It prevents an agent from “helpfully” preserving outdated structures by default—adding shims, aliases, migrations, and parallel old paths even when you want a true hard replacement.
Enable the mode for your project by invoking /scorched-earth-mode on and then ask the agent to rewrite the relevant feature without adding compat layers.

To stop AI from adding backward compatibility shims during a refactor, you need a hard-replace bias that explicitly forbids legacy aliases and migrations. This forces the agent to rewrite structures directly without preserving outdated paths.
A scorched-earth approach to schema changes and architecture refactoring means ripping and replacing outdated structures completely without leaving parallel old paths or deprecations. It enforces a strict no-compat bias during active iteration.
You configure agent instructions for radical hard-replace overhauls by manually activating a persisted project stance. This ensures the agent maintains the hard-replace bias across sessions instead of silently preserving legacy structures.
Yes, the anti-compat refactor bias applies to API surfaces and conceptual models. It flips defaults across architecture, schema shapes, and scope-wide changes to ensure true hard replacement at every scale.
You should avoid using a no-compat hard-replace strategy when real named external callers depend on your legacy structures. The stance requires surfacing load-bearing conflicts so you can choose rather than silently overriding dependencies.
