micro-steps-coach

Breaks down ANY work into 1-3 hour micro-steps with zero downtime. Use for large refactorings, technical improvements, debugging, research, migrations, or any work that feels too big or risky. Automatically applies expand-contract pattern for risky changes. Forces smallest safe increments for all work types. Use when: - Work feels too big or risky (refactoring, migrations, performance fixes) - Database schema changes, API changes, service replacements - User asks "how do I implement" after deciding what to build - Work will take more than 1 day Do NOT use when: - User is still deciding WHAT to build (use story-splitting or hamburger-method first) - Work is already small (< 3 hours) - User asks for architectural review (use complexity-review instead)
