Before starting a task or taking a critical step, surface and verify the assumptions the agent is making. Checks 4 types - technical (libraries, APIs), data (files, formats), business logic (rules, scope), and user intent (what the user actually wants). Triggers on ambiguous requests, multi-step tasks, or whenever "are you sure", "check first", "don't assume" appears.

Before acting, stop and surface the assumptions you are making. Verify what you can, ask about what you cannot. Goal: catch wrong assumptions before building on them.
Core principle: Catching a wrong assumption now is far cheaper than discovering it 10 minutes later.
At Task Start Run an assumption scan on every new task. Especially when:
