How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

- Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
- Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

AI-First Engineering
Use this skill when designing process, reviews, and architecture for teams shipping with AI-assisted code generation.
Process Shifts
- Planning quality matters more than typing speed.
- Eval coverage matters more than anecdotal confidence.
- Review focus shifts from syntax to system behavior.
Architecture Requirements
Prefer architectures that are agent-friendly:
- explicit boundaries
- stable contracts
- typed interfaces
- deterministic tests
Avoid implicit behavior spread across hidden conventions.
Code Review in AI-First Teams
Review for:
- behavior regressions
- security assumptions
- data integrity
- failure handling
- rollout safety
Minimize time spent on style issues already covered by automation.
Hiring and Evaluation Signals
Strong AI-first engineers:
- decompose ambiguous work cleanly
- define measurable acceptance criteria
- produce high-signal prompts and evals
- enforce risk controls under delivery pressure
Testing Standard
Raise testing bar for generated code:
- required regression coverage for touched domains
- explicit edge-case assertions
- integration checks for interface boundaries
