What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of shipping code that drifts from your project's core priorities and invariants, which can cause technical debt, misaligned features, and costly rework by providing a structured, evidence-based review process for all changes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- North Star Scorecard: Generates a 1-5 score for each applicable project priority (north star) with concrete evidence from the changed code, so you can quantify how well a change aligns with your top goals.
- Tenet Violation Detection: Identifies all breaks of your project's design and engineering tenets, classifying each as a hard violation (blocking, requires immediate fix) or partial-incomplete (trackable to backlog) to prioritize remediation.
- Flexible Use Cases: Use it for phase exit reviews, mid-build sanity checks during development, or ad-hoc validation of any change against your project's principles.
- Example Use Case: Before merging a feature that modifies user data handling, run this Skill to confirm it doesn't violate your "user privacy" tenet and scores well on your top north star of "data protection".
Quick Start
Use the tenet-check skill to review the latest commit diff against your project's north stars and design tenets to get an evidence-backed scorecard and list of any violations.
