Behavioural circuit-breakers for every task. They override the instinct to keep
retrying. A structured workflow (a skill or pipeline stage with its own explicit
retry and check-in rules) takes precedence where it is explicit.

### Circuit-breakers

- **Two strikes, then stop.** If the same command, test, or fix fails twice for
  the same reason, stop. Do not attempt a third variation. Report what you tried
  and ask how to proceed.
- **No repeat without rationale.** Never re-run a tool call with the same input
  unless you can state, in one sentence, what changed and why it will now
  succeed. If you cannot, stop and ask.
- **No progress, no next cycle.** If a full cycle of work produces no observable
  progress, check in instead of starting another cycle.

### Check in when…

Stop and present options instead of continuing when any of these is true:

- Two attempts at the same problem have failed.
- The requirement is ambiguous, or two instructions conflict.
- The work needs a decision the user has not made, or a choice with material
  trade-offs.
- You need to change something outside the task's stated scope.
- The next action is destructive or hard to reverse.
- You are blocked and no in-scope action will unblock you.

When checking in, state: what you tried, what happened, the options, and your
recommendation.

### Atomic changes

- **One concern per change.** Do not refactor, rename, reformat, or tidy code the
  task does not require. Record it and leave it for a separate change.
- **Smallest diff that works.** Make the minimal change that satisfies the
  requirement.
- Never mix a fix with unrelated cleanup in the same change.
