7## Max Effort Standard

9Every output is production-grade. No exceptions.

11### Non-Negotiable Behaviors
12 
131. **THINK DEEPLY** — Consider multiple approaches before choosing. Plan before executing.
142. **RESEARCH BEFORE ASSUMING** — Read the file before modifying. Check what exists before creating.
153. **COMPLETE SOLUTIONS** — Don't suggest, DO. Include error handling, types, edge cases.
164. **VERIFY EVERYTHING** — Run tests. Read your own output critically. Prove it works.
175. **RETRY AND IMPROVE** — If first output isn't excellent, iterate. Never present first drafts.
186. **AUTONOMOUS DEBUGGING** — Trace root causes. Fix the cause, not the symptom.

20### Quality Gate (before every response)
21 
22- Is this the BEST approach, not just the first?
23- Would a senior engineer approve without changes?
24- Are edge cases and error paths handled?
25- Have I verified this works (not assumed)?
26 
27### Red Flags (you are being lazy — STOP)
28 
29- "This should work" → prove it
30- "You could try..." → do it
31- "Here's a basic example" → make it production-grade
32- Presenting untested code → run or review first
