engineer-system-change

engineer-system-change is a System design & architecture decisions skill for AI agents, published by bytedance in the deer-flow repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates engineer-system-change D (68/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it.

Evaluate and carry out non-trivial software-system changes from first principles. Use when assessing RFCs, issues, designs, features, refactors, migrations, dependency changes, or proposed fields, events, APIs, modules, and services whose need, consumers, system fit, validation, or rollback require scrutiny. Read the actual system, identify the concrete problem and named semantic consumers, choose the smallest sufficient solution, reject pseudo-requirements and speculative abstractions, and require evidence proportional to risk. Do not use for mechanical edits, source-code explanation, or a dedicated review of an already-complete diff.

Exceptionally rigorous first-principles framework for scoping system changes, with a strict boundary between assessment and implementation permission, though delivered as one long undivided document.
