# Anti-Patterns
## Anti-Patterns
**Do not:**
- List results source by source ("From ~~chat: ... From ~~email: ... From ~~cloud storage: ...")
- Include irrelevant results just because they matched a keyword
- Bury the answer under methodology explanation
- Present conflicting info without flagging the conflict
- Omit source attribution
- Present uncertain information with the same confidence as well-supported facts
- Summarize so aggressively that useful detail is lost
**Do:**
- Lead with the answer
- Group by topic, not by source
- Flag confidence levels when appropriate
- Surface conflicts explicitly
- Attribute all claims to sources
- Offer to go deeper when result sets are largeRelated Skills
domain-knowledge-sweep
Systematic multi-source research of an engineering domain. Spawns parent issue → 6 research subissues (Standards, Academic, Industry, LinkedIn-marketing, Code-audit, Synthesis) → gap implementation subissues. Replaces LinkedIn-only extraction with defensible comprehensive sourcing.
public-knowledge-graph-governance
Maintain public-safe knowledge graph artifacts for llm-wiki and similar markdown knowledge bases. Use when changing graph generators, validators, schema docs, weekly freshness checks, or public/private source-scope boundaries.
workspace-knowledge-doc-contracts
Class-level workspace knowledge, LLM-wiki, repo mission contracts, stale doc references, semantic taxonomy, and knowledge-source reconnaissance.
taxact-browser-automation-patterns
Patterns for automating TaxAct Business online (Ionic SPA) via Chrome browser MCP tools — field interaction, navigation, shadow DOM handling
orcawave-orcaflex-semantic-proof-wave-closeout
Close out an OrcaWave/OrcaFlex semantic-proof wave after a PR merges, split unrelated CI blockers, and seed the next semantic-proof issue wave without duplicating existing issues.
iterative-plan-redraft-semantic-guardrails
Harden a repeatedly re-reviewed documentation/contract plan after adversarial reviewers keep finding semantic gaps despite new test rows.
gguf-quantization
GGUF format and llama.cpp quantization for efficient CPU/GPU inference. Use when deploying models on consumer hardware, Apple Silicon, or when needing flexible quantization from 2-8 bit without GPU requirements.
shell-script-hardening-patterns
Harden Bash automation scripts with TDD-first static and behavioral checks, safe Python invocation via uv, locking, persistent state, and review-driven correction loops.
semantic-taxonomy-reporting-consistency
Keep semantic-diff taxonomy summaries consistent with evidence tables when adding richer categories to legacy comparison/reporting pipelines.
knowledge-pipeline
Workflow for maintaining workspace-hub knowledge and learning pipelines across scripts/knowledge, scripts/learning, and docs/superpowers, including indexing, archive synthesis, issue updates, and pipeline troubleshooting.
semantic-search-setup
Setup vector embeddings and semantic search for document collections. Use for AI-powered similarity search, finding related documents, and preparing knowledge bases for RAG systems.
knowledge-base-builder
Build searchable knowledge bases from document collections (PDFs, Word, text files). Use for creating technical libraries, standards repositories, research databases, or any large document collection requiring full-text search.
