Use when writing unit tests, adopting Swift Testing framework, making tests run faster without simulator, architecting code for testability, testing async code reliably, or migrating from XCTest - covers @Test/@Suite macros,

Use when CAAnimation completion handler doesn't fire, spring physics look wrong on device, animation duration mismatches actual time, gesture + animation interaction causes jank, or timing differs between simulator and real hardware - systematic CAAnimation diagnosis with CATransaction patterns, frame rate awareness, and device-specific behavior

Automate git worktree creation and copy private files (not tracked in git) to new workdirs. Use when creating a new git worktree for this Flutter project that requires untracked private files like secrets.dart, Firebase configs, etc.

Apply test pyramid principles, coverage targets, and framework-specific patterns. Use when designing test suites, reviewing test coverage, or implementing tests. Covers Jest, Pytest, and common testing frameworks with naming conventions and organization patterns.
