zte-progression
Guide progression from In-Loop to Out-Loop to Zero-Touch Engineering. Use when assessing agentic maturity, planning ZTE progression, or identifying requirements for autonomous operation.
What this skill does
# ZTE Progression Skill Guide teams through the three levels of agentic coding: In-Loop, Out-Loop, and Zero-Touch Engineering. ## When to Use - Assessing current agentic maturity level - Planning progression to higher automation - Identifying blockers to ZTE adoption - Building confidence for autonomous operation ## Core Concepts ### Three Levels | Level | Presence KPI | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | In-Loop | Constant | Interactive prompting | | Out-Loop | 2 (prompt + review) | AFK agents with review | | Zero-Touch | 1 (prompt only) | Full automation | ### Progression Requirements **In-Loop -> Out-Loop:** - Workflows succeed on first attempt - Tests catch issues reliably - Similar tasks repeat frequently **Out-Loop -> ZTE:** - 90%+ success rate - Review catches nothing new - Tests provide safety net ## Assessment Workflow ### Step 1: Identify Current Level Search for agentic workflow indicators: ```markdown Look for: - Manual prompting patterns (In-Loop) - Automated workflows with review (Out-Loop) - Fully automated shipping (ZTE) ``` ### Step 2: Analyze Success Metrics Review KPI data if available: ```markdown Check @agentic-kpis.md or equivalent: - Attempt counts - Success streaks - Review catch rates ``` ### Step 3: Identify Blockers Common blockers to progression: | Blocker | Mitigation | | --- | --- | | Low test coverage | Improve tests before progressing | | Inconsistent success | Analyze failures, improve prompts | | Review catches issues | Tests need to catch these first | | No rollback capability | Add before enabling ZTE | ### Step 4: Recommend Next Steps Based on current level, recommend: **At In-Loop:** - Start with Out-Loop for chores - Build workflow automation - Establish review process **At Out-Loop:** - Track review catch rate - Build confidence with simple tasks - Consider ZTE for high-confidence areas **Near ZTE:** - Enable for chores first - Expand progressively - Monitor continuously ## Key Memory References - @zte-progression.md - Three levels definition - @zte-confidence-building.md - Building ZTE confidence - @agentic-kpis.md - KPI tracking - @composable-primitives.md - Workflow building blocks ## Output Format Provide assessment: ```markdown ## ZTE Assessment **Current Level:** [In-Loop | Out-Loop | ZTE] **Problem Classes Assessed:** [chores, bugs, features] ### Indicators Found - [Evidence of current level] ### Blockers to Progression - [Identified blockers] ### Recommendations 1. [Specific next step] 2. [Specific next step] ### Target Timeline - [Realistic progression timeline] ``` ## Anti-Patterns to Identify - Skipping levels (Out-Loop before tests exist) - All-or-nothing thinking (must ZTE everything) - Ignoring failure signals (pushing forward despite issues) - Review theater (reviewing without catching anything) ## Version History - **v1.0.0** (2025-12-26): Initial release --- ## Last Updated **Date:** 2025-12-26 **Model:** claude-opus-4-5-20251101

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.
