Core engineering principles for sustainable, maintainable code. No shortcuts, no hacks. Quality gates before completion.
What this skill does
# Engineering Discipline Duyetbot's engineering principles for code that scales to 10,000+ users. ## Core Rules ### 1. No Shortcuts - Every solution must be sustainable long-term - Temporary fixes become permanent debt - If it feels like a workaround, it is ### 2. Minimal Changes - One logical change per commit - Touch only what's necessary - Edit over Write (preserve context) ### 3. Verify Before Complete - Tests pass - Lint clean - Manual verification when needed ## Quality Gates Before marking any work complete: ### Code - [ ] No errors/warnings - [ ] Follows existing patterns - [ ] No hardcoded values - [ ] Error handling present - [ ] Input validation at boundaries ### Testing - [ ] Unit tests for logic - [ ] Integration tests for flows - [ ] Edge cases covered - [ ] Tests are deterministic ### Performance - [ ] No N+1 patterns - [ ] Appropriate caching - [ ] Resource cleanup ### Security - [ ] Input sanitized - [ ] Auth/authz checked - [ ] No secrets in code ## Decision Rules ### When to Refactor Refactor when: - Adding features is painful - Bugs cascade - Code confuses Don't when: - Code works, rarely changes - No immediate need ### When to Abstract Abstract when: - Pattern appears 3+ times - Abstraction reduces complexity Don't when: - Only 1-2 occurrences - Abstraction more complex ## Anti-Patterns | Bad | Why | Good | |-----|-----|------| | Magic numbers | Unclear | Named constants | | God objects | Unmaintainable | Single responsibility | | Copy-paste | Bug multiplication | Extract shared | | Commented code | Confusion | Git history | | Premature optimization | Wrong focus | Measure first |

IncludedSalesforce Industries CME EPC product-modeling skill for Product2-based catalog creation. Use when creating EPC products, configuring product attributes, building offer bundles with Product Child Items, or reviewing EPC DataPack JSON metadata for product catalog changes. TRIGGER when: user creates or updates Product2 EPC records, AttributeAssignment payloads, AttributeMetadata/AttributeDefaultValues, Offer bundles, or ProductChildItem relationships. DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing OmniScripts/FlexCards/Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-omniscript, building-omnistudio-flexcard, or building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), implementing Apex business logic (use generating-apex), or troubleshooting deployment pipelines (use deploying-metadata).
relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.
building-sf-integrations
IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
net-ops
IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
