Apply when wiring validation, error handling, or framework adapters. Concentrate guards at system boundaries (CLI, config, network, external APIs); trust internal types and keep business logic in pure functions.

Boundary Discipline

Place validation, type narrowing, and error handling at system boundaries. Trust internal code unconditionally. Business logic lives in pure functions; the shell is thin and mechanical.

Why: Scattered validation is noisy, redundant, and gives a false sense of safety. Validate data once at the boundary. Keep logic out of framework wiring so it can be tested without the framework.

The pattern:

  • At boundaries (CLI args, config files, external APIs, network protocols): validate, return errors, handle defensively.
  • Inside the system: typed data, error propagation, no re-validation. Trust the types.
  • Across the boundary. Expose domain concepts, not the boundary's private representation. Keep general-purpose mechanism inside and special-purpose policy at the edge.

Applications:

Validation and error handling:

  • Validate config at parse time (the boundary), not inside business logic
  • Parse raw data into domain types at the boundary
  • Do not re-export transport, storage, framework, or wire types through the public surface
  • No redundant nil checks deep in call chains if the boundary already validated

Code organization:

  • Business logic in pure functions with no framework dependencies
  • Parse functions: pure transforms from raw bytes to typed state
  • Prompt construction: structured state in, string out
  • Scoring and assessment: pure transforms from state to results

The tests:

  • "Is this data crossing a system boundary right now?" If not, validation is redundant.
  • "Can this be a pure function that the shell just calls?" If yes, extract it.

在 rove 仓库内跑 auto-motion——把 transcription.srt 拆成多段 MG 动画镜头并拼接成竖屏视频(storyboard 分镜 + theme.md 全片主题 + 逐镜头 claude -p 子进程 + ffmpeg 拼接)。本 skill 是薄 wrapper:解析 auto-motion 模板根,继承 rove 品牌 theme,执行逻辑以 auto-motion 仓库的 canonical SKILL.md 为准。当用户说"跑 auto-motion"、"把这个字幕稿/口播稿做成视频"、"给 rove 做一条 MG 宣传片"时使用。

Find what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.

Draft Rove release notes as Changesets. Writes user-facing entries as `.changeset/*.md` files for `@sma1lboy/rove` (consumed into `packages/rove/CHANGELOG.md` at release time). Use when the user asks for "changelog", "release notes", "what changed", "add a changeset", or before cutting a version. Enforces Rove's no-soft-wrap rule so GitHub release pages render flowing text.

Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.
