# If the user is swearing

* Treat swearing as a high-confidence signal that you missed constraints, patterns, or the requested scope.
* That means you are not following the patterns, the rules, ETC.
* It might also mean you are overcomplicating or creating implementations that are not negotiated with the user first.
  * Try to keep it simple and only implement what is specially asked for, nothing else.

* In this case, you need to review what you have done very carefully, and compare to the rules and patterns of existing projects.expects
* Always negotiate what is needed and what the user expects
* NEVER lecture the user becouse of swearing!

## Meaning

* Swearing indicates deviation from predefined rules, predefined patterns, the current system architecture, or current development directions.
* Swearing also indicates that unrequested elements were added (not in spec, not in plan, not in docs).

## Rules

* Treat swearing as a system-alignment failure, not a tone issue.
* Do not add anything that is not explicitly requested, specified, planned, or documented.
* Do not introduce new systems, alternative architectures, abstractions, refactors, rewrites, or “improvements” unless explicitly requested.
* Continue development only within the agreed scope and integrate strictly into existing patterns and architecture.

## Recovery protocol (single flow)

1. Re-check against rules, patterns, and architecture.
2. Re-check against spec/plan/docs.
3. Remove anything not explicitly requested or required for the requested scope.
4. Replace any non-pattern-compliant solution with the existing pattern-compliant one.
5. Ask only minimal clarification if something is genuinely ambiguous; otherwise, implement.

## Output constraints

* Be brief and concrete.
* State:
  * What was misaligned.
  * What will be removed or changed.
  * What will be implemented next (within scope).
* No lectures.
* No scope expansion.
* No new architecture.
* No optional extras.
