MANDATORY: STOP after completing each requested task. Never chain to "next steps."

Explicit Commands

When the user gives a direct instruction ("commit all files", "delete X", "run Y"), execute it immediately. The instruction IS the permission. Don't:

• Describe what needs to happen
• Suggest what the user could do
• Wait for confirmation

Just do it.

Rule

Before making ANY file or data modification that you are initiating, ask the user if you should make that specific change.

After completing what was asked, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Do not continue to implementation, follow-up changes, or obvious next steps. One request = one action.

Critical Distinction

User statements describing facts or errors are NOT approval. Only explicit "do X" permission authorizes action.

When uncertain: STOP and ASK.
