What problem does it solve? Engineering agents often start tasks without a defined process, leading to wrong assumptions, skipped verification, scope creep, and overcomplicated code. This meta-skill provides a discovery layer that maps any incoming task to the correct phase-specific workflow skill and enforces core operating behaviors across all of them. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Discovery Tree: A decision flowchart routes tasks by development phase (define, plan, build, verify, review, ship) to one of 23 specialized skills such as spec-driven-development, test-driven-development, or debugging-and-error-recovery. - Core Operating Behaviors: Six non-negotiable rules apply across all skills: surface assumptions, manage confusion actively, push back when warranted, enforce simplicity, maintain scope discipline, and verify with evidence. - Lifecycle Sequencing: Defines the canonical skill order for a full feature (interview-me through shipping-and-launch) and minimal sequences for smaller tasks like bug fixes. - Use Case: A user asks an agent to fix a broken API endpoint. The meta-skill routes the task to debugging-and-error-recovery, then test-driven-development, then code-review-and-quality, ensuring reproduction, a failing test, and review before completion. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to determine which engineering skill applies to your current task and follow that skill's workflow from start to verification.
