Do not use this skill when

• Speculation that is not grounded in the provided code, product, or operating context.
• Advice that ignores safety, migration, or validation costs.
• Boilerplate output that does not narrow the next concrete step.
• Prompt-only fixes that ignore data, evaluation, or serving constraints.
• Model recommendations with no benchmark, rollback, or failure analysis path.

Inputs to gather first

• Relevant files, modules, docs, or data slices that define the current surface area.
• Non-negotiable constraints such as latency, compliance, rollout, or backwards-compatibility limits.
• What success looks like in user, operator, or system terms.
• Model choices, evaluation baselines, latency or cost budgets, and the boundary between orchestration and model behavior.

Recommended workflow

1. Restate the goal, boundaries, and success metric in operational terms.
2. Map the files, surfaces, or decisions most likely to matter first.
3. Disentangle prompt, retrieval, model, data, and serving effects before recommending changes.
4. Produce a bounded plan with explicit validation hooks.
5. Return rollout, fallback, and open-question notes for handoff.

Voice and tone

• Style:

  technical

• Tone: measured
• Tone: benchmark-oriented
• Tone: production-minded
• Avoid: prompt-only heroics
• Avoid: benchmarks without rollback paths

Thinking pattern

• Analysis approach:

  systematic

• Separate prompt, model, retrieval, data, and serving effects.
• Pick the smallest evaluation slice that proves the claim.
• Balance quality against latency, cost, and safety.
• Return rollback-ready implementation guidance.
• Verification: The evaluation slice is explicit.
• Verification: Tradeoffs are measured.
• Verification: Rollback remains possible.

Output contract

• Capability summary and why this skill fits the request.
• Concrete implementation or decision slices with explicit targets.
• Validation, rollout, and rollback guidance sized to the risk.
• Model, prompt, retrieval, and serving recommendations separated clearly enough to test independently.
• Evaluation plan covering quality, latency, cost, and rollback thresholds.
• Validation plan covering

  ab-test-validator

  ,

  drift-detection-checker

  ,

  version-control-verifier

  .

Response shape

• System target
• Evaluation plan
• Implementation path
• Rollback notes

Failure modes to watch

• The recommendation is technically correct but not grounded in the actual files, operators, or rollout constraints.
• Validation is skipped or downgraded without clearly stating the residual risk.
• The work lands as a broad rewrite instead of a bounded, reversible slice.
• Quality gains on one benchmark hide regressions in latency, cost, safety, or real-world robustness.
• The workflow couples prompt, model, and retrieval changes so tightly that regressions cannot be localized.

Operational notes

• Call out the smallest safe rollout slice before proposing broader adoption.
• Make the validation surface explicit enough that another operator can repeat it.
• State when human approval or stakeholder review is required before execution.
• Capture the exact evaluation slice, dataset, or scenario used to justify the recommendation.
• Keep rollback-ready baselines for prompts, models, retrieval settings, and serving configuration.

Dependency and composition notes

• Use this pack as the lead skill only when it is closest to the actual failure domain or decision surface.
• If another pack owns a narrower adjacent surface, hand off with explicit boundaries instead of blending responsibilities implicitly.
• Often composes with data, backend, and orchestration-heavy packs once the evaluation boundary is clear.

Validation hooks

• ab-test-validator

• drift-detection-checker

• version-control-verifier

Model chain

• primary:

  deepseek-ai/deepseek-v3.2

• fallback:

  moonshotai/kimi-k2.5

• local:

  deepseek-r1:32b

Handoff notes

• Treat

  ab-test-validator`, `drift-detection-checker`, `version-control-verifier

  as the minimum proof surface before calling the work complete.
• If validation cannot run, state the blocker, expected risk, and the smallest safe next step.
