Core Workflow

Confirm the request matches this skill's trigger, scope, and risk profile.
Use the topic map to identify the relevant pattern, checklist, or example before writing detailed guidance or code.
Load references/full-guidance.md when implementation details, examples, anti-patterns, validation checks, or edge cases are needed.
