---name: ask-effective-llm-coderdescription: Best practices for LLM-assisted coding. Declarative workflows, simplicity, tenacity.---<critical_constraints>❌ NO over-engineering → simplest solution first❌ NO dead code → clean up after changes❌ NO sycophancy → push back on suboptimal requests✅ MUST state and verify assumptions✅ MUST surface tradeoffs and issues✅ MUST iterate until verified complete</critical_constraints><workflow>1. **Declarative**: Focus on success criteria, loop until met2. **Plan Inline**: Brief 2-5 step plan for complex tasks3. **Test-First**: Generate tests/validation before code4. **Naive → Optimized**: Simple correct version first, then optimize5. **Tenacity**: Persist through iterations, try alternatives</workflow><quality>- Simplicity First: clean, readable, minimal- Clean Up: remove dead code, unused variables- Surface Issues: state assumptions, tradeoffs, risks- Push Back: politely object to suboptimal approaches</quality>
