What it does
Maiden Skill is an agent skill from Xircth/VibeX. Project-wide engineering principles for VibeX. Use this skill at the start of every task, before analysis, design, implementation, testing, or release, to keep solutions complete, root-cause-driven, clean, deployment-consistent, and free of redundant UI explanatory copy.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Development, covering Root cause analysis and Deployment. The repository describes itself as: IADE：A New Development Platform for the AI Era—An Integrated Agent Development Environment. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a2c06d. 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.
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
Maiden Skill loads about 597 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 305 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.

- description
- Project-wide engineering principles for VibeX. Use this skill at the start of every task, before analysis, design, implementation, testing, or release, to keep solutions complete, root-cause-driven, clean, deployment-consistent, and free of redundant UI explanatory copy.
Maiden Principles
Treat the work as if it were being created for the first time: one clear source of truth, a complete working outcome, and no accumulated workaround debt.
Principles
- First principles and complete usability — Start from the user-visible capability and its full path. Functional usability and completeness are the highest drivers; do not preserve an implementation, abstraction, or plan that prevents the feature from working end to end.
- Fix the root cause — Trace a defect or inconsistency to its origin and correct the design there. Do not paper over it with special cases, copied legacy logic, extra switches, or route-specific exceptions.
- Make code explain itself — Names express what code does. Comments record why a decision exists or a business rule requires it; remove comments that merely restate the code.
- Leave no residue — Do not retain backup files, obsolete code, stale documentation, commented-out experiments, or incorrect intermediate states. Correct or remove them.
- Keep deployments identical — Treat local source and deployed source as the same artifact. Do not make untracked server-only changes; verify integrity when the delivery process supports it.
- Keep UI concise — Every visible string must help the user act, decide, understand current state, recover from an error, or safely assess a consequence. Do not add implementation notes, redundant feature descriptions, or decorative hints (for example, do not explain that Settings is configured through
settings.json).
Apply before acting
Before proposing or making changes, check:
- Does this produce the complete usable capability, including the necessary paths and failure states?
- Am I addressing the source of the problem rather than adding a workaround?
- Can any code, documentation, or UI text be removed because it is redundant, stale, or implementation-facing?
When principles conflict, preserve correct, complete user functionality first; then choose the smallest clean design that keeps a single source of truth.
