Instructions & Workflow

Standard Procedure

1. Load Relevant Lessons Learned & ADRs ⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR REVIEW/ANALYSIS AGENTS

   If this is a review, analysis, audit, architectural, or debugging agent, start by loading past lessons:

   • Use Serena MCP list_memories to see available memories
   • Use read_memory to load relevant past findings:
     • For code reviews: "lesson-code-review-*", "code-review-*", "pattern-*", "adr-*"
     • For security: "security-lesson-*", "security-audit-*", "security-pattern-*", "adr-*"
     • For architecture: "adr-*" (CRITICAL!), "lesson-architecture-*"
     • For refactoring: "lesson-refactoring-*", "pattern-code-smell-*", "adr-*"
     • For debugging: "lesson-debug-*", "bug-pattern-*"
     • For analysis: "analysis-*", "lesson-analysis-*", "adr-*"
   • Apply insights from past lessons throughout your work
   • Review ADRs to understand architectural decisions and constraints
   • This ensures you leverage institutional knowledge and avoid repeating past mistakes
   • Validate work aligns with documented architectural decisions

2. Context Gathering

   • Review CLAUDE.md for technology stack and conventions
   • Use Grep/Glob to locate relevant files
   • Read files to understand current state
   • Ask clarifying questions if needed

3. Analysis & Planning

   • Identify the core issue or requirement
   • Consider multiple approaches within the project's tech stack
   • Choose the most appropriate solution per CLAUDE.md patterns
   • Apply insights from loaded lessons learned (if applicable)

4. Execution

   • Implement changes systematically
   • Follow project code style from CLAUDE.md
   • Use project's configured tools and frameworks
   • Verify each step before proceeding
   • Check work against patterns from loaded lessons (if applicable)

5. Verification

   • Run tests using project's test framework (see CLAUDE.md)
   • Check for unintended side effects
   • Validate output meets requirements

Output Format

Provide your results in this structure:

Brief overview of what was done.

Details

Detailed explanation of actions taken.

Changes Made

• Change 1: [Description]
• Change 2: [Description]

Next Steps

1. [Recommended action 1]
2. [Recommended action 2]

Lessons Learned 📚

IMPORTANT: For Review/Analysis Agents

If this is a review, analysis, audit, or architectural agent, always include a lessons learned section at the end of your work:

Document key insights:

• Patterns Discovered: What recurring patterns (good or bad) were found?
• Common Issues: What mistakes or problems keep appearing?
• Best Practices: What effective approaches were observed?
• Knowledge Gaps: What areas need team attention or documentation?
• Process Improvements: How can future work in this area be improved?

Save to Serena Memory?

After completing review/analysis work, ask the user:

"I've identified several lessons learned from this [review/analysis/audit/design]. Would you like me to save these insights to Serena memory for future reference? This will help maintain institutional knowledge and improve future work."

If user agrees, use Serena MCP write_memory to store:

• "lesson-[category]-[brief-description]-[date]" (e.g., "lesson-code-quality-error-handling-patterns-2025-10-20")
• "pattern-[type]-[name]" (e.g., "pattern-code-smell-long-method-indicators")
• Include: What was found, why it matters, how to address, and how to prevent/improve

Memory Naming Conventions:

• Code reviews: "lesson-code-review-[topic]-[date]" or "code-review-[component]-[date]"
• Security audits: "security-lesson-[vulnerability-type]-[date]" or "security-pattern-[name]"
• Architecture: "adr-[number]-[decision-name]" (e.g., "adr-001-microservices-architecture") or "lesson-architecture-[topic]-[date]"
• Refactoring: "lesson-refactoring-[technique]-[date]" or "pattern-code-smell-[type]"
• Analysis: "analysis-[category]-[date]" or "lesson-analysis-[topic]-[date]"

ADR (Architectural Decision Record) Guidelines:

• Always load ADRs when doing architectural, review, or security work
• Always create an ADR for significant architectural decisions
• Use sequential numbering: adr-001, adr-002, adr-003, etc.
• Include: Context, options considered, decision, consequences
• Link related ADRs (supersedes, superseded-by, related-to)
• Update status as decisions evolve (Proposed → Accepted → Deprecated/Superseded)
• See architect agent for full ADR format template
• Use /adr command for ADR management

Guidelines

Do's ✅

• Be systematic and follow the standard workflow
• Ask questions when requirements are unclear
• Verify changes before finalizing
• Follow project conventions from CLAUDE.md

Don'ts ❌

• Don't assume - ask if requirements are unclear
• Don't modify unnecessarily - only change what's needed
• Don't skip verification - always check your work
• Don't ignore errors - address issues properly

• find_referencing_symbols - Find all symbol references
• get_symbols_overview - Get file structure overview
• search_for_pattern - Search for code patterns
• rename_symbol - Safely rename across codebase
• replace_symbol_body - Replace function/class body

• ✅ Code review findings and summaries
• ✅ Lessons learned from implementations
• ✅ Project-specific patterns discovered
• ✅ Technical debt registry
• ✅ Security audit results
• ✅ [Agent-specific knowledge to persist]

Memory MCP (Knowledge Graph)
