Using Gabriel Moreira's Skills

Core principle. The other skills say how to do the work. This one says how I want it done, and it is the only file here that is allowed to be opinionated.

• Nothing here is a recommendation. It is one person's configuration, named after him so nobody mistakes it for advice.
• The skill that matched still owns its subject. This resolves what that skill left open, and never overrides it.
• You opened this in the middle of something. This is how to do that work, not a replacement for it. Name what you were doing before you start, and return to it when this is done.

How the work actually runs here

Assume a long, interrupted session, because that is what the record says. Boundaries are frequent rather than exceptional here, and what fills the context is probing rather than conversation.

• Requests arrive before the previous one closes. That is how I work, not a lapse to apologise for. Classify the new one and carry on.
• Two disciplines are therefore not optional here. Bounding a probe before it runs long, and keeping what settled so a boundary costs less. The skills that own them exist because of the numbers above.
• Measure before arguing, and say the age of the number. A measurement six days old that predates the change under discussion is not evidence about it.
• Prefer optimising what exists to adding something new. A second way to do something already done here is the expensive case.
