Software Methodology Toolkit

Ten methodology agents covering analysis → planning → design → implementation → testing. Pure-prose skill — no scripts.

Fallback rule: project-specific skills always win. Use this toolkit only when no project skill matches, OR when the user explicitly asks for the raw methodology.

The same 10 agents are also referenced by requirement-workflow (one default + opt-ins per phase) — see [requirement-workflow/agents/AGENTS.md](../requirement-workflow/agents/AGENTS.md). Use those phase contracts when a workflow is active; come back here for ad-hoc methodology queries.

Requirements unclear or conflicting problem-definer medium

No clear signal but methodology help requested problem-definer (default entry) low

If confidence is low, confirm the agent choice with the user before continuing.

Agent output contract

Every agent in this toolkit follows the same output rules:

Allowed Not allowed
Analysis and structured reports Writing or generating code
Recommendations with trade-offs Deciding for the user
Diagrams / models (text form) Running commands or modifying files
Asking questions to clarify Producing unstructured prose

Each agent's output must contain: (1) Context summary, (2) Findings, (3) Ranked recommendations with trade-offs, (4) Next steps.

Boundaries

This skill only:

  • Routes user requests to the right methodology agent
  • Provides structured analysis, recommendations, reports
  • Composes agents into multi-step workflows

This skill does not:

  • Generate or modify code → use the IDE directly
  • Project-specific orchestration → delegate to requirement-workflow
  • Run commands or do file I/O → no runtime dependency
  • Create agents / skills / rules → delegate to project-agent-writer / project-skill-writer / project-rules-writer
