What problem does it solve? TinySocs is a solo-founder SIEM project with a hard deadline and a history of costly mistakes — stale license claims, silently broken CI, recurring PowerShell encoding bugs, and scope creep away from the content-as-a-service pivot. This Skill acts as the mandatory front door for any change, ensuring every edit to detection rules, public claims, licensing, or the installer passes the right review gate before it lands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pivot-Alignment Filter: A three-question decision procedure that rejects work not serving the 7 roadmap gaps, fixing an active blocker, or addressing a non-negotiable violation. - Change-Class Gate Table: Maps five change classes (detection behavior, public claims, schema/licensing/tiers, installer/trust path, rule migration) to their required evidence and owning sibling skills. - Non-Negotiables with Incident History: Codifies hard rules earned from real incidents — BSL-1.1 licensing discipline, dual-engine honesty, CI-green verification, ASCII-only PowerShell, and no committed plan documents. - CLAUDE.md Stale-Facts Protocol: A verified table of known-stale CLAUDE.md claims with file:line citations of ground truth, plus a 10-item pre-merge checklist. - Use Case: Before enabling detection rule TS-135 and updating the one-pager to say "20 rules", load this Skill to discover you need an Atomic Red Team test, an xUnit firing/silent pair, and a banned-numbers check on the public claim. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to load the tinysocs-change-control skill and review whether your planned change to a detection rule, doc, or installer file passes the pivot filter and which gates apply.
