Use when implementing complex multi-step tasks, fixing critical bugs, or when quality and completeness matter more than speed - ensures comprehensive implementation without shortcuts through systematic analysis, implementation, and verification phases
This skill ensures comprehensive, complete implementation of complex tasks without shortcuts. Use this when quality and completeness matter more than speed.
1. **Identify All Issues**
- List every error, warning, and failing test
- Group related issues together
- Prioritize by dependency order
- Create issue hierarchy (what blocks what)
2. **Root Cause Analysis**
- Don't fix symptoms, find root causes
- Trace errors to their source
- Identify patterns in failures
- Document assumptions that were wrong
3. **Create Detailed Plan**
- Break down into atomic steps
- Estimate time for each step
- Identify dependencies between steps
- Plan verification for each step
- Schedule breaks/checkpoints
1. **Fix Issues in Dependency Order**
- Start with foundational issues
- Fix one thing completely before moving on
- Test after each fix
- Document what was changed and why
2. **Verify Each Fix**
- Write/run tests for the specific fix
- Check for side effects
- Verify related functionality still works
- Document test results
3. **Track Progress**
- Mark issues as completed
- Update plan with new discoveries
- Adjust time estimates
- Note any blockers immediately
1. **Run All Tests**
- Unit tests
- Integration tests
- E2E tests
- Manual verification
2. **Cross-Check Everything**
- Review all changed files
- Verify compilation succeeds
- Check for console errors/warnings
- Test edge cases
3. **Documentation**
- Update relevant docs
- Add inline comments for complex fixes
- Document known limitations
- Create issues for future work
```
1. See 24 TypeScript errors
2. Add @ts-ignore to all of them
3. Hope tests pass
4. Move on
```
```
1. List all 24 errors systematically
2. Group by error type (7 missing types, 10 unknown casts, 7 property access)
3. Find root causes:
- Missing @types/tar package
- No type assertions on fetch responses
- Implicit any types in callbacks
4. Fix by category:
- Install @types/tar (fixes 7 errors)
- Add proper type assertions to registry-client.ts (fixes 10 errors)
- Add explicit parameter types (fixes 7 errors)
5. Test after each category
6. Run full test suite
7. Document what was learned
```
