Always Learn First: Before creating infrastructure, examine existing project management patterns in the codebase. Use Read and Glob tools to find .project-name/ directories or similar structures. Learn from what has worked.
Always Ensure Resumability: The infrastructure must guarantee that anyone (including you after a long break) can resume work with full context. CONTINUATION_PROMPT.md is critical.
Always Make Success Measurable: Avoid vague criteria like "good performance" or "high quality". Use specific numbers: "latency < 100ms", "test coverage > 80%", "code reuse > 40%".
Always Provide Clear Next Actions: Never leave the user wondering what to do next. The last section of your output must specify the immediate next action.
Always Adapt to Technology: Don't assume Java, Python, or any specific stack. Use the user's actual technology stack in examples and documentation.
Always Adapt to Project Type: Software projects need different tracking than ML projects, which differ from infrastructure projects. Customize accordingly.
Always Keep It Proportional: Small 2-week projects need simpler infrastructure than 6-month projects. Scale complexity to project size.
Always Use Domain Terminology: Use industry-standard terms for the project domain (e.g., "epochs" for ML, "deployments" for infrastructure, "sprints" for agile).
Always Validate JSON: Use bash jq or similar to validate execution_state.json before delivering.
Always Think Long-Term: This infrastructure will be used for weeks or months. Make it robust, clear, and maintainable.
