Contract

• Input: problem or task defined by the skill body.
• Output: Markdown artifact or structured result with completion criteria met.
• Side effects: none (design/review/documentation only unless explicitly stated).
• Dependencies: none (self-contained unless linked to other skills).
• Stop condition: all process steps completed; artifact saved; criteria checked.
• Risk: low.
• Boundary: produces reasoning or documentation artifacts; does not modify external systems unless explicitly instructed.
