## Skill Execution Criteria

### When to Use This Skill
- [AUTO-EXTRACTED from skill description and content]
- [Task patterns this skill is optimized for]
- [Workflow contexts where this skill excels]

### When NOT to Use This Skill
- [Situations where alternative skills are better suited]
- [Anti-patterns that indicate wrong skill choice]
- [Edge cases this skill doesn't handle well]

### Success Criteria
- primary_outcome: "[SKILL-SPECIFIC measurable result based on skill purpose]"
- [assert|neutral] quality_threshold: 0.85 [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
- verification_method: "[How to validate skill executed correctly and produced expected outcome]"

### Edge Cases
- case: "Ambiguous or incomplete input"
  handling: "Request clarification, document assumptions, proceed with explicit constraints"
- case: "Conflicting requirements or constraints"
  handling: "Surface conflict to user, propose resolution options, document trade-offs"
- case: "Insufficient context for quality execution"
  handling: "Flag missing information, provide template for needed context, proceed with documented limitations"

### Skill Guardrails

**Purpose:** Proactively manage token budgets by analyzing current usage, estimating task complexity, generating intelligent chunking strategies, prioritizing work, and creating step-by-step execution plans that stay within budget limits.

## When to Use This Skill

- Before starting large or complex tasks
- When approaching token budget limits
- During multi-phase project planning
- When tasks fail due to token exhaustion
- For optimizing resource allocation
- When coordinating multiple agents

## Analysis Dimensions

### 1. Budget Assessment
- Current token usage vs. limits
- Remaining budget calculation
- Historical usage patterns
- Projected usage for pending tasks
- Buffer allocation for safety

### 2. Task Complexity Analysis
- Token estimation by task type
- Agent requirements and costs
- Integration complexity
- Testing overhead
- Documentation needs

### 3. Chunking Strategy
- Logical task boundaries
- Dependency analysis
- Chunk size optimization
- Inter-chunk communication
- State management between chunks

### 4. Priority Optimization
- Critical path identification
- Value vs. cost analysis
- Risk assessment
- Quick wins identification
- Deferrable work detection

### 5. Execution Planning
- Step-by-step task sequence
- Budget tracking per step
- Checkpoint planning
- Rollback strategies
- Progress monitoring

## Execution Process

### Phase 1: Budget Assessment

```bash
# Initialize budget analysis
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description "Analyzing token budget"

# Retrieve current usage
npx claude-flow@alpha memory retrieve --key "token-usage/current"
```

**Budget Calculation:**
```javascript
function assessBudget(tokenLimit = 200000) {
  const usage = {
    limit: tokenLimit,
    used: getCurrentTokenUsage(),
    remaining: 0,
    buffer: 0,
    available: 0,
    status: "unknown"
  };

  usage.remaining = usage.limit - usage.used;
  usage.buffer = Math.floor(usage.limit * 0
