Upstream Evaluation Skill
Systematic evaluation of upstream changes using Navigator's design frameworks. This skill focuses purely on decision-making โ what to adopt, skip, or adapt โ not execution.
Does it benefit agents?
โโ NO โ Skip or defer
โโ YES โ Does Navigator have existing concept?
โโ YES โ Extend existing (don't duplicate)
โโ NO โ Add new action
โโ Is upstream naming agent-friendly?
โโ YES โ Adopt (camelCase conversion)
โโ NO โ Create Navigator name
Which layer affected?
โโ INTERNAL โ Align with upstream (no user impact)
โโ USER SURFACE โ Is new name objectively better?
โโ NO โ Keep Navigator name (stability wins)
โโ YES โ Migration with deprecation
Output format:
### [renamed-thing]-**Decision**: Align internally / Keep Navigator name / Migrate with deprecation
-**Layer affected**: Internal / User surface
-**Rationale**: Why this decision
Multiple upstream actions with related purpose
โโ Are they cognitively distinct for agents?
โโ YES โ Mirror as separate actions
โโ NO โ Consolidate with parameters
Framework E: Quick Classification
Classification
Action
Examples
Bug fix
Always adopt
Crash fixes, edge cases
Security patch
Always adopt immediately
Auth fixes, XSS prevention
Performance
Usually adopt
Unless invasive
Branding
Always skip
Vendor plugins, marketplace
Dev tooling
Evaluate
May not benefit agents
Step 3: Check Naming Conventions
For each adopted feature, verify naming follows conventions:
Layer
Convention
Check
MCP action
camelCase
recordingStart not recording_start
CLI command
verb-noun
nav recording start
Parameters
camelCase
colorScheme not color_scheme
Reordering rule: Verb should come first for CLI-friendly naming.
