# Fighter Sword

Cleave the entire row in one decisive pass.

## Overview

Use Fighter Sword when the change must run across an entire line — a full sequential chain, pipeline stage, import row, or dependency thread — and anything short of cleaving the whole row leaves the job incomplete.

This is the secondary Codex compatibility rendering of a metaphorical battle-chip pattern with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical chip family: Fighter Sword
Codex shelf: Direct Fire and Breach
Provider target: Codex compatibility surface.

## When To Use

- A refactor, removal, or edit must span an entire sequential chain or pipeline in one clean pass.
- Partial cuts would leave inconsistencies; the problem extends across the whole row.
- You have surveyed the full length of the target line and can confirm the strike should run edge to edge.

## Workflow

1. Survey the full row — read every file, function, or stage in the target chain from start to end.
2. Execute the cut across the entire line in one coordinated pass.
3. Verify the row is clean end to end and that adjacent rows were not disturbed.

## Deliverables

- A complete row-level refactor, removal, or edit applied uniformly across the full chain.
- A summary confirming the cut ran edge to edge with no partial residues left behind.

## Guardrails

- Do not use Fighter Sword when only a local edit is needed — use Sword instead.
- If you cannot see the full length of the row, close distance and read before swinging.
- A full-row cut is committal; if the row contains mixed concerns, split them before sweeping.

## Default Invocation

Use Fighter Sword to cleave across an entire row: apply one consistent refactor, removal, or edit spanning the full sequential chain in a single pass, then verify the whole line is clean.
