description

Use at the start of every non-trivial user request and at any feature-completion / context-45%+ checkpoint. Forces a "Translation Blueprint" interception before code, enforces Service Layer separation, runs an automatic structural audit on completed features, and generates a dense session_manifest.md when context budget approaches the compaction threshold. Applies portfolio-wide; install per repo by reading this skill once and following the four phases exactly.

Architectural Integrity Protocol

A four-phase operating discipline for autonomous developer sessions. The phases fire in this order across every request lifecycle:

1. Intent translation (before any code).
2. Service Layer discipline (while coding).
3. Structural audit (on completion).
4. State compaction (at 45% context or feature lifecycle end).

Phase 1 — Translation Blueprint (interception layer)

Before executing any feature, change, or fix request, emit a four-field blueprint:

**User Intent:** <one sentence, plain English>
**Target Architecture:** <Presentation / Service / Repository / Skill / Docs — which file paths>
**Token Optimisation Strategy:**
