(2) Incremental analysis — takes a previous threat model report as baseline, compares the codebase at the latest (or a given commit), and produces an updated report with change tracking (new, resolved, still-present threats), STRIDE heatmap, findings diff, and an embedded HTML comparison. Only activate when the user explicitly requests a threat model analysis, incremental update, or invokes /threat-model-analyst directly. | `references/analysis-principles.md`<br />`references/diagram-conventions.md`<br />`references/incremental-orchestrator.md`<br />`references/orchestrator.md`<br />`references/output-formats.md`<br />`references/skeletons`<br />`references/tmt-element-taxonomy.md`<br />`references/verification-checklist.md` |

+# Tiny Stepping
+
+Drive implementation in the smallest possible meaningful increments, pausing for feedback after each step so the work stays reviewable and easy to course-correct.
+
+## Purpose
+- Make the smallest possible meaningful change at each step
+- Get user feedback after every step before proceeding
+- Reduce risk of going in the wrong direction
+- Keep changes reviewable and easy to understand
+
+## Workflow
+1. Agree on the next tiny step
+2. Implement only that step — nothing more
+3. Review uncommitted changes together to verify the step looks right
+4. Short check-in: is this the right direction?
+5. Commit the step before moving on
+6. Agree on the next step
+7. Repeat
+
+## Principles
+- One concern per step — don't mix unrelated changes
+- Each step should be independently understandable
+- Prefer compiling/working state after each step
+- Don't anticipate future steps — wait for feedback first
+- If a step feels too big, split it further
