genesis

Use this skill BEFORE drafting any agentic primitive module (skill, persona scoping file, scope-attached rule file, orchestrator workflow) or when refactoring an existing one. Activate whenever the task asks to design, restructure, or critique an agentic module across any agent harness (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex), or when the task asks to make a workflow cost-effective, route model calls by capability, design for cache discipline, prune token spend, or pick a model class. This skill drives an 8-step disciplined design process whose output is mermaid diagrams + an interface sketch + a persisted plan (including a cost projection) that the calling thread (or a coder persona it loads) then turns into natural-language modules. Do not skip to natural-language drafting before the design artifacts exist.

Use this skill to run the genesis maintainer-side eval suite against a target model (default: claude-opus-4.7). Activate when validating a genesis PR, when changing the genesis catalogue (architectural-patterns, primitives, design-patterns, refactor-patterns, composition-substrate, pattern-tradeoffs, SKILL.md), or when the operator asks to "run evals" or "regenerate the eval matrix". This skill orchestrates parallel cold sub-agent spawns via the harness's task tool, scores deterministically, and converges P>=0.8 / N>=0.8 / R==1.0 within max 3 iteration loops. This skill is contributor-only -- it lives under dev/skills/ (OUTSIDE .apm/) and is NOT shipped inside the user-facing skills/genesis/ bundle (BUNDLE LEAKAGE discipline). See "Why this lives outside .apm/" below.
