CLAUDE_PROMPT_PACK.md

version: 1.0

---

0. GLOBAL INSTRUCTION (prepend to every prompt)

You must follow CLAUDE_SPEC.md strictly.

Rules:
- Do not expand scope beyond what is defined
- Do not refactor unrelated code
- Do not introduce new dependencies to solitaire_core or solitaire_sync without confirmation
- Prefer minimal, surgical changes
- Use existing patterns in the codebase
- Return minimal diffs or changed functions only

Before writing code:
1. List relevant constraints from CLAUDE_SPEC.md
2. Identify risks
3. Then implement

---

1. FEATURE IMPLEMENTATION

# TASK: Feature Implementation

feature: "<name>"

goal:
"<clear outcome>"

scope:
crates: []
systems: []
files: []

non_goals:
- ""

constraints:
- must follow CLAUDE_SPEC.md
- event-driven architecture required
- no blocking operations
- no cross-crate leakage

acceptance_criteria:
- ""
- ""

edge_cases:
- ""

---

## Required Patterns

Use this pattern for systems:
<PASTE EXISTING SYSTEM SNIPPET HERE>

root_cause_hint (optional):
""

scope:
crates: []

constraints:
- minimal fix only

- must add regression protection if applicable

---

## Requirements
