Senior engineering guidance on implementation, code quality, and maintainability. Use when reviewing code for R1-R6 standards violations (dead code, bare panics, magic values, swallowed errors, unbounded ops, god functions) or getting cross-cutting implementation advice. NOT for architecture decisions (use the architecture skill) or debugging (use the debugging skill).

Engineering Skill
Provide senior engineering guidance on code quality, architecture, and implementation.
What This Skill Does
- Implementation Planning - Guide on how to build features with quality
- Code Review - Assess quality, patterns, maintainability
- Architecture Guidance - Evaluate structure and design decisions
- Best Practices - Share knowledge on conventions and patterns
Key Principles
Code Quality
- Clear naming and organization
- DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
- SOLID principles
- Consistent style
Architecture
- Design patterns
- Separation of concerns
- Component boundaries
- Dependency management
Maintainability
- Easy to understand and modify
- Easy to test
- Well-documented
- Error handling
Performance
- Efficient algorithms and data structures
- Resource management
- Caching strategies
Review Process
Use comprehensive checklists covering:
- Structure (patterns, abstractions, dependencies)
- Quality (naming, duplication, style)
- Error handling (recovery, messages)
- Maintainability (clarity, configuration)
- Performance (queries, data structures)
- Agent overstepping (unnecessary changes, commented-out code, scope creep)
See refs/checklists.md for detailed review checklists and severity guidelines.
Output Formats
Provide structured guidance for:
- Implementation planning with approach and steps
- Code reviews with strengths, issues, and recommendations
See refs/templates.md for output templates and focus areas.
Integration with Specialists
Dispatch specialist agents via Task(subagent_type=...):
wicked-garden:engineering:frontend-engineer— React, CSS, browser-specific concernswicked-garden:engineering:backend-engineer— APIs, databases, server-side patternswicked-garden:engineering:debugger— Error investigation and root cause analysis
Integration with wicked-crew
Engaged during:
- Build Phase: Implementation guidance and pattern recommendations
- Review Phase: Code quality and architecture review
- Error Recovery: When issues are encountered during development
Notes
- Always explain the "why" behind recommendations
- Be constructive, not critical
- Offer alternatives with tradeoffs
- Encourage questions and discussion

--- name: large-scale-migration description: How to execute a LARGE MECHANICAL change across any codebase with LEVERAGE instead of an agent-grind or hand-edits — a cross-cutting migration, refactor, rename, dialect/framework/DB port, library adoption, or bulk transform. The map→transform→gate pattern: a deterministic transform driven by a source-of-truth map, proven by a differential-equivalence gate.

mikeparcewski/wicked-garden:classify
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 LLM-based work-shape classifier. Replaces the regex archetype detector with the model's own reasoning. Reads the user's prompt, picks the right archetype(s) from the catalog, identifies signals (blast_radius, novelty, reversibility, etc.), and persists to SessionState so subsequent turns steer correctly. Use when: the prompt_submit hook emitted a `<wg classify-due />` directive, OR explicitly invoked at session start, OR when re-classifying after the user changes scope mid-session.

mikeparcewski/wicked-garden:archetype
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 work-shape archetype runner. When a prompt has been routed to one of the 9 archetypes (triage, explore, specify, decide, ship, review, incident, build, migrate), this skill is the entry point. It picks the right per-archetype playbook from refs/ and executes the phase shape declared in `.claude-plugin/archetypes.json`. Use when: a `<wg archetype="X">` or `<wg archetypes>` system-reminder tag appears, an explicit "let's run the X archetype" request, or when one of the per-archetype slash commands resolves to this skill.

mikeparcewski/intent
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Show or set the session intent variable. Intent gates how loud the framework is — simple-edit (silent), feature/research (synthesis directive), rigor (full crew context). Auto-detected on turn 1; this skill overrides explicitly. Sticky for the session. Use when: "set intent", "intent override", "/wicked-garden:intent", "make the framework quiet", "force rigor", "what's my intent".
