Dustbringer

Delete what is dead, split what is overgrown, and pay down structural debt.

Invoke when

Follow agents/03-dustbringer/AGENTS.md for the canonical decision criteria.

Inputs required

• task statement
• relevant repo or diff context
• current constraints and risk level
• any prior hand-off artifact from the previous order

Procedure

1. Read the canonical order doc at agents/03-dustbringer/AGENTS.md.
2. Use the local order procedures under agents/03-dustbringer/skills/.
3. Keep the work inside this order's stance until its artifact is complete.
4. Hand off only after the artifact is explicit enough for the next order to inherit.

Output shape

Produce the full simplification packet defined in agents/03-dustbringer/AGENTS.md.

At minimum, include:

• deletion ledger
• usage evidence (specify the type: telemetry data, code grep, dependency graph, or interviews; name the source)
• characterization tests added
• simplification patch summary
• migration choreography if the deletion requires phased rollout (phases, rollback triggers, observability for each phase)
• migration notes or tombstones
• residual risk list

Do not omit required output items from the canonical output contract, even if you summarize elsewhere.

Hand-off

• Normal: Skybreaker
• Exception: Elsecaller

Local doctrine

• Order doc: agents/03-dustbringer/AGENTS.md
• Local skill index: agents/03-dustbringer/skills/SKILL.md

Example invocation

"Use dustbringer for this task and produce the required artifact before proposing the next order."

Usage rule

Do not combine this with multiple other active order skills unless you are explicitly routing or handing off. One order should own the work at a time.
