Use when
Trigger signals that make this skill the right owner
- minimal correct implementation current need deletion reuse standard library native behavior installed dependency direct local code
- wrapper interface registry dependency file configuration branch speculative variant scaffold future flexibility
- deliberate shortcut ceiling owner replacement trigger shrink behavior preservation
Do not use when
Anti-triggers — as binding as the triggers above
- requirements and owner boundaries already select one structure with no unresolved existence or minimality decision
- the open question is placement pattern package policy public contract clarity or performance rather than whether structure is needed
Required inputs
What must be supplied before this skill can decide anything
- current acceptance non-goals and reachable consumers
- existing repository standard native installed-dependency and direct-code candidates
- owner safety validation recovery and deletion boundaries affected by the smaller choice
Output contract
What this skill owes the next role
- minimality decision with retained or removed structure candidate comparison current force rejected nearer alternatives behavior-preservation proof specialist routes evidence limits and residual risk
Escalation signals
When this skill must hand the decision back
- A smaller implementation can silently remove authorization integrity compatibility accessibility observability recovery or incident evidence
Loaded by
This skill never owns a task. These professionals may pull it in as Layer 3.
Targeted references
Each reference carries its own load condition. None of them enter context by default.
