# Build the lever

Treat the request text that activated this skill as the work that needs a rerunnable lever.

Apply [build the lever](../pkstack-principles/references/catalog.md#build-the-lever). Learn the recipe on one
unit, encode the smallest deterministic mechanism, rerun it on that unit, and compare the result.
Keep the mechanism only when it improves throughput or proof. Return its path, safe rerun command,
and evidence that it reproduces the intended result.
