# Advanced Topics

This document captures advanced considerations for evolving the skill system.

---

## Versioning

- Keep the SSOT contract versionable:
  - `/.system/skills/ssot/**/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` front matter fields (`name`, `description`)
  - `scripts/devops/skills/sync_skills.py` behavior and emitted wrapper format
- Prefer additive changes; treat renames/removals as breaking (skills are user-facing identifiers).

---

## Dependencies and composition

Some skills naturally depend on others (e.g., backend patterns often depend on error tracking).

If dependencies are modeled:
- Keep them explicit and minimal
- Avoid deep dependency chains

---

## Governance

- Skills should stay narrow and composable.
- Large topics should be split into resources, not monolith docs.
- Add alignment docs to clarify boundaries between overlapping skills/workflows.
