Brief description of what this agent does (1-2 sentences)

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol developer for building interoperable agent systems using Google's open A2A standard with JSON-RPC, task lifecycle, and streaming

Panoramic synthesis through simultaneous multi-domain awareness — perceives the whole field before acting on any part, forming emergent insights from cross-domain resonances and tensions

Constructive contrarian for rigorous assumption-testing, counterargument generation, Socratic questioning, and logical fallacy detection — steelmans opposing positions before challenging claims

One to three sentences describing what this skill accomplishes, followed by key activation triggers. This field is the primary mechanism agents use to decide whether to activate the skill — it is read during discovery before the full body is loaded. Start with a verb. Include the most important "when to use" conditions inline. Max 1024 characters.

Execute structural metamorphosis using strangler fig migration, chrysalis phases, and interface preservation. Covers transformation planning, parallel running, progressive cutover, rollback design, and post-metamorphosis stabilization for system architecture evolution. Use when assess-form has classified the system as READY for transformation, when migrating from monolith to microservices, when replacing a core subsystem while dependents continue operating, or when any architectural change must be gradual rather than big-bang.

Master skill composing the 5-step synoptic cycle for panoramic synthesis across multiple domains. Orchestrates meditate, expand-awareness, observe, awareness, integrate-gestalt, and express-insight into a coherent process that produces unified understanding rather than sequential compromise. Use when a problem genuinely spans 3+ domains and the interactions between domains matter more than depth in any one, when sequential analysis feels like compromise rather than integration, or before major architectural decisions affecting multiple stakeholders.

Scaffold a new puzzle type across all 10+ pipeline integration points in jigsawR. Creates the core puzzle module, wires it into the unified pipeline (generation, positioning, rendering, adjacency), adds ggpuzzle geom/stat layers, updates DESCRIPTION and config.yml, extends the Shiny app, and creates a comprehensive test suite. Use when adding a completely new puzzle type to the package or following the 10-point integration checklist to ensure nothing is missed end-to-end.

Add Rcpp or RcppArmadillo integration to an R package for high-performance C++ code. Covers setup, writing C++ functions, RcppExports generation, testing compiled code, and debugging. Use when an R function is too slow and profiling confirms a bottleneck, when you need to interface with existing C/C++ libraries, or when implementing algorithms (loops, recursion, linear algebra) that benefit from compiled code.
