Reliable Coding

A lightweight execution companion to Agentit's three-skill global core. The canonical BUILDER/REVIEW policy, transitions, security gates and authority boundaries stay in skills/task-router/SKILL.md. This skill adds concrete working habits; it never overrides the core or automatically loads other skills.

Use it for non-trivial implementation or code review. Skip it for obvious one-line edits when no special process is needed. A selected skill must be loaded JIT; profile installation alone does not load it.

Four operating rules

1. Think before editing. Read the affected code and its contract. Surface consequential assumptions. Ask only when a material choice cannot be resolved from the project; for small reversible ambiguity, state a reasonable assumption and proceed.
2. Ship the minimum sufficient solution. Solve the present requirement; do not build for hypothetical future cases. Prefer a native primitive or existing helper over new layers.
3. Make surgical changes. Match local conventions. Avoid drive-by refactors, extra configuration, unnecessary tests and documentation churn. Remove the unused artifacts that your own change creates.
4. Verify before claiming success. Use freshly observed checks that actually prove the scoped claim. Report what was tested and what remains unverified. A passed unit test does not prove production behavior.
