The engineering loop - select, advance, distill, deliver - for running a work session on a project.

One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We have just landed a feature deliverable and completed reporting in deliver.md. Specify the precise section and phase where the assistant must re-enter the engineering cycle for the subsequent task.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Rule content lives in the four files below; this SKILL.md only routes
(doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).
| You are about to… | Read (in this folder) |
|---|---|
| Start a session; choose the next unit; size it; decide who/which tier runs it | select.md |
| Push a unit forward; wonder if you're stalled; pace an unattended run | advance.md |
| Decide where a learning goes — lesson, memory, project-level skill, or nowhere | distill.md |
| Claim a unit done; commit; report; end the session | deliver.md |
A full pass is select.md → advance.md → distill.md → deliver.md, once per unit
of work; re-enter at select.md §5 after each landing.
This bundle is the outer cycle that sequences the others across a session and a
project. Whether/how to delegate and judge (escalate, done-gate, ask-user) is
doctrine; how to work a problem once inside a unit (investigate, design, execute,
verify, write) is methods; domain judgment is the matching domain bundle. When this
bundle and doctrine both fire, doctrine first — its three non-negotiables apply
inside every phase of the loop.
A project advances as a sequence of landed loops, and compounds only if each loop
distills. Progress is landed deliverables, not activity (advance.md §3); the next
session's speed is this session's runway (deliver.md §4); and the institution grows
one filed learning at a time (distill.md §1) — that is how weak sessions get strong.
