What problem does it solve? Teams build automations and AI agents on fragmented data and sprawling tool stacks, producing confident outputs built on partial context. This Skill fixes the shape of a system before anyone builds it, so nothing lands on a moving foundation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Schema and write-path design: Names every entity, its fields, lifecycle states, and enforces exactly one canonical write path per entity. - Work triage: Routes every unit of work to a deterministic automation, an extraction step, an AI agent, or a human decision using the Written Rule Test, with a blast-radius override for irreversible actions. - Tool consolidation and migration planning: Marks every existing tool absorb, keep, or kill with a cited proof path, then chooses a full, hybrid, or cutover-date migration path and sequences the build into command-gated phases. - Use Case: A team with 22 tools and a spreadsheet that actually runs the business asks what to cut; the Skill requires a proof path per tool, flags the spreadsheet as a competing writer, and returns a phased architecture plan. ## Quick Start Use the suede-ops-architecture skill to design the architecture for our intake automation before we build anything.
