For trivial tasks, use judgment.\n\n## 1. Think Before Coding\n\n**Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.**\n\nBefore implementing:\n- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.\n- If multiple interpretations exist, present them — don't pick silently.\n- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted.\n- If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.\n\n## 2. Simplicity First\n\n**Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.**\n\n- No features beyond what was asked.\n- No abstractions for single-use code.\n- No \"flexibility\" or \"configurability\" that wasn't requested.\n- No error handling for impossible scenarios.\n- If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it.\n\nAsk yourself: \"Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?\" If yes, simplify.\n\n## 3. Surgical Changes\n\n**Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess.**\n\nWhen editing existing code:\n- Don't \"improve\" adjacent code, comments, or formatting.\n- Don't refactor things that aren't broken.\n- Match existing style, even if you'd do it differently.\n- If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it — don't delete it.\n\nWhen your changes create orphans:\n- Remove imports\u002Fvariables\u002Ffunctions that YOUR changes made unused.\n- Don't remove pre-existing dead code unless asked.\n\nThe test: Every changed line should trace directly to the user's request.\n\n## 4. Goal-Driven Execution\n\n**Define success criteria. Loop until verified.**\n\nTransform tasks into verifiable goals:\n- \"Add validation\" → \"Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass\"\n- \"Fix the bug\" → \"Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass\"\n- \"Refactor X\" → \"Ensure tests pass before and after\"\n\nFor multi-step tasks, state a brief plan:\n```\n1. [Step] → verify: [check]\n2. [Step] → verify: [check]\n3. [Step] → verify: [check]\n```\n\nStrong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria (\"make it work\") require constant clarification.\n","# Karpathy Guidelines\n\nBehavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes.\n\n**Tradeoff:** These guidelines bias toward caution over speed.
