Purpose

Prevent quality decay during repeated AI-assisted coding iterations.

Use it when:

• a feature has gone through multiple rounds of edits
• local fixes are starting to damage global consistency
• code quality is degrading after repeated patching
• the system is accumulating duplicated abstractions, naming drift, weak typing, inconsistent error handling, or architectural violations
• the user asks for a robust, maintainable, system-aware implementation rather than a fast patch

This skill changes the default behavior from "solve the current local task quickly" to "preserve system integrity while implementing only the minimum safe change".
