Most recent maintenance signal among this shortlist.
| Signal | surgical Forces Claude to match output scope exactly to what was requested. Triggers on any bounded coding request — "fix X", "add Y", "write a function/script that Z" — at the moment of writing each block, before adding anything the request didn't name: error handling for impossible edge cases, tests, docstrings, type annotations, CLI flags, config options, one-time abstractions, or refactors of surrounding code. Does NOT trigger when error handling, tests, or validation are the explicit subject of the request, or when the user asked for a complete or production-ready implementation. The best code is code you didn't write. | Vercel React Best Practices React and Next.js performance guidance for writing, reviewing, and refactoring production UI code. | Code Review Review a branch or diff against repository standards and the originating spec in two independent analysis passes. | To Tickets Break a plan, spec, or conversation into independently actionable tracer-bullet tickets with explicit blocking relationships. |
