Agent skill
enforcement
Use when implementing hooks that BLOCK invalid actions, creating quality gates for state transitions, or enforcing tested:true verification. Load when designing enforcement mechanisms. Uses exit code 2 to block, JSON permissionDecision:deny, or updatedInput modification. Rules are instructions; hooks are enforcement.

Enforcement
Runtime mechanisms that block invalid actions.
Core Principle
"Rules are instructions, not enforcements. Systems need verification gates, not more documentation."
Instructions
- Identify what needs enforcement (not just documentation)
- Choose hook timing: PreToolUse, PermissionRequest, SubagentStop
- Implement blocking logic:
scripts/block-*.sh - Test with invalid action → verify block
Blocking Mechanisms
| Mechanism | How | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Exit code 2 | exit 2 + stderr |
Blocks, feeds stderr to Claude |
| JSON deny | "permissionDecision": "deny" |
Structured blocking |
| Stop block | "decision": "block" |
Forces agent to continue |
Hook Timing
| Event | Can Block? | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| PreToolUse | Yes | Validate before execution |
| PermissionRequest | Yes | Custom approval logic |
| SubagentStop | Yes | Force quality gates |
| PostToolUse | No | Feedback only |

full-stack-debugger
This skill should be used when debugging full-stack issues that span UI, backend, and database layers. It provides a systematic workflow to detect errors, analyze root causes, apply fixes iteratively, and verify solutions through automated server restarts and browser-based testing. Ideal for scenarios like failing schedulers, import errors, database issues, or API payload problems where issues originate in backend code but manifest in the UI.
