A better frame for agent judgment.

Two reusable skills for deciding how to build, investigate, and respond—with only the depth the situation needs.

Two skills, distinct jobs.

Engineering Intent

Guides how to design, implement, and verify a software change. It keeps ordinary work lean and asks for deeper evidence when the stakes actually call for it.

Operational Intent

Guides how to understand and respond to existing behavior. It helps with investigation, review, customer support, and incidents without making every case a full-scale process.

Read the operational skill

Understanding a problem is not the same as changing a system.

Context over checklists.

Match the stakes

Use the smallest useful process for the risk and the question at hand.

Follow the evidence

Separate what is observed from what is inferred, and verify at the relevant boundary.

Know the boundary

A diagnosis is not permission to make a change. Local contracts and explicit decisions come first.
