enforces engineering-governance checks before code changes that may be unnecessary, risky, architectural, or scope-widening. use when the user asks whether to refactor, clean up, redesign, choose a next development step, review a proposed implementation, evaluate architectural consistency, review a pull request, or prevent development drift. do not use as the primary implementation skill for routine debugging, bug fixes, feature coding, or language-specific coding unless a no-op, minimal-diff, or architecture-conflict judgment is needed.
