SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill validates limits.md before or after the human writes it. It enforces five structural invariants: final rung is <user-switched session>, rungs are non-duplicate, soft ≤ hard per state, at least 3 rungs, and the executor rung (rung 1) is never an escalation target. It shows corrections as a proposal and does not write without explicit human confirmation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Invariant checks: verifies all five invariants across limits.md and surfaces any violations.
  • Proposal-based corrections: returns corrected sections as a suggested update rather than automatic writes.
  • Trigger mechanisms: responds to "check limits", "validate limits", or "update limits" commands to run validation.

Quick Start

Ask me to check limits to validate structure and review any proposed corrections before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions about update-limits

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate limits.md structure and enforce invariants?

To validate limits.md structure, trigger the skill with commands like 'check limits' or 'validate limits'. It enforces five invariants and returns proposed corrections without writing unless explicitly confirmed.

What invariants should a limits.md configuration file enforce?

A limits.md file should enforce five invariants: the final rung is a user-switched session, rungs are non-duplicate, soft limits are less than or equal to hard limits per state, there are at least three rungs, and the executor rung is never an escalation target.

Can I automatically apply corrections when validating limits.md?

You cannot automatically apply corrections when validating limits.md. The skill operates on a proposal-based system, returning corrected sections as suggested updates that require explicit human confirmation before any writes occur.

How do I check limits.md for duplicate rungs and escalation errors?

To check limits.md for duplicate rungs and escalation errors, request a validation check. The skill identifies structural violations, including duplicate rungs and improper escalation targets, then suggests corrections for your review.

When should I run a limits.md validation check?

You should run a limits.md validation check during edits to the file, on post-install checks, or whenever you manually request 'check limits', 'validate limits', or 'update limits' to ensure structural integrity.
