name	skills-web-dev
description	Top-level router for the Chwezi Core Systems web-development and software-engineering skills engine. Use for AI systems, SaaS, architecture, APIs, databases, security, frontend engineering, mobile, DevOps, reliability, product engineering, SDLC documentation, catalog maintenance, delivery evidence packs, routing fixtures, and world-class engineering quality gates.

Skills Web Dev Router

This is the entrypoint for the skills-web-dev engine. It routes engineering work to the smallest accurate active skill, applies quality gates, and records evidence so outputs can be reviewed by a team that did not write them.

Standard implemented: Skills Web Dev July 2026 upgrade baseline. Last verified: 2026-07-08.

Non-negotiable foundation

Always apply these before domain work:

1. skills/sdlc-meta/anti-ai-slop/SKILL.md while producing any artifact.

2. skills/sdlc-meta/ai-slop-audit/SKILL.md after each major iteration and at release.

3. templates/delivery-dod/evidence-pack.md for implementation, architecture, security, data, DevOps, AI, SaaS, mobile, or documentation deliverables.

4. docs/source-registers/ai-platforms.md when work depends on current AI, Apple, cloud, security, or framework facts.

5. skills/sdlc-meta/kaizen-improvement-system/SKILL.md for every engine audit, product audit, book-driven improvement, and post-iteration learning cycle. Published audits are capped at 65/100; improvement plans target 95/100 and require evidence.

When a task requires external research, use the Digital Research Engine at C:\wamp64\www\digital-research-skills, beginning with its source-evaluation and source-verification skills.

Running example

Use docs/world-class-exemplars/running-example.md: a Chwezi Core Systems multi-tenant field-service SaaS called FieldOps Ledger. The same example threads through architecture, API, database, identity, security, reliability, deployment, and evidence-pack artifacts.

Release workflow

1. Read the selected domain SKILL.md.
2. Load only the domain references, templates, and examples that the skill points to.
3. If current facts are needed, check the appropriate source register and invoke Digital Research Skills Engine verification.
4. Produce the artifact and evidence pack together.
5. Run python -X utf8 scripts\skill_catalog_guardrails.py --report-only after routing or catalog changes.
6. Run python -X utf8 scripts\routing_smoke_test.py --report-only after routing fixtures or frontmatter changes.
7. Ship only when the evidence pack, anti-slop gate, and relevant domain validation pass.

Stop conditions

Stop and ask or research further when the request lacks a decision/audience, requires current platform/legal/statutory facts that have not been verified, asks for fabricated evidence, changes active-skill count without a routing reason, or would delete/move skill directories contrary to AGENTS.md.
