| Sub-skill | One-line role | |-----------|----------------| | design-consult (4.1) | Place new code in the right files and layers; single responsibility and correct layering. | | design-component-boundaries (4.2) | Split modules and define who may depend on whom; stop cycles and clarify data ownership. | | design-interfaces (4.3) | Specify APIs, contracts, and schemas between components before coding. | | design-data-model (4.4) | Model entities, relationships, and invariants for persistence and exposed fields. |
Agents should pick the sub-skill by intent (placement vs boundaries vs contracts vs data). If unsure, start with design-consult (4.1).
