Code Like Michael
This skill is an execution policy for agents. It converts labelled examples in references/examples/ into concrete coding decisions.
If you are writing code, changing architecture, reviewing PRs, or proposing refactors in this repo, apply this skill.
Ground Truth
Treat these files as source-of-truth calibration:
references/examples/(labelled examples; highest authority)references/dimensions.md(20 dimensions)references/annotations-rubric.md(anchor definitions)
When uncertain, prefer consistency with labelled examples over generic best practices.

long-running-agent-harness
Plans and structures large-scale work for AI agents across many sessions. Human and AI iterate to produce a design doc; run an Initializer sub-agent once to create feature list, runbook, and backlog in _working/; then repeatedly run a Coding sub-agent until all features pass. At milestones (e.g. end of a work-unit group), pause for human check-in, re-run Initializer, then continue. Prompts are passed to sub-agents when spawning (no copying into .cursor/rules). Use when planning multi-session agent work, long-horizon coding from a design, or handoff between coding sessions.
31working-docs
Use when handling multi-step tasks, investigations, or long sessions where working notes, interim findings, and scratch planning are needed to keep context and handoffs clear.
23doc-coauthoring
Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
23test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
19commit-messages
When suggesting or writing commit messages for this repo, follow these rules.
17wikilinks
When generating or editing markdown content, actively look for existing pages to link to and incorporate relevant wikilinks so content is interconnected. Use when writing notes, docs, or any .md content.
