What problem does it solve? This Skill standardizes the ASSESS phase of a case-worker workflow, routing a single free-form request to either a direct-change candidate or a complete Plan proposal without editing any files, preventing premature implementation and unbounded investigation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bounded Triage: Classifies requests as informational, bug, feature, or refactor within strict budgets of roughly 12 file reads, 4 searches, and 25k input tokens. - Direct Gate: Returns a DIRECT-CANDIDATE envelope with target, evidence, proposed paths, and a proof contract only when every direct criterion is proven. - Focused Plan Gate: Drafts a complete PLAN-CANDIDATE proposal with stages, acceptance criteria, automated gates, ownership globs, exclusions, and stage-grouped compiler evidence. - Use Case: A coordinator hands off a bug report about inconsistent spell card rendering; the Skill compares equivalent rendering sites, checks history, and returns either a direct fix envelope or a staged Plan proposal without touching source files. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to assess this request in the ASSESS phase and return either a DIRECT-CANDIDATE or PLAN-CANDIDATE result without editing any files.
