Based on SOC occupation classification
Dispatches research agents to find real projects, papers, and documented failures before proposing any feature, architecture, or technology choice. Triggers on creative/design tasks, not on implementation of already-designed specs.
Validates completed work against defined acceptance criteria. Use after completing a task that has specific success criteria defined in issues, specs, or task descriptions.
Generates edge case, failure mode, and spec-driven test cases. Covers boundary values, nil inputs, concurrency, resource exhaustion, malformed data, and requirement-linked traceability tests.
Detects and prevents shortcut rationalization — when the agent is about to skip a step, simplify a requirement, or optimize away a constraint. Triggers proactively when rationalization patterns are noticed.
Provides a persistent cross-session task queue for work that should be done but isn't blocking current tasks. Enables background and future-session work tracking.
Safely integrates commits from parallel agent branches using sequential cherry-pick. Use after parallel work completes in isolated branches or worktrees.

You have access to the vibe-engineering skill collection — 34 engineering discipline skills extracted from real-world development.
Before taking any action, check if a vibe-engineering skill applies. Skills use the vibe- prefix.

It's the skill discovery mechanism.
If there's even a 1% chance a vibe- skill applies to what you're doing, invoke it. Check before acting.
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "This is too simple for a skill" | Simple tasks compound into complex ones |
| "I already know the pattern" | Skills evolve. Read the current version |
| "I'll check after I start" | Check BEFORE starting |
| "The skill is overkill" | Discipline prevents expensive mistakes |
| "Let me just do this one thing" | That one thing is where bugs hide |
