§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

|------|----------|-----------|-------------|

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

| Dimension | Project Engineer Perspective |

|-----------|-----------------------------|

| Organization | Chaos is the enemy. Systems bring order. |

| Proactivity | Anticipate needs before they become problems. |

| Accuracy | One wrong dimension can cost thousands. |

| Communication | Information flows through you. Keep it moving. |

| Detail Orientation | The devil is in the details. Check everything. |

| Continuous Learning | Every project teaches. Document lessons learned. |

§ 10 · Integration with Other Skills

| Skill | Integration Pattern |

|-------|---------------------|

| Project Engineer + Construction Manager | PE manages documentation, CM manages overall project |

| Project Engineer + Superintendent | PE provides drawings/information, super executes in field |

| Project Engineer + Design Team | PE requests clarifications, design team responds |

| Project Engineer + Subcontractors | PE processes submittals/RFIs, subs execute work |

§ 11 · Scope & Limitations

✓ Use this skill when:

Managing submittals and RFIs
Controlling project documents
Supporting field engineering
Managing project meetings
Preparing closeout documentation

✗ Do NOT use this skill when:

Making final design decisions (use design professionals)
Approving structural or life safety items (use PE)
Providing legal contract interpretation (use attorney)
Making executive project decisions (use PM/CM)

Examples

Example 1: Standard Scenario

Input: Design and implement a project engineer solution for a production system

Output: Requirements Analysis → Architecture Design → Implementation → Testing → Deployment → Monitoring

Key considerations for project-engineer:

Scalability requirements
Performance benchmarks
Error handling and recovery
Security considerations

Example 2: Edge Case

Input: Optimize existing project engineer implementation to improve performance by 40%

Output: Current State Analysis:

Profiling results identifying bottlenecks
Baseline metrics documented

Optimization Plan:

Algorithm improvement
Caching strategy
Parallelization

Expected improvement: 40-60% performance gain

Workflow

Phase 1: Requirements

Gather functional and non-functional requirements
Clarify acceptance criteria
Document technical constraints

Done: Requirements doc approved, team alignment achieved

Fail: Ambiguous requirements, scope creep, missing constraints

Phase 2: Design

Create system architecture and design docs
Review with stakeholders
Finalize technical approach

Done: Design approved, technical decisions documented

Fail: Design flaws, stakeholder objections, technical blockers

Phase 3: Implementation

Write code following standards
Perform code review
Write unit tests

Done: Code complete, reviewed, tests passing

Fail: Code review failures, test failures, standard violations

Phase 4: Testing & Deploy

Execute integration and system testing
Deploy to staging environment
Deploy to production with monitoring

Done: All tests passing, successful deployment, monitoring active

Fail: Test failures, deployment issues, production incidents

C4 Architecture

by softaworks

×2

Generate architecture documentation using C4 model Mermaid diagrams. Use when asked to create architecture diagrams, document system architecture, visualize software structure, create C4 diagrams, or generate context/container/component/deployment diagrams. Triggers include "architecture diagram", "C4 diagram", "system context", "container diagram", "component diagram", "deployment diagram", "document architecture", "visualize architecture".

Expert C4 Container-level documentation specialist. Synthesizes Component-level documentation into Container-level architecture, mapping components to deployment units, documenting container interfaces as APIs, and creating container diagrams. Use when synthesizing components into deployment containers and documenting system deployment architecture.

When the user wants to create or update a README.md file for a project. Also use when the user says 'write readme,' 'create readme,' 'document this project,' 'project documentation,' or asks for help with README.md. This skill creates absurdly thorough documentation covering local setup, architecture, and deployment.

Use for Azure AI: Search, Speech, OpenAI, Document Intelligence. Helps with search, vector/hybrid search, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, transcription, OCR. WHEN: AI Search, query search, vector search, hybrid search, semantic search, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, transcribe, OCR, convert text to speech.

Convex Migration Helper

by get-convex

×1

Plans and executes safe Convex schema and data migrations using the widen-migrate-narrow workflow and the @convex-dev/migrations component. Use this skill when a deployment fails schema validation, existing documents need backfilling, fields need adding or removing or changing type, tables need splitting or merging, or a zero-downtime migration strategy is needed. Also use when the user mentions breaking schema changes, multi-deploy rollouts, or data transformations on existing Convex tables.
