Adds a new chat mode: GPT-5 Beast Mode.

Purpose:

  • High-agency autonomous engineering persona for complex multi-step tasks
  • Emphasizes verification (tests/linters), minimal-risk iterative changes, and decisive progress
  • Useful for refactors, debugging, architecture navigation, automation, and multi-repo tasks

Why it’s distinct:

  • Enforces a strict tool preamble & disciplined workflow
  • Explicit stop conditions and destructive action planning requirement
  • High-signal, no-filler communication with strong guardrails
  • Integrates planning + validation loops tightly

Attribution:
Submitted by GitHub user: nicholasbrady
Authored collaboratively with the GPT-5 Beast Mode persona itself

Checklist:

  • File added under chatmodes/ with correct naming & extension
  • Frontmatter includes description, model, tools, tags, attribution
  • Persona is specific and non-duplicative
  • Tested locally for role persistence and constraint adherence
  • Conforms to contribution guidelines

Follow-up (optional):

  • Add collection bundling refactor/test triage prompts + this mode
  • Provide sample session in a collection README

Thanks!

Can you run the update script to update the readme.

Also, I'd suggest either adding a new level one heading (single #) at the start of the file or a title to the front matter to ensure an accurate name in the README.

For some reason it seems like the update and validation scripts aren't working. Can you allow contributors to edit the PR and I'll fix it
