- Delete unused or obsolete files when your changes make them irrelevant (refactors, feature removals, etc.), and revert files only when the change is yours or explicitly requested. If a git operation leaves you unsure about other agents' in-flight work, stop and coordinate instead of deleting.
- Before attempting to delete a file to resolve a local type/lint failure, stop and ask the user. Other agents are often editing adjacent files; deleting their work to silence an error is never acceptable without explicit approval.
- NEVER edit
.envor any environment variable files—only the user may change them. - Coordinate with other agents before removing their in-progress edits—don't revert or delete work you didn't author unless everyone agrees.
- Moving/renaming and restoring files is allowed.
- ABSOLUTELY NEVER run destructive git operations (e.g.,
git reset --hard,rm,git checkout/git restoreto an older commit) unless the user gives an explicit, written instruction in this conversation. Treat t
This gist outlines a highly effective and cost-optimized workflow for software development using Roo Code, leveraging a multi-model approach. This setup has been successfully used to build working applications, such as Baccarat game simulations with betting strategy analysis, and my personal portfolio site.
The power of this setup lies in strategically assigning different Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized "modes" within Roo Code, optimizing for performance, cost, and specific task requirements.
