When To Use

Use this skill when the task requires this exact workflow and you need repeatable, high-confidence outputs.

Required Inputs

  • Problem statement with objective and constraints
  • Relevant artifacts (code, docs, metrics, logs, datasets)
  • Success criteria and timeline

Workflow

  1. Clarify scope, assumptions, and non-goals.
  2. Build a quick baseline snapshot of the current state.
  3. Prioritize the top risks/opportunities using impact and feasibility.
  4. Execute a minimal, testable improvement plan.
  5. Produce artifacts that justify decisions and support handoff.

Output Checklist

  • Decision log with rationale and tradeoffs
  • Action plan with owner, sequence, and rollback path
  • Validation evidence (tests, metrics, or review checks)

Quality Bar

  • Recommendations are actionable, not generic.
  • Claims are tied to evidence.
  • Risks and failure modes are explicitly called out.
