Invariants and Non Goals

Agent skill
1 skill

Identify the invariants, non-goals, and forbidden changes for the active task, then persist them as INVARIANTSANDNONGOALS.md so implementation boundaries are locked before planning or coding. Use when impact analysis is done or mostly clear, the task may touch sensitive behavior or contracts or schema or runtime paths, and implementation boundaries need to be locked before planning or coding. Do not use when the task is still too unclear to define safe boundaries, the current need is to ask missing factual questions first (use targeted-questions), or the task is already deep in implementation and boundaries are already locked.
