Skills that argue back

A checklist tells an agent what to do. A good skill also tells it what not to do, and when to stop and complain. That second half is where the author lives.

Constraints are the signature

Anyone can write 'add tests'. It takes a point of view to write 'never mock what you own'. When two skills disagree, that disagreement is information — it tells you whose judgment you're installing.

Generic instructions are free. Judgment is the part worth signing.

So let your skill argue back. The people who bounce off it were never your users; the ones who stay will keep it for years.
