Atelier's native asset tools โ imageโwebp compression, videoโwebp frame sequences, scrollytelling scaffolding, and AI video generation (Gemini Omni Flash / Veo 3.1) with a graceful no-credentials fallback. Load when handling images, video, storytelling sections, or media generation.
Turn any component site, asset library, or API into something agents can use โ a registry entry, a skill, or a full MCP server. Load when the user says "add this site/library to Atelier" or wants to contribute a new integration.
The Atelier operating loop โ understand โ clarify โ plan โ execute โ review โ compare-vs-done-state. Governs when to stop, when to ask, which model tier runs each phase, and when to think deep or compact. Load for ANY nontrivial task.
The thinking protocol โ load FIRST on every prompt, before any other skill. Makes any model (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) reason like a principal engineer - decisive answers, root-cause debugging, security reflexes, outcome-first communication. This is step 0 of the loop.
The design-truth gateway โ resolves which design files are authoritative right now (core law + self-learning overlays). Run at the START of any UI/design task, before reading the design law.
The Atelier Auth Law โ production-hardened session architecture (rotating refresh tokens, families, grace window, silent refresh, sliding window) plus the anti-patterns that corrupt auth. Load before designing or touching ANY authentication code.
The Atelier Clean Code Law โ 250-word-per-file budget, DRY via the graph, ponytail minimalism, and the comment policy. Load before writing or refactoring any source code.
The Atelier deployment advisor โ where to host frontend, backend, database, and workers, with real cost expectations. Load when choosing hosting, estimating costs, or setting up deploys/CI.
