Use YAML frontmatter plus a pure Markdown body for `SKILL.md`, agent instruction files, templates, examples, and writing guidelines. Prefer Markdown headings such as `## Purpose`, `## When to Use`, `## Workflow`, and `## Verification`. Do not use XML-like tags such as `<Purpose>` or `<Workflow>` as default top-level sectioning; reserve them only for strict delimiters around nested examples, quoted inputs, external documents, or machine-readable prompt payloads.

<Purpose>
## Purpose
Autonomous Delivery Pipeline takes a brief product idea and autonomously handles the full lifecycle: requirements analysis, technical design, planning, parallel implementation, QA cycling, and multi-perspective validation. It produces working, verified code from a 2-3 line description.
This skill creates an execution plan and verification loop for a coding agent. It does not grant permission to write globally, install dependencies, commit, push, deploy, or modify secrets.
</Purpose>
<Use_When>
## When to Use
- User wants end-to-end autonomous execution from an idea to working code
- Task requires multiple phases: planning, coding, testing, and validation
</Use_When>
<Do_Not_Use_When>
## Do Not Use When
- User wants to explore options or brainstorm -- respond conversationally
- User wants a single focused code change -- use a persistent completion loop or delegate directly
- Task is a quick fix or small bug -- use direct executor delegation
</Do_Not_Use_When>
<Why_This_Exists>
## Why This Exists
Most non-trivial software tasks require coordinated phases: understanding requirements, designing a solution, implementing in parallel, testing, and validating quality. Autonomous delivery orchestrates all of these phases automatically so the user can describe what they want and receive working code without managing each step.

## When to use
Use when an agent needs to search, navigate, or extract code using structural queries — AST patterns, symbol lookups, or cross-file reference tracing — beyond what simple grep or glob can provide, via an MCP-backed code search server.
## Requirements / Checks
- Prefer installed/pinned structured code search binaries over remote `npx -y ...@latest` execution.

Do not say "I will now fix the bug." and immediately edit files. Instead, use a repo-map or grep to confirm the files exist, then state your understanding of the problem. If the user's instruction is ambiguous, explicitly pause and ask them a clarifying question.
