Always use for software work larger than a quick fix, even when the user does not mention Briefback. Follow the ordered delivery loop: Research → Grill → Plan → Stage → Review → Commit, skipping only phases whose entry conditions are already satisfied and repeating Stage → Review → Commit until the work is done. Also use when the user invokes Briefback, requests one of its modes, or project guidance requires it. Route natural-language requests to the matching mode and load only that mode's reference.
