Use this page when you want short prompts that turn Make concepts into active review judgment instead of command memorization.

Graph truth

• Which edge explains this rebuild honestly?
• What would prove convergence here instead of only one successful run?
• Which change would make this build lie even if it still "works" once?

Public contract and artifacts

• Which target is truly public, and which one are you only assuming is public?
• Which output is a build result, which is proof evidence, and which is only controlled example material?
• What would another maintainer inspect first before trusting this build?

Incidents and stewardship

• Which command gives the cheapest clarifying evidence for this incident?
• Which failure class would you suspect first if serial works and -j breaks?
• Which architectural layer would you inspect before approving the next non-trivial change?

Public target prompts

• Which target should another reviewer trust first without reading recipes?
• What does selftest prove that all does not?
• Which output is meant to be consumed directly and which is only review evidence?
