Improve Processes

Operating Principle

Use this skill whenever a process/system must be analyzed or improved, or when faithful representation would otherwise encode ambiguity as authoritative behavior. Establish purpose at the current useful resolution, model only what evidence supports, investigate resolvable uncertainty, and ask the user only when continuing would create or alter intent or policy.

Model Quality Checks

During MODEL and CHALLENGE, verify the relevant ProcessModel has:

• observable desired outcomes and terminal states;
• explicit actors/ownership, inputs, outputs, state, transitions, resources, and constraints where applicable;
• evaluable guards and explicitly permitted behavior, including intentional nondeterminism;
• failure, retry, recovery, rollback, and feedback behavior where applicable;
• assumptions and boundaries distinguished from verified facts;
• enough auditability to reconstruct materially important execution;
• important correctness claims expressed so they can be falsified or otherwise validated.

Do not require irrelevant fields merely to complete a checklist.
