No Cutting Corners

Agent skill
1 skill

Enforces five non-negotiable quality pillars that counter the shortcuts an agent takes under training pressure: complete reporting (show ALL items, never filter unilaterally), verification (no claim of works/done/exists without a tool-call receipt in the same turn), thoroughness (every acceptance criterion individually verified; docs ship with the change), enrichment ('improve' means add capability, never trim), and anti-shortcut (exhaust deterministic lookup before guessing; findings demand action, not just filing). Use when reviewing any enumerated output for completeness, when an agent claims something works without evidence, when marking a task done, when asked to 'improve' or 'clean up' anything, or when findings are filed without being acted on. Do NOT use for the deep explanatory model of WHY completeness fails or the step-level execution mechanics (use methodical), for the cross-domain quality-standards catalog like OWASP/WCAG/SOLID (use best-practice), for scoring whether a result is good enough (use evaluation), or for compression after a complete enumeration exists (use summarization).
