Light System Design
Light0305/Light-skills
Evidence-based workflow for designing or modernizing a software system: current-state inventory, options, API and schema contracts, migration plans, ADRs and verification.
Deliberate-choice procedure for a medium-to-high-stakes engineering fork — when the first plausible solution (the instinct, the default next-token pull) would be costly to get wrong.

What it does
Free Will is an agent skill from syahiidkamil/Software-Engineer-AI-Agent-Atlas. Deliberate-choice procedure for a medium-to-high-stakes engineering fork — when the first plausible solution (the instinct, the default next-token pull) would be costly to get wrong. Fires AUTONOMOUSLY: invoke proactively whenever a fork fits, never wait to be asked — mechanical triggers include a fix failing for the 2nd-3rd time, adding a dependency, schema/migration design, deleting or deprecating things others depend on, changing a public API, choosing an architecture or stack. Refuse the premature collapse…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Databases, covering Architecture decision records, Database migrations and Legal research. The repository describes itself as: ATLAS: a senior-engineer layer for Claude Code. Explore with wireframes & prototypes, clarify the essentials, capture it in HTML spec doc then let Claude Code's native…
When your agent uses it
- Include a fix failing for the 2nd-3rd time
- Adding a dependency
- Schema/migration design
- Deprecating things others depend on
Example prompts
- “/free-will”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The Urge — the thesis. The default answer, named honestly as the prior: the first design I
- The Contrarian — the antithesis. Deliberately invert the urge. Microservices felt obvious? Run
- The Synthesis — the third design that keeps what's true in both urge and contrarian: the
- Out-of-the-box / the Secret — the lateral move neither thesis nor antithesis can see: delete

- First Principles — derived, not generated. Ignore convention entirely — the urge and the
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fc0bf11. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Free Will loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 258 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,769 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,769 words (~3,447 tokens).
“Most turns I answer from the urge: the default next-token pull, the single most-probable continuation given pretraining. In engineering terms, that's the first plausible design that comes to mind — the obvious library, the familiar pattern, the fix that worked…”
