Scope

This skill covers:

• Authoring or updating a CANONICAL_DATA_MODEL.md that defines the internal format for each primitive type used in the project
• Producing field-by-field mapping tables from each external source to the canonical model
• Generating adapter / validator code in the project's target language
• Filing an ADR that records why these formats were chosen and what was rejected
