- socraticm4vic/socraticThis skill should be used when the user asks to "build", "design", "scaffold", "architect", or "plan" any system, feature, service, app, agent, pipeline, connector, or tool — especially when the request is short, vague, or underspecified. It should also be used when the user asks to "review this architecture", "what am I missing", "ask me the right questions", "poke holes in this", or requests a design review before implementation. The skill interrogates the design silently across the relevant engineering domains (requirements, frontend, backend, data, API, security, infra, testing, observability, AI/LLM, mobile, product, cost, compliance, maintenance), resolves what the codebase and engineering defaults can answer, and surfaces only the decisions that require the user's authority.Security★ 131
