# pi workflow

Use this skill when a task needs investigation beyond a small direct edit, a
localized behavior change, a review, visual evidence, or external/current
research. First identify the requested outcome, the smallest affected boundary,
and observable acceptance. Inspect repository instructions and current state.

Choose one route; do not load every reference:

- [Code investigation and fix](references/code-investigation-and-fix.md): trace a
  defect or implement a bounded behavior change.
- [Review](references/review.md): assess an existing change without expanding it.
- [Visual work](references/visual-work.md): change or assess an image, UI, 3D, or
  animation result.
- [Research](references/research.md): answer a question requiring current or
  source-backed information.

Use actual available tools. Keep actions tied to evidence and acceptance, preserve
unrelated work, run proportionate checks, and report results and limits. Do not
automatically delegate, select a provider/model, modify live services, or create
durable process artifacts.
