Individual skill

breaking-driven

Use when bloated code needs clean re-derivation, or the user says "this module is bloated" or "break it and rebuild". Not for untracked data or changes without VCS rollback.

# Breaking-driven development

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The user says "this module is bloated", "rewrite this properly", or "break it and rebuild". |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only VCS-tracked targets (destructive changes; show the exact set before mutation); rollback is version control. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Deletes obsolete implementation and residue, writes the replacement, and adds essential-behavior tests. |
| Done | Consumer contract preserved, every divergence classified, residue absent, and verifier green. |

## Inputs

A named path or identified target must be supplied or named in the request and defines the whole job. Optionally, a blank invocation or explicit repo-wide wording surveys the repo and works through a ranked list one target at a time.
