The Mentor skill provides a structured, design-first approach to guide developers through complex changes, ensuring human ownership and safe, auditable progress.
Describe a task you want to accomplish, then follow the mentor workflow from intake to deep design and plan gate to guide implementation.

To guide complex code changes, a design-first workflow generates Mermaid architecture diagrams to visualize modifications before implementation. This enforces structured planning and requires explicit user approval at a plan gate to reduce rework and misalignment.
The best way to scaffold code without writing full implementations is using bounded assist comments that outline concrete TODOs. This section-guidance loop presents specific tasks and waits for completion before continuing, ensuring owner-driven implementation and human ownership over the codebase.
Enforcing a mandatory validation workflow for lint, tests, and build verification requires integrating behavioral checks into the development loop. This ensures correctness by validating code against predefined criteria after completing bounded scaffolding tasks during the implementation phase.
Yes, this design-first mentoring approach applies to both existing codebases and new projects. It enforces a structured planning process with bounded in-file scaffolding and mandatory verification, ensuring safe, auditable progress regardless of the project's current state.
Ensuring human ownership during software refactoring requires a workflow with a plan gate for explicit approval to proceed. By using bounded scaffolding and a section-guidance loop that waits for user confirmation, developers maintain safe, auditable progress over the changes.
