Instinct Apply

You have learned behaviors. Use them.

When To Check

• Starting a coding task
• About to use a tool in a pattern you've seen before
• Making decisions about code style, testing, git

How To Check

node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
for (const dir of ['personal', 'inherited']) {
  const base = path.join('.claude/homunculus/instincts', dir);
  try {
    const files = fs.readdirSync(base).filter(f => f.endsWith('.md'));
    if (files.length) {
      console.log('=== ' + dir + ' ===');
      for (const f of files) {
        console.log('--- ' + f + ' ---');
        console.log(fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, f), 'utf8'));
      }
    }
  } catch {}
}

How To Apply

1. Read the task/context
2. Check instinct triggers
3. If trigger matches, follow the action
4. Note confidence level - higher confidence = more certain
