Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy APIs

  • Update tests to assert the new contract, and delete tests that only protect pre-refactor implementation details

When this applies:

  • No external users depend on backward compatibility
  • The project can absorb coordinated breaking changes
  • The new API is part of a simplification or refactor initiative

how

backnotprop/pstack

Use for "how does X work", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions ("where should this live", "which package owns this", "is this the right layer"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Use why for motivation.

principle-fix-root-causes

backnotprop/pstack

Apply when debugging. Trace each symptom back to the first place the system went wrong and fix it there. A guard is a fix only when the state it handles is legitimate.

why

backnotprop/pstack

Use for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.

It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
