Atlas Sync
Restore project context after clear/new session by following the canonical sync command doc.
Verifying
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing - before committing or creating PRs. Requires running verification commands and confirming output before any success claims.
Creating Pr
Creates pull requests with quality descriptions. Use when asked to create a PR, open a pull request, or ship code for review. Requires test verification before PR creation.
Atlas Execute
