Included Skills2

alignskills/align/SKILL.md

Keep software work aligned with the user's intent as discoveries and feedback change the work. Use when the user asks to align or rethink a task, when the agent's direction appears to drift, or when a discovery creates a consequential choice about the result, scope, or cost. Clarify what matters, recommend a direction, and carry user decisions forward without creating a specification or an approval ritual.

checkskills/check/SKILL.md

Check whether software work solves the user's current problem and whether its scope and complexity are justified. Use when the user asks if work is done, achieved the goal, drifted, or became overbuilt. Inspect the actual result with proportionate evidence and identify meaningful gaps or excess. No prior Steward document is needed. This is a goal and proportionality review, not a general code audit or an implementation task.
