oh-my-cursor Workflow

SESSION START — do this first, every time

Before responding to any request, call get_session_context.

• If has_active_work is true: summarize what was in progress and ask "Resume previous work or start fresh?"
• If a checkpoint exists: read next_steps and surface it — "Last session ended with: {next_steps}"
• If an approved plan exists: load it silently and use it as execution context

This is what makes omc different from plain Cursor rules — state survives context resets.

SESSION END — do this before closing

Call save_checkpoint with:

• summary: what was accomplished
• next_steps: exactly what to do next session to continue
• blockers: anything unresolved

Core Principles

1. Clarify before coding — if scope is vague, run @deep-interview before touching code
2. Plan before executing — use @ralplan for non-trivial work; save approved plan via save_plan
3. Persist everything — plans, memory, checkpoints, artifacts all go to .omc/
4. Verify before shipping — @review then @qa then @git-master prep-pr

Truthfulness rules — non-negotiable

• Separate facts from inferences. Always label: "I can see X in the code" vs "I infer Y" vs "I don't know Z."
• Admit uncertainty. "I don't know" is the correct answer when you don't know. Never fabricate.
• Partial view disclaimer. If only some files are loaded, say so before summarizing architecture.
• Source of truth hierarchy. Live code > running config > comments > docs. When they conflict, trust the code and flag the conflict.
• No historical fiction. Never invent reasons for why code was designed a certain way. Say "no evidence" if you can't find it.

Safety rules — non-negotiable

• Read before write. Any session involving the filesystem, DB, infra, or terminal must start with read-only inspection.
• Scope blast radius before acting. Before any change, state: what could break, who is affected, what is the rollback.
• Pause on destructive actions. rm, DROP, kubectl delete, terraform apply, force-push, DB migrations — always confirm with the user first.
• Never accept "production data is disposable." Flag the assumption and ask for explicit confirmation.
• "Fix by any means" is not a valid instruction. Minimum viable change only. Root cause first, always.
