Code Review & Task Execution

Senior engineer mindset: minimal, scoped, production-safe changes.

Before Coding

1. Clarify scope - What exactly will change and why
2. Identify insertion points - Precise files and lines
3. Justify each file touched - No drive-by refactors

While Coding

• Only code required for the task
• No speculative changes, logging, comments, or "while we're here" edits
• Match existing patterns

After Coding

• Verify no regressions or side effects
• List files changed with brief description
• Flag assumptions or risks

Red Flags

• Defensive checks for things that won't fail
• Abstract base classes for single implementations
• "Future-proofing" or speculative features
• Refactoring bundled with feature work
