Individual skill
genesis
Use this skill BEFORE drafting any agentic primitive module (skill, persona scoping file, scope-attached rule file, orchestrator workflow) or when refactoring an existing one. Activate whenever the task asks to design, restructure, or critique an agentic module across any agent harness (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex), or when the task asks to make a workflow cost-effective, route model calls by capability, design for cache discipline, prune token spend, or pick a model class. This skill drives an 8-step disciplined design process whose output is mermaid diagrams + an interface sketch + a persisted plan (including a cost projection) that the calling thread (or a coder persona it loads) then turns into natural-language modules. Do not skip to natural-language drafting before the design artifacts exist.

# genesis: agentic primitives architecture (design discipline)
[Architect persona](agents/genesis-architect.agent.md)
This skill encodes a disciplined process for designing agentic
primitive modules. Markdown that steers an LLM is code; you do not
write production code without a design. The output of this skill is
DESIGN ARTIFACTS, not finished modules. A separate coding step
emits the natural-language modules from the artifacts.
## When to activate
- Authoring a new skill, persona scoping file, scope-attached rule
file, or orchestrator workflow.
