Convert an existing repo so AI coding agents work reliably in it. This skill operationalizes section 09 of the source repo: the guide is the why, this skill is the executable how.

Architecture

This skill uses nested progressive disclosure:

• SKILL.md is the always-loaded dispatcher.
• steps/<nn-name>/README.md files are second-level dispatchers.
• policies/<name>/README.md files hold cross-cutting behavior.
• references/ files hold tier and stack-specific implementation details.
• assets/ files are templates loaded only when needed.

Keep this file small. When behavior grows, put it in the smallest relevant step or policy file.

Loading discipline

Load only what the current decision needs.
