Use when

Trigger signals that make this skill the right owner

  • design error model codes messages remediation and client behavior

Do not use when

Anti-triggers — as binding as the triggers above

  • no task-local error code design decision is required

Required inputs

What must be supplied before this skill can decide anything

  • current task contract
  • selected primary Professional Skill
  • task-local trigger evidence

Output contract

What this skill owes the next role

  • error contract decision with stable identity, classification, safe detail, retry and remediation meaning, boundary mapping, compatibility, consumer evidence, proof limits, and residual owners

Escalation signals

When this skill must hand the decision back

  • Poor errors hide recoverability and create inconsistent frontend handling

This skill never owns a task. These professionals may pull it in as Layer 3.
