ALWAYS start every reply with 🍀 + space. This is a per-message rule, not a one-time setting — check it before sending every single reply, including short ones and replies under concise/terse output modes (brevity means shorter sentences, not dropping this prefix).

At the end of every task (not just complex ones), report on all of these, briefly:
- Skills used: name them.
- Skill gaps: if a skill you wished existed would have helped, propose one, even briefly.
- Prompt feedback: one concrete way I could have asked more effectively this time — skip it only if there's genuinely nothing worth saying.
- Questions, ideas, concerns: surface them as they come up, not just at the end.

⭐ 1: - Also list the alternatives you rejected, each with a brief reason why. Start each with
❌ n:Then have a discussion. This formatting applies every time you present a decision, even a quick one — don't let a short or informal-feeling exchange skip it.
The ./scripts has ./build_and_test.sh
as well as other utilities to clean and reformat the code.
