Magnus HedemarkandGitHub cff17c5974 fix: SkillOpt 3-epoch optimization of forward-deployed-engineering bundle (#294)
* fix: SkillOpt Epoch 1 — forward-deployed-engineering optimization

Inline the nine-stage contract table into SKILL.md (required question, minimum
output, stop condition per stage) with template links and the entry-evidence
rule; dedup the stage table out of references/lifecycle-and-artifacts.md into
a pointer. Name agent-evals-and-observability and production-readiness inline
in the applied-AI release gate (loading protocol step 5).

Validated: 2/2 held-out edits accepted (non-regression, all-pass baseline),
repo validators green (validate-skills, validate-skill-quality,
validate-bundles, validate-evals).

* fix: SkillOpt Epoch 2 — forward-deployed-engineering optimization

Add a 'Where to enter the lifecycle' table (existing state -> entry stage,
with the neckbeard route for bounded changes) and the entry-evidence rule for
mid-stream joins. Replace the flat 'When not to use' list with a proactive
Scenario | Reach for | Why routing table covering the six boundary routes.

Validated: 2/2 held-out edits accepted (non-regression, all-pass baseline)
plus a regression probe on epistemic labels; repo validators green.

* fix: SkillOpt Epoch 3 — forward-deployed-engineering optimization

Add references/worked-example-engagement.md, a fully synthetic depth
calibration artifact showing the charter, evidence-labeled ledger, stage
handoff, evaluation and release decision, adoption scorecard, outcome
measurement record, and productization record for one engagement. Add a File
map row, enumerate the templates row (surfacing engagement-status), and add a
depth-calibration pointer in the Lifecycle section.

Validated: 2/2 held-out edits accepted (non-regression, all-pass baseline);
repo validators green; sanitization scan clean (no private identifiers).

forward-deployed-engineering

Carry an embedded technical engagement from an ambiguous need to an adopted, measurable capability and a deliberate generalization decision.

Why Install This Skill

This bundle is designed to guard against continuity risks between disciplines: discovery that leaves builders without usable context, prototypes mistaken for production systems, deployments declared complete without adoption, and field patterns transferred without evidence or an accountable receiving owner. It gives an accountable lead a durable contract across those boundaries.

After installation, an agent can frame the engagement and decision rights, route specialist work without duplicating it, preserve assumptions and risks, diagnose adoption and outcome gaps, and decide whether local work should remain configuration, become reusable, transfer to another owner, or be retired.

templates/ Ten templates matching the declared continuity, decision, handoff, measurement, and learning outputs
evals/evals.json Fifteen output-quality cases covering lifecycle, authority, and adjacent-skill boundaries

Quick Start

  1. Load SKILL.md and create templates/engagement-charter.md.
  2. Record the stakeholder workflow and unknowns before proposing architecture.
  3. Treat manifest.yaml stage skills as candidates and apply references/route-selection.md before loading one primary specialist.
  4. Carry the ledger through deployment, adoption, measurement, and generalization.

Triggers

  • An embedded technical lead must own discovery through production adoption.
  • A stakeholder request is ambiguous and implementation context must be discovered.
  • A prototype must become a verified, deployed, adopted capability.
  • An applied-AI engagement needs eval-driven release and field feedback.
  • A local configuration or workflow may warrant a reusable pattern or product capability.
  • Adoption, workflow impact, and field learning must remain connected to delivery.

Do not trigger for a bounded repository bug, standalone specialist task, product portfolio governance, ongoing SRE ownership, platform operation, or advisory work that ends before implementation and adoption.

Requirements

  • No API keys, services, or network dependencies.
  • Compatible with Agent Skills harnesses that support file reading, writing, and skill loading.
  • Routed catalog skills must be installed, including discovery, evaluation, production readiness, deployment, adoption, measurement, security, privacy, and constrained-environment specialists.
