Goldilocks
Skill blackstone2333/goldilocks/plugins/goldilocks/skills/goldilocks
Adaptive workflow and quality-control router for any executable work, including software, research, analysis, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other structured deliverables. Invoke implicitly or explicitly to choose Direct work, alignment, diagnosis, planning, delegation, continuity, or verification; clear tasks immediately take the Direct exit without loading another workflow reference.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at
- 28 days oldThe repository was created 28 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Goldilocks
Default to Direct. Preserve quality, safety, authority, and acceptance; add process only when it changes the outcome.
Zero-cost gate
Before loading workflow, make one check:
- Does a material product, architecture, authority, safety, or irreversible decision remain?
- Must the work survive compaction, several stages, waiting, delegation, or handoff?
- Are there at least two independent ready units, or one large complete Fast contract that clearly avoids substantial Lead work on a verified route?
If all answers are no, take the Direct exit. Do not read any Goldilocks reference. Do not invoke another Goldilocks skill. Do not create workflow documents or continuity state. Do not announce the route. Inspect task-local facts, make the smallest coherent change, and run the smallest decisive check.
Direct: do not create workflow continuity documents by default; documentation is the deliverable or correctness may still require normal docs. Only after a compaction, multi-stage, steering, waiting, delegation, or handoff trigger may continuity.md create .goldilocks/ACTIVE.md.
Escalate one internal engine
- Material ambiguity or end-state design: read align.md.
- Bug, failure, or unclear causality: read diagnose.md.
- Reuse, durable planning, execution, or deliberate TDD: read build.md.
- Worktrees, delegation, parallelism, or model routing: read orchestrate.md.
- Review, release, safety, integration, or multi-claim acceptance: read prove.md.
- Ideas, Skill authoring, or workflow experiments: read evolve.md.
- Explicit multi-unit artifact production: read artifacts.md.
Load only that engine. Add another only when facts cross its boundary.
Lead owns intent, shared decisions, integration, and final acceptance. Fast receives a complete contract and remains a leaf; Standard receives only bounded domain judgment.
Decision-first communication
Lead with the result or decision. Do not narrate planned work, repeat visible state, or quote oversized logs. Status is delta only; use the shortest decisive evidence. Expand when safety, ambiguity, or authority requires it.
