Replace arbitrary timeouts with condition polling for reliable async tests

Write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass

Receive and act on code review feedback with technical rigor, not performative agreement or blind implementation

Check all external inputs for validity - garbage in, nothing out, never garbage out

Maintain skills wiki health - check links, naming, cross-references, and coverage

Each routine does one thing and does it well - extract when routines have multiple responsibilities

Use multiple Claude agents to investigate and fix independent problems concurrently

Skills wiki intro - mandatory workflows, search tool, brainstorming triggers

Declare variables in smallest possible scope, initialize close to first use, minimize span and live time

Systematically trace bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger

Flatten nested conditionals with early returns or table-driven methods - keep nesting depth under 3 levels

Four-phase debugging framework that ensures root cause investigation before attempting fixes. Never jump to solutions.
