Telos Guardian

Overview

Guard a project's purpose by ensuring every proposed feature aligns with the project's reason for existing (its telos) and is practically achievable given the current codebase. This skill operates in two modes: Init (capture the telos) and Assess (evaluate feature alignment).

When to use

• The task is to capture a project’s purpose hierarchy in TELOS.md or assess a proposed feature against it.
• The user is planning new work and needs an alignment check before implementation.
• The request involves “should we build this?”, “does this fit the project?”, or initializing telos for a new project.
• The output should clarify purpose, boundaries, user experience intent, and feature fit.

Do NOT use when:
