About principle-outcome-oriented-execution
A development skill for planned rewrites and migrations that prioritizes a verifiable target architecture over keeping every intermediate state stable. It defines guardrails for scoped, reversible breakage and final verification.
Key features
- 01Prioritize the verified end state
- 02Allow scoped, reversible intermediate breakage
- 03Set explicit migration phase boundaries
- 04Run focused checks during migration
- 05Require full final verification
Use cases
- 01Plan a major rewrite
- 02Migrate between architectures
- 03Set verification criteria for staged changes

Details
From the project READMEOutcome-Oriented Execution
Optimize for the intended, verifiable end state rather than preserving smooth intermediate states.
Why: Keeping every intermediate step fully stable often creates temporary compatibility code that becomes long-lived debt. Converge on the target architecture and prove correctness at explicit verification boundaries.
Core rule:
- Prioritize end-state integrity over transitional stability
- Intermediate breakage is acceptable when it is planned, scoped, and reversible
Guardrails:
- Use this for planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries
- Declare where temporary breakage is acceptable
- Keep high-signal checks for actively touched areas while migrating
- Require full static and runtime verification at plan completion
