How does Engineer Mindset differ from a standard AI coding assistant?

Standard AI agents often produce redundant "spaghetti code." This skill installs a systematic "think-first" protocol that forces the agent to analyze your existing architecture and reuse existing patterns rather than generating fresh code from scratch.

Which AI models or platforms are compatible with this skill?

This skill is designed to be compatible with major LLM-based agents and IDE extensions that support custom instructions or skill-based modular extensions (such as those using GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, or specialized coding models).

What exactly is included in the purchase?

Upon purchase, you receive the proprietary Engineer Mindset protocol file, a configuration guide for various agent environments, and a set of examples demonstrating the 'six-gate' process in action.

Does this skill work with any programming language or framework?

Yes, this skill is language-agnostic. Because it focuses on architectural principles like layer selection and reuse hierarchy, it works effectively across JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, and other major programming frameworks.

How difficult is the installation process?

Setup is nearly instantaneous; you simply import the provided skill instructions into your agent's system prompt or configuration file as outlined in the included documentation.

Will I receive updates if the engineering protocols are refined?

Buyers receive lifetime access to the version of the skill purchased, including any minor patches or optimizations made to the six-gate logic for 12 months following the purchase date.

About This Skill

Stop Generating Code, Start Engineering Systems

Most AI agents act like junior developers: they start typing as soon as they see a prompt. Engineer Mindset forces your agent to adopt the rigor of a Senior Staff Engineer. It installs a "think before you code" protocol that prioritizes big-picture analysis, architectural integrity, and code reuse over mindless generation.

How it Works

The skill implements a rigorous six-gate process that your agent must navigate before writing a single line of code:

Big Picture Pause: Defines the actual problem vs. the requested implementation.
Read Before Writing: Maps existing helpers and conventions to avoid duplication.
Layer Selection: Ensures logic is placed in the correct architectural layer (Domain, Application, Infrastructure).
Reuse Hierarchy: Forces composition and extension over building fresh.
Pattern Selection: Strips away over-engineering and "pattern-stuffing."
Refactor Judgment: Decides if the structure should be improved before the feature is added.

Why Developers Use This

Standard AI prompting often leads to "shotgun surgery" (editing 10 files for a small change) or "greenfield-in-brownfield" (ignoring your existing project conventions). This skill ensures your agent respects your codebase's unique patterns and chooses the simplest path to a solution, often resulting in 80% less code that is 100% easier to maintain.

Use Cases

Prevent over-engineering and unnecessary design patterns in small tasks.
Ensure new features follow existing codebase conventions and helpers.
Decide whether to refactor existing code or build a new abstraction.
Identify the correct systemic layer for a change to prevent logic leakage.
Validate if a framework migration is actually necessary based on profiling.
