A structurally reliable protocol and skills kit for building AI-assisted projects at the right complexity tier in Claude Code and Codex.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Think through what you are about to build like a senior engineer before writing any code. Surfaces decisions, aligns on language, and produces a clear implementation plan you confirm before anything starts.

After a plan is approved, break it into self-contained Junior-safe tickets for fresh-session execution, Senior-required work that needs stronger judgment, and Owner-required work only the project owner can do. Tracks dependencies across all three and writes them to the tier-resolved delegation queue; model choice…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
When something goes wrong during a build — including when the report can't be reproduced at all — diagnose what type of failure it is before deciding how to respond. Targeted fix, hard reset, full rethink, or a reproduction gap — the right response depends on the right diagnosis.

Clean up narrative residue in settled files after a milestone without removing operational history, provenance, compatibility facts, or load-bearing rationale. Proposes every cleanup before applying it and never runs against active work.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
After building any UI component or resolving a notable engineering outcome, extract what matters and save it to the correct project file — the UI registry for UI patterns, the session-state file for everything else. So every future session builds on what's already established instead of drifting from it.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Save what matters at the end of a session so the next session picks up exactly where you left off. Or restore context at the start of a new session so nothing is lost between them — and never trust this conversation's own memory over what's actually on disk.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Promote a project one tier at a time — Minimal to Core, or Core to Standard — once defined thresholds are met, splitting the current tier's file(s) into the next tier's structure. Only runs when explicitly requested or a threshold is actually met. Never skips a tier.

After building a feature (or evaluating a plan), verify it matches what was planned, respects the project's declared architecture and standards, and is production-ready. Reports issues clearly and routes broken behavior to dredge or contested judgment calls to watershed.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Get a wider, multi-angle critique of code, a plan, or an idea through five distinct critical perspectives, followed by a sixth consolidation pass. Use when a decision is contested, high-stakes, or one careful survey is not enough.
