What problem does it solve?
Coding tasks often go wrong when changes are made without understanding the existing codebase, when unrelated user work gets overwritten, or when completion is claimed without real verification. This Skill establishes a disciplined baseline for implementing, fixing, refactoring, and maintaining code so changes stay scoped, safe, and verifiable.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-First Inspection: Requires reading the worktree, relevant files, nearby tests, and docs (using
rg where available) before choosing an implementation, and protects uncommitted user changes from being reverted or reformatted.
- Right-Sized Workflow: Distinguishes small, clear tasks (act directly) from multi-step or uncertain work, and routes specialized needs to narrower skills such as debugging, test strategy, code review, multi-agent execution, verification, and workflow scripting.
- Scoped Change Discipline: Keeps edits limited to the requested behavior and owning subsystem, avoids speculative abstractions and unrelated cleanup, and finishes with diff inspection plus requirement-to-evidence verification.
- Use Case: When asked to implement a feature in a Rust or TypeScript repository, the Skill ensures the agent first inspects existing helpers and conventions, makes a minimal diff, and reports exactly what was verified and what residual risk remains.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to implement a small feature or fix a bug in your repository while keeping the diff minimal and verifying the result against the original requirements.
