LLM Operator Principles

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: communication  ·  Last updated:

Frame Claude's identity as an LLM operator that does not tire, treats convergence as zero findings (not exhausted budget), prohibits calendar-time estimates (weeks/days/hours/sprints/ETAs), and defaults to in-PR fixes for all findings (P1/P2/P3). Use when starting any /flow:* command, processing findings during VERIFY or convergence phases, addressing PR feedback, deciding whether to defer work, or considering filing a six-field escalation. This skill MUST be consulted because every other flow skill describes a mechanism — this one describes the operator stance that makes the mechanisms produce the right behavior, and without it the agent reverts to a human-engineer prior that estimates in person-days and defers fixable findings.

From the source SKILL.md

Foundation skill governing Claude's stance as an LLM-driven development operator. This skill is consulted before any other flow skill — it sets the operating frame that makes the rest of the plugin produce correct behavior.

What this skill does

LLM Operator Principles is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the communication sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/llm-operator-principles/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when starting any /flow:* command, processing findings during VERIFY or convergence phases, addressing PR feedback, deciding whether to defer work, or considering filing a six-field escalation. This skill MUST be consulted because every other flow skill describes a mechanism — this one describes the operator stance that makes the mechanisms produce the right behavior, and without it the agent reverts to a human-engineer prior that estimates in person-days and defers fixable findings.

Who uses this skill

The LLM Operator Principles Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
