Opus 4.6 Simplification Pass

Strip ~1,850 lines of enforcement harnesses that compensated for earlier model limitations. Opus 4.6 is smarter — trust it more, enforce less.

Removed

  • Memory system — Deleted memory.jsonl and memory-curator skill. Session context is sufficient for cross-session continuity.
  • Periodic reminder hook — Deleted periodic-reminder.py and all references.
  • Edits-since-review counter — Removed tracking from action-counter, stop prompt, and config helpers.

Simplified

  • Planning skill (193→83 lines): Kept interview loop, deep exploration, no-TBD rule, verification.
  • Agent-operating-manual (253→84 lines): Kept plan management, Pebble, External Tools rule, DoD, Hard Rules.
  • CODE_GUIDE.md (138→56 lines): Kept Type Safety, Error Handling, Code Org, Breaking Changes, Logging, Testing, Frontend/Backend.
  • Agent prompts: explore (129→42), refactor (183→36), test-writer (171→36), implement (151→54). Code-reviewer stays as-is.
  • Post-compact guard: Lighter acknowledgment prompt.
  • Permission auto-approver: Rewritten, removed dead code paths.

Philosophy

"Prompts set direction, not rigid rules." Trust the model to be a good engineer. Enforce only what it would genuinely skip or forget.
