When your agent uses it

Keeps an agent building and validating real output instead of servicing its own bookkeeping. Use for multi-stage pipelines, capability roadmaps, long-running implementation loops, migrations, staged data or build runs, and any run where administrative hashes, locks, receipts, dashboards, certification markers, or progress metadata can block correct work. Use when an agent refuses to advance, rewinds finished stages, or reruns unchanged work because a marker is missing or stale.

What it loads into context

Token counts are estimates. Scripts run separately; they are not counted as reference context.

# Forward implementation first

Build working capability and correct output before administrative bookkeeping.
Apply this contract both while building a system and while running it.

## Scope

This skill applies to:

- infrastructure and roadmap implementation;
- input intake and intermediate artifact production;
- transformation, derivation, and analysis stages;
- test construction, runtime verification, and measurement;
- publication of final output and closeout;
