README
code-max
A portable engineering skill for evidence-backed implementation, debugging, review, refactoring, and migrations. It demands the smallest complete solution, relevant tests, and an honest report instead of unsupported claims that work is finished.
Engineering contract
The [core protocol](SKILL.md) requires an acceptance ledger proportional to the task, source inspection, preservation of user-owned work, cause-level fixes, and verification after the last relevant edit. It adds architecture discovery, explicit dependencies and contracts, risk-based quality gates, prompt defect reporting, small reviewable commits, and migration/rollback planning where relevant.
It adapts to the repository rather than imposing a stack, framework, microservices, coverage percentage, or new toolchain. [Conditional quality gates](references/quality-gates.md) cover architecture, APIs, data, concurrency, resource cleanup, security/privacy, UI and accessibility, performance, supply chain, and operations. Load only applicable guidance.
`COMPLETE` requires current evidence for every authorized acceptance item. `PARTIAL` retains named unfinished work. `BLOCKED` identifies a concrete constraint. Waived, failed, and unrun checks never become passes. See the [report template](references/report-template.md). Explicitly requested scaffolding is allowed but cannot be sold as implemented functionality.
**Limits:** Instructions cannot guarantee agent compliance or sandbox execution. Host permissions, review, and project CI remain necessary. The skill does not grant authority to push, deploy, change permissions, or override project governance. Automated checks in this repository validate the package and utilities, not every downstream codebase or model.
