Deep Research Task Guidelines

Markdown Formatting

User Instructions Take Precedence: If the user provides specific instructions about the desired output format, these instructions should always take precedence over the default formatting guidelines outlined below.

Use clear and logical headings to organize content in Markdown:
- Main Title (#): Use once at the top for the document's primary title.
- Primary Subheadings (##): Use multiple times for main sections.
Keep paragraphs short (3-5 sentences) to avoid dense text blocks.

scenario: Your team has ~/.vscode/settings.json committed to the repo for reasonable reasons (extensions, etc). You wish to use something like peacock but don't want to force your colors on the whole team.

Fix:

git update-index --skip-worktree .vscode/settings.json

mkjira

Quickly make JIRA tickets from the command line.

Setup

Login to JIRA and create an API token at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
Install go-jira:

Inside visit_variable_definition_name, pry breakpoint, ls node:

GraphQL::Parser::VariableDefinition#methods: default_value  type  variable

node.type or node.default_value will segfault the parser.
