What it does
This is a set of working rules, written in Japanese, that tells an AI coding agent how to run a software project. Before changing code, the agent defines what 'done' means and runs a baseline test, then splits the job into small pieces that can each be checked on their own. It also suggests using cheaper AI models for simple edits and stronger ones for architecture and root-cause analysis, and it asks the agent to track cost, retries and time per task. There are no scripts or external tools; it only changes how the agent behaves.
Great for
- Developers who let AI agents write most of their code and want stronger review and measurement
- Teams wanting a checklist for controlling AI-generated changes and their cost
- Japanese-speaking engineers who want the guidance in their own language
Skip it if
- Beginners looking for a ready-made app or tool: it is a workflow guide, not a program, and the evaluation steps still need a real test setup from you
- Projects with no tests or evaluations: the 'evaluation first' loop cannot run without them
- Anyone expecting the skill to choose or switch models automatically: it only describes a routing policy the agent must follow
Try asking
- “Plan this feature as small verifiable steps with clear completion criteria before you start coding”
- “Set up a capability and regression evaluation for this bug fix, then run the baseline first”
- “Route these tasks: classify the issues with a small model, refactor the module with a mid-tier model, design the architecture with the largest model”
- “Review this AI-generated pull request focusing on invariants, error boundaries and security assumptions rather than style”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Provide your existing test or evaluation commands so the agent can run the baseline loop instead of just describing it
- Ask the agent to report the cost table (model, token estimate, retries, time, outcome) at the end of each task
- The skill is written in Japanese; ask for English output explicitly if your team works in English
