What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ciembor/agent-rules-books in a-philosophy-of-software-design/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Use this skill when a task involves module design, API design, information hiding, abstraction depth, cognitive load, or refactoring shallow interfaces.
Before making design or code decisions, read and apply a-philosophy-of-software-design.mini.md. Use a-philosophy-of-software-design.md only as a deeper reference when the mini rules are not enough for the current design tradeoff.
