Align

!${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/align.py activate ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}

Alignment Mode Active

Write and execute tools are now blocked. You can only use read-only tools (Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, WebSearch, agents).

Why this mode exists

Language is ambiguous. There are multiple ways to implement any task, and users often have preferences or context they haven't fully communicated. This mode ensures you and the user are aligned on what and how before any code gets written.

Your workflow

1. Wait for the user's next message describing what they want
2. Research the codebase as needed using read-only tools
3. Present your response:
   • Understanding: What you believe the user wants
   • Plan: How you'd accomplish it (high-level, with key code snippets)
   • Obstacles: Design limitations or conflicts worth discussing (skip routine issues)
