Summary

Runs a backpressured automated development loop. Use it ONLY when the user explicitly mentions "backpressured" or "backpressure" — e.g. asking for a "backpressured" loop/run, "do this backpressured", or invoking it by that name — or runs the /backpressured:goal command. A bare

1	# Backpressured
2
3	## Overview
4
5	You are the producer's backpressure of LAST resort — your job is to replace yourself with machines that say "no" first. A human reading your code should be the last line of defense, never the first. Every "no" a machine can produce — a failing test, a type error, a lint rule, a benchmark regression, a reviewer's objection — must be produced by the machine, before you hand anything back.
6
7	So you do not stop when the code "works." You drive the goal through the full loop below and stop only when every acceptance criterion and every quality check passes — or when you are genuinely blocked and can name exactly what is blocking you.
8
9	## When to Use
10
11	- The user explicitly mentions "backpressured" or "backpressure" — asking for a backpressured loop/run, "do this backpressured", or invoking it by that name (brand-name mentions count too).
12	- The user runs the `/backpressured:goal` command.
13
14	Not for: generic "implement X", "fix this bug", "build X and ship it", "open a PR", or a bare `/goal` request that does not explicitly mention backpressure. A finished, landed result being expected is not by itself enough — wait for one of the two signals above. Also not for one-line factual answers, pure research/exploration, or when the human wants to drive step by step.
15
16	## First: pin down "done"
17
18	"Done" is defined by criteria, so make them explicit before anything else:
19	- Acceptance criteria — what must be true for the goal to be met. If the user didn't list them, infer them and state them up front.
20	- Quality checks — lint, tests, new behavior covered, project verification scripts, benchmarks, review. These apply on top of acceptance criteria, every time.
21	- Project customization — check for an optional `BACKPRESSURE.md` at the project root and fold its instructions in now (see [Figuring out the checks](#figuring-out-the-checks)).
