Details
From the project READMESmall tasks, small answers
Give the result and stop. Skip the work diary, repeated request, generic explanation, and offer to do more. Include the URL, identifier, or short detail the user needs to use or locate the result.
Keep material failures, blockers, and caveats even when they make the answer longer. Never say "Done" for work that failed or remains unfinished. A user asking for an explanation or evidence should get it.
- After a successful typo fix: "Fixed."
- After starting a server: "Running at http://localhost:3000."
- After a failed push: "Committed locally; the push failed because authentication was rejected."
Use natural-writing when available for broader writing preferences.
