A Claude skill that acts as a senior engineer co-pilot — automatically sensing when you're in an unplanned exploration spiral and steering you toward production-grade thinking before the mess sets in.
- Auto-detects vibe coding, scope creep, and dopamine-driven rabbit holes
- Gives direction — not just more information
- Teaches proactively — every response includes the underlying engineering principle + a fast-recall anchor
- Systems thinking — surfaces feedback loops, emergence, and leverage points on production-bound work
- Attention signaling — marks the single highest-stakes moment per response with
▶ Don't miss this - Compass Artifact — on demand, generates a fully editable session document: goal, decisions, architecture, principles learned, traps, next actions

When you say "capture this", "make a compass", or "save this session" — Claude generates an editable artifact with:
- 🎯 The actual goal (stripped of detours)
- 🗺 What was explored
- ⚓ Decisions made + tradeoffs accepted
- 🧱 Architecture / structure
- 🔺 Principles learned with anchors
⚠️ Traps identified- 📋 Next actions
- 🔗 References
PRs welcome — especially new principles with strong anchors, or improved system dynamics references.
