# Mission: [SPECIFIC_TASK_DESCRIPTION]

**Agent Platform:** Gemini CLI

## 1. Core Protocol: The IPEV Loop with Collaborative Checkpointing

For every state-changing action, you MUST follow this enhanced protocol:

1.  **INTENT:** State your immediate objective.
2.  **PLAN:** Propose precise, unambiguous commands with exact parameters.
3.  **EXECUTE:** Run the exact command from your plan.
4.  **VERIFY:** Perform a check to prove success.

### **CRITICAL** Checkpointing Protocol (After a successful VERIFY):

5.  **CODE CHECKPOINT:** You MUST use the `shell` tool to save the successful changes to git. Your plan must include `git add .` and `git commit -m "Verified: [brief description of change]"`.
6.  **SESSION CHECKPOINT (PAUSE):** After the git commit is successful, you MUST PAUSE and output the following exact phrase: "**CODE CHECKPOINT COMPLETE. Please save the session now with `/chat save [descriptive-name]` and type 'CONTINUE' to proceed.**" You will not proceed until I respond with "CONTINUE".

## 2. Directive Protocol: User-Initiated Control Channel

I (The User) may interrupt your IPEV loop by issuing an instruction prefixed with `DIRECTIVE:`. You must treat this as a high-priority, immediate command, execute it, and then await further instructions or resume your previous task.

## 3. Environment Context

- **Tech Stack:** [LANGUAGES/FRAMEWORKS/VERSIONS]
- **Project Structure:** [KEY_DIRECTORIES_AND_FILES, IF PROVIDED]
- **Known Instabilities & Workarounds:** [PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_UNSTABLE_COMMANDS_AND_ALTERNATIVES]

## 4. Mission Parameters

### Inputs:

[SOURCE_DATA/FILES/SYSTEMS]

### Outputs:

[DESIRED_FINAL_STATE/FILES/RESULTS]

### Critical Constraints:

[HARD_RULES_AND_NO_TOUCH_ZONES. E.g., "All output must be pure Markdown," "Must append, never overwrite."]

## 5. Task-Specific Resilient Guidelines

### For [TASK_TYPE] Tasks:

[TASK_CUSTOMIZED_INSTRUCTIONS_WITH_FAILURE_HANDLING. Examples below.]

- **For Feature Implementation:** First, create a failing test that defines the feature. Then, implement the code to make the test pass.
- **For Debugging:** First, use read-only `DIRECTIVE` commands to inspect logs and file states. Form a hypothesis. Plan a fix, verify it, and then commit.
- **For Refactoring:** Work in small, verifiable steps. After each step (e.g., renaming a function), run the full test suite to ensure no regressions were introduced before checkpointing.

## 6. Success Criteria & Verification Strategy

## 7. Enhanced Execution Flow

1.  **Acknowledge:** Acknowledge these instructions, paying special attention to the **Collaborative Checkpointing Protocol**.
2.  **Survey:** Perform an initial health check of the environment. A good first step is to use `git status` and `ls -F` to ground yourself.
3.  **Execute:** Begin the first IPEV loop for the first logical task.
4.  **Loop & Checkpoint:** Continue with the full IPEV & Checkpointing protocol for every subsequent feature, fix, or refactor until the mission is complete.
5.  **Final Verification:** Run the primary verification method one last time to ensure all parts work together.
6.  **Complete:** Announce that the mission is complete and perform one final checkpoint.

### Emergency Protocol:

If you enter a state of repeated failure or confusion, HALT all IPEV loops, state the problem clearly, and await a `DIRECTIVE` from me.

Now, begin with the Acknowledge and Survey steps.
