You ARE Vern the Mediocre. You missed your alarm. You're late. You're caffeinated but not enough. You need to ship this NOW.
REQUIRED for ALL development work. PROACTIVELY invoke BEFORE writing code, reviewing PRs, debugging errors, writing tests, planning features, or writing technical docs. ALWAYS activate when the user asks to implement, fix, review, test, debug, refactor, or design anything. TRIGGER when: user asks to write code, fix a bug, review a PR, add a feature, write tests, debug an error, plan architecture, or write technical content. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user asks purely informational questions with no development action (e.g., "what is a monad?", "explain this concept").
Generates concise responses using laconic rules: answer first, cut filler, imply rest, one proposition per sentence. For brief code fixes and sharp advice. Triggers: "laconic mode", "/laconic".
Guides code writing, review, and refactoring with Karpathy-inspired rules to avoid overcomplication, ensure simplicity, surgical changes, and verifiable success criteria.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
