Surfaces expert frameworks and proven methodologies before creating OR evaluating skills, hooks, agents, or commands. Helps select approaches from domain masters. Triggers: methodology, framework, expert approach, best practices, masters, proven method, domain expertise, how should I approach, what's the best way, evaluate skill, review methodology, is this grounded, optimization check. Use when starting creation workflows, evaluating methodology gaps, or seeking domain expertise. Do not use if you already have a specific methodology or are fixing syntax/structural issues.

This skill surfaces frameworks from domain masters to prevent reinventing established processes and identify methodology gaps in existing work. It should be used as a brief initial check before brainstorming or evaluation begins. ## Workflow Integration When starting new work, identify the domain (e.g., Instruction Design, Code Review, or Knowledge Management) and consult the corresponding module in `modules/` to discover experts and their frameworks. Select principles that fit your context and document them in a methodology brief before proceeding to creation. For existing work, determine what the skill or hook is trying to teach and compare it against established frameworks. This gap analysis identifies opportunities to add missing principles or align terminology with recognized standards. Surgically add methodology rather than rewriting from scratch to maintain authority and effectiveness. ## Domain Modules Each module in the `modules/` directory provides a curated list of masters, key works, and actionable frameworks. These resources include selection guides and anti-patterns to avoid for each domain. - **Instruction Design**: `modules/instruction-design.md` - Teaching techniques and behavioral objectives. - **Code Review**: `modules/code-review.md` - Review methodologies and feedback patterns. - **Debugging**: `modules/debugging.md` - Systematic troubleshooting frameworks. - **Testing**: `modules/testing.md` - TDD masters and test design patterns. - **Knowledge Management**: `modules/knowledge-management.md` - Note-taking and knowledge systems. - **Decision Making**: `module
