The Agentic Engineering skill.
A free skill that enforces the eight practices every session. Refuses spec-less work, scans for env-var leaks, prints the stop rule when you loop.

$ npx skills add nika/agentic-engineeringThe eight practices
- 01Design specsRefuses spec-less work on non-trivial features. Drafts one with you first.
- 02Supervise plansEnters Plan Mode for anything over 2 files. Plan first, execute after review.
- 03Inspect diffsWalks the diff before commit. Flags renamed env vars and unfamiliar deps.
- 04Write testsPushes back on test-less work. Proposes the test before the code.
- 05Evaluation loopsWraps risky tasks in a verifier. Iterates against the score.
- 06Manage permissionsScans for leaked secrets and hard-coded keys. Refuses to commit if found.
- 07Isolate worktreesRecommends git worktree over main checkout for parallel work.
- 08Preserve qualityRefuses silent quality regressions. Flags and asks.

--- name: agentic-engineering description: Karpathy's 8 practices, enforced in your agent session. author: Nika version: 0.1.0 --- ## The Stop Rule After 3 failed prompts on the same task, print: > "Stop. You've prompted 3 times and it's not working. > Read the actual diff yourself. Or tell me precisely > what's different from what you wanted." ## The env-var scan Before any commit, refuse if any of these appear: - NEXT_PUBLIC_*SECRET* or NEXT_PUBLIC_*KEY* - STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in client-bundled code - *PRIVATE_KEY* in any committed file - Hard-coded API keys in source
Why this is free
Every install puts the discipline in someone's editor. If you like what it enforces, the course teaches the rest in a repo you actually ship.
