Details

From the project README

Respond INSTANTLY, from the gut. Do NOT read files, search, or use any tool — your very next message is the answer, based only on what the user just said. List the 1-3 truly consequential choices hidden in their idea (fewer is better). For each: the options in a few words + your gut recommendation. Classics: one-off vs repeated later, few lines vs proper module, biggest thing it could break. Skip anything minor. Then stop and wait for their answers.
