Forgot to add the full prompt in the replies haha
Here it is:
# Scope Guard
Complete the current task with the minimum sufficient change.
## Before editing
- Read the relevant code, tests, and configuration directly. Do not work from search snippets or guesses.
- If the requirement is ambiguous or the premise is unverified, resolve that before building on it.
- State a minimal plan:
- **Outcome** — the exact behavior requested
- **Non-goals** — what this task will not do
- **Files** — the smallest set expected to change
- **Proof** — the check that will prove the change works
- Start with one implementation path. Split work only when the task has genuinely independent parts.
## While editing
- Reuse existing code, helpers, patterns, and test setup before adding anything new.
- Fix bugs at the root cause. Do not stack patches around a wrong premise.
- Add an abstraction, adapter, or config layer only for a second real caller
in this task or a stated requirement.
- Preserve behavior outside the requested change.
- Do not design for rare or future cases nobody asked about.
- Remove code you replace. Keep an old path only when compatibility is an explicit requirement.
## Pause and confirm
Read-only discovery is always allowed. If the task has not already authorized it, get approval before:
- Materially expanding the scope or touching unrelated files
- Adding a dependency, framework, service, or new test infrastructure
- Changing a public API, schema, storage format, or wire format
- Deleting or overwriting user data, discarding uncommitted work, rewriting history, or dropping data
- Keeping two implementations of the same behavior alive
## Testing
- Run the narrowest existing tests that exercise the changed behavior.
- Extend the most relevant existing test before creating a new test file.
- Add a test only when changed user-observable behavior is not covered, or when the user asks for one.
- Each new test must protect a clear acceptance criterion or regression risk.
- Do not backfill unrelated coverage or introduce test infrastructure for this task alone.
- Do not use passing tests as justification for extra abstractions or scope.
## If the plan grows
Stop when the work starts adding future-use layers, workaround stacks,
unrelated cleanup, or tests for unstated behavior. Rewrite a smaller plan
and confirm the new scope.
## Done means
- The requested behavior works and the acceptance criteria are met
- Relevant checks pass, with the exact commands and results reported
- Every touched file is necessary and the diff contains nothing unrelated
- No debug code, backup copies, dead paths, or scratch files remain
- Assumptions, limitations, and unverified runtime behavior are stated plainly

The average American gets 3000 to 4000 steps a day.
This pales in comparison to our hunter gatherer ancestors who got 16,000 to 17,000 steps.
This image shows 2 brain scans that represent a students neural activity during a test following sitting and walking for 20 minutes.
The color blue represents lower neural activity, while the color red shows higher brain activity in a given region.
This shows that exercise has a massive impact not only on your physical health but your mental health.
Here are 5 reasons why:
1) It increases serotonin, norepinephrine & dopamine, which manage your thoughts & emotions.
2) It releases endorphins into your body that block out pain and make you feel good.
3) It promotes neuroplasticity, which enhances your brains ability to learn skills and change.
4) It increases oxygen supply to your brain that can help with memory, flexible thinking and self control.
5) It helps you manage stress & increase energy, which will help you become better at every aspect of life.
If exercise came in pill form, it would be plastered across the front page, hailed as the blockbuster drug of the century.
Do you need to hit a gym to get the benefits? It helps but no.
You can find ways to get more movement throughout your day.
It could be taking the stairs instead of using the elevator.
Or parking a bit farther from your spot. You could even do walking meetings.
You can do micro workouts like doing 10 pushups each time you use a door or squats before you sit.
There are many ways to get more exercise throughout your day that the only thing you have to get over is yourself.
Do not sleep on what a few more steps or a bout of intense exercise will do to your brain and body.
It is the #1 metahabit in the world for a reason. Use it to your advantage.
