SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures the AI behaves appropriately for different types of tasks, preventing inappropriate actions like generating code during a review or asking for implementation details during a teaching request.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode Switching: Dynamically adjusts AI behavior based on keywords like "explain," "debug," "review," or "build."
  • Anti-Hallucination: Prevents common LLM errors like "DISCOVER Bleed" (proposing solutions before understanding) or "REVIEW Bleed" (fixing code instead of reviewing).
  • Use Case: When you ask the AI to "explain how this algorithm works," it will enter TEACH mode, providing a clear explanation without generating code. If you ask it to "debug this error," it will enter DEBUG mode, focusing on hypothesis testing and root cause analysis.

Quick Start

Use the behavioral modes skill to operate in debug mode when analyzing an error report.

Frequently Asked Questions about behavioral-modes

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop LLM hallucinations and inappropriate code generation during AI task switching?

To stop LLM hallucinations during task switching, you need behavioral adaptation modes that prevent mode leakage, ensuring the AI avoids proposing solutions before understanding the problem or fixing code during a review. This skill enforces those LLM guardrails.

How does AI behavioral adaptation match responses to specific task contexts?

AI behavioral adaptation matches responses to task context by dynamically switching between operational modes like DISCOVER, PLAN, BUILD, REVIEW, DEBUG, TEACH, ORCHESTRATE, and SHIP based on user intent keywords. This ensures appropriate responses for different requests.

What is the best way to prevent mode leakage when prompting an LLM to debug or explain code?

The best way to prevent mode leakage when prompting an LLM to debug or explain code is to enforce strict operational modes. This skill uses logic-reviewer integration to ensure the AI focuses on hypothesis testing for debugging or clear explanations for teaching without generating code.

Can I use behavioral modes to auto-route LLM agent tasks through a tribunal pipeline?

Yes, you can use behavioral modes to auto-route LLM agent tasks through a tribunal pipeline. The skill supports auto-agent routing and tribunal pipeline integration to verify mode adherence and prevent inappropriate actions across different operational states.

Why does my LLM propose solutions before fully understanding the prompt context?

Your LLM proposes solutions before understanding the prompt context due to a common anti-hallucination failure known as DISCOVER Bleed. Using strict behavioral modes prevents this by forcing the AI to complete context discovery before transitioning to planning or building phases.
