I am writing constraints on concision versus depth for an AI debugging skill. Which reference document contains the principles for balancing concision and depth during skill authoring?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The response identifies design-principles.md for depth versus concision constraints. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this as the single canonical workflow for skill creation and improvement. Primary success condition: maximize high-value input coverage before authoring so the resulting skill has minimal blind spots.
