# Integrate the requirement

Treat the request text that activated this skill as the new foundational requirement.

Apply [redesign from first principles](../pkstack-principles/references/catalog.md#redesign-from-first-principles).
Read the full affected boundary, design the shape that would exist if the requirement were original,
and propagate it through types, callers, tests, docs, and examples. Deliver it in verifiable units.
Return the single integrated rule and any removed bolt-on path.
