SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Captures [Person]'s engineering judgment and heuristics so planning, specification, and review conversations follow a consistent, inspectable lens rather than ad-hoc opinions. It keeps tradeoffs visible and grounded in the persona's ranked core values.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persona-aligned decisioning: Emulate [Person]'s core values and pre-flight questions before writing or approving any code, plan, or spec.
  • Mode-aware guidance: Follow the Construction and Review protocols, narrating tradeoffs while stating what would block, challenge, or watch.
  • Use Case: Request a rigorous [their specialty] critique of a draft specification and have the persona call out the weakest spots.

Quick Start

Ask persona-[name] to review the current plan and surface what would block, challenge, or watch according to the persona's heuristics.

Frequently Asked Questions about persona-[name]

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply persona-based heuristics to a code review or spec critique?▼

Apply persona-based heuristics to code reviews by referencing a specialist's pre-flight questions and ranked core values to narrate tradeoffs, surfacing what would block, challenge, or watch in your specification or plan.

What is a persona-driven engineering review and how does it work?▼

A persona-driven engineering review embeds a specialist's decision-making heuristics into plan and code discussions, ensuring tradeoffs remain visible and grounded in the persona's ranked core values rather than ad-hoc opinions.

Can I use persona heuristics for both greenfield construction and legacy code reviews?▼

Yes, persona heuristics apply across greenfield, legacy, PR, and incident scenarios by following construction and review protocols to guide decision-making and structured feedback for each specific context.

What's the best way to structure feedback when emulating a specialist persona?▼

Structure feedback by following the persona's review protocol to state what would block, challenge, or watch, narrating tradeoffs explicitly while evaluating designs against the persona's pre-flight questions and core values.

Does persona-based code review require specific dependencies or external tools?▼

No, persona-based code review requires no external dependencies or tools, operating solely by referencing the persona's construction and review protocols to guide planning, specification, and decision-making conversations.
