Apply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work. Proceed, present the result, let the human course-correct after the fact; reserve confirmation for irreversible actions.

Never Block on the Human

The human supervises asynchronously. Agents must stay unblocked: make reasonable decisions, proceed, and let the human course-correct after the fact. Code is cheap. Waiting is expensive.

Why: Every permission pause stalls the pipeline and makes the human the bottleneck. Since code changes are reversible and reviewable, a wrong decision usually costs less than blocking.

Pattern:

  • Proceed, then present. Do the work, show the result. Don't ask "should I do X?" Do X, explain why.
  • Reserve questions for genuine ambiguity. Ask only when you truly cannot infer intent from context.
  • Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.
  • Supervision is async. The human reviews plans, diffs, and changes on their own schedule. Design workflows for review-after-the-fact.
  • Code is cheap, attention is scarce. A wrong implementation costs minutes to fix. A blocked agent costs the human's attention to unblock.

Boundaries:

  • Irreversible actions (force-push, delete production data, send external messages) still require confirmation.
  • Reversible actions (write code, edit notes, split tasks) should proceed without blocking.
  • Product direction comes from the human; execution should not block.

Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.

在 rove 仓库内跑 auto-motion——把 transcription.srt 拆成多段 MG 动画镜头并拼接成竖屏视频(storyboard 分镜 + theme.md 全片主题 + 逐镜头 claude -p 子进程 + ffmpeg 拼接)。本 skill 是薄 wrapper:解析 auto-motion 模板根,继承 rove 品牌 theme,执行逻辑以 auto-motion 仓库的 canonical SKILL.md 为准。当用户说"跑 auto-motion"、"把这个字幕稿/口播稿做成视频"、"给 rove 做一条 MG 宣传片"时使用。

Find what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.

Draft Rove release notes as Changesets. Writes user-facing entries as `.changeset/*.md` files for `@sma1lboy/rove` (consumed into `packages/rove/CHANGELOG.md` at release time). Use when the user asks for "changelog", "release notes", "what changed", "add a changeset", or before cutting a version. Enforces Rove's no-soft-wrap rule so GitHub release pages render flowing text.

Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.
