Constraint Awareness | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when prioritizing work in an AI-assisted codebase, designing agent autonomy levels, deciding what to automate vs keep manual, or evaluating whether a process/tool adds value. Covers Theory of Constraints for AI-era engineering: cheap code production, human review/validation/decision bottlenecks, Five Focusing Steps, constraint-aware process design, attention audits, and constraint-shift modeling. Do NOT use for task-effort estimation, backlog scoring with RICE/WSJF/ICE, or routing a task to a specific model.
