jacob-balslev Skill MethodicalUse when disciplined, complete, evidence-backed execution matters more than brevity: audits, diagnostic reports, tracked-task creation from findings, acceptance-criteria verification, research briefs, and enumerated outputs future work depends on. Covers why agents fail at completeness (sycophancy, premise adoption, summary-first compression, instruction-density loss, long-horizon attention decay, self-critique echo chambers, reasoning-masked agreement, verification theater, delegation-as-proof) and countermeasures: pre-task scope declaration, count-preserving enumeration, evidence receipts, externally grounded critique, provenance labels, explicit completeness/partial receipts, and runtime enforcement. Do NOT use for shortest-route selection (use task-path-optimization), broad artifact-quality standards (use best-practice), scoring results (use evaluation), compact pre-output enforcement (use no-cutting-corners), or post-enumeration compression (use summarization).
