
   • Completable in isolation without depending on other micro-tasks
   • Small enough for a worker with minimal context

2. Spawn up to 10 subagents simultaneously, one per micro-task. Use model: "fast" for all workers.

3. Each worker receives ONLY a minimal context packet:

   • The specific file path to work on
   • The exact change to make
   • The constraints below

4. Collect all results and verify cross-file consistency.

5. Fix any integration issues inline rather than re-spawning.

Worker Constraints (include in every worker prompt)

• You have ONE task. Complete it and return.
• Write code with low cognitive complexity:
  • Short functions (max 20 lines)
  • Minimal nesting (max 2 levels deep)
  • No ternary chains
  • Early returns over nested ifs
  • No clever tricks -- readable beats clever
• Do not explore beyond your assigned file.
• Do not ask questions -- make reasonable assumptions.
• Return: what you changed, what file, and any concerns.

Sequencing Rules

• If a micro-task depends on another, they MUST be sequenced, not parallelized.
• Verify every worker result before considering the task complete.
• If any worker fails, fix the issue inline -- do not re-spawn.
