 Preserve Rust ownership, error, trait, feature, async runtime, unsafe, and public crate boundaries while making a focused change. A Rust change is successful only when it clarifies ownership and contracts, not when it merely silences the borrow checker.
 
+Rust's compiler feedback can be especially useful for AI-assisted work because it rejects many
+invalid states with concrete errors. That benefit has a real cost: compile time, target-directory
+growth, native toolchain setup, release-profile slowness, and smoke-target selection must be managed

 ## Procedure
 
-1. Read Cargo metadata, features, optional dependencies, docs.rs metadata, toolchain config, public exports, relevant modules, and tests.
+1. Read Cargo metadata, features, optional dependencies, docs.rs metadata, toolchain config, build profiles, public exports, relevant modules, and tests.
 2. Classify the change as ownership, API, error, feature, async, unsafe, dependency, or test-only.
-3. Resolve ownership problems in this order: identify the real owner, shrink borrow scopes, fix function signatures to accept references or slices when ownership is unnecessary, distinguish transfer from sharing, then consider clone or shared ownership only when the semantics require it.
-4. Before adding `clone`, verify it is a cheap handle clone such as `Arc`, `Rc`, or `Bytes`, a small intentional value clone, or a true independent ownership split. Reject large collection clones, loop clones, clone-then-borrow code, and whole-state clones made only to satisfy `spawn`.
-5. Before adding `Arc<Mutex<_>>`, verify multiple owners truly need shared mutable state. Keep critical sections short, document lock order when relevant, and do not hold a lock guard across `.await`, I/O, callbacks, or user code.
-6. Use explicit lifetimes only to describe real borrow relationships. Do not add `'static` or `T: 'static` to public APIs merely because an internal task boundary requires it.
-7. Use concrete error enums for library APIs when callers need to classify failures. Keep `Box<dyn Error>` mostly to binaries, examples, tests, prototypes, or explicitly opaque error policies.
-8. Avoid `unwrap` and vague `expect` in production paths. They are allowed only for tests, examples, startup policy, or invariants already proven by nearby code.
-9. If feature flags change, treat default features, no-default builds, all-features builds, optional dependency implicit features, public re-exports, docs examples, and feature-gated trait impls as compatibility surfaces. Features should be additive.
-10. Treat public re-exports, public dependency types, generic bounds, trait item sets, error enum variants, `#[non_exhaustive]`, and MSRV as public API. Tightened bounds, added required trait methods, removed re-exports, or changed error variants require compatibility review.
-11. Do not mix async runtimes. A Tokio crate should not casually gain `async-std` or runtime-specific APIs in library core. Do not call blocking I/O or CPU-heavy work in async paths without an established boundary such as async-native APIs, a blocking pool, or a dedicated worker.
-12. For async spawning, avoid leaking internal `Send + Sync + 'static` requirements into public APIs. Prefer owned task state, smaller spawn boundaries, local task structures, or caller-owned runtime decisions.
-13. Touch `unsafe` only when a safe design cannot express the required behavior. Every unsafe block needs a nearby `SAFETY:` explanation; every public `unsafe fn` needs `# Safety` docs. Keep unsafe scopes small and wrap them in safe abstractions only when callers have no hidden safety obligations.
-14. For FFI, keep Rust ABI types out of C boundaries. Use explicit ownership, `#[repr(C)]` where required, raw pointer plus length pairs, `CStr`/`CString`, RAII wrappers, null handling, panic boundaries, and documented thread-safety evidence before manual `Send` or `Sync`.
-15. Choose configured verification intents that cover format, lint, build, tests, feature combinations, docs, public API, unsafe, and FFI risk when available.
+3. Model the build loop before broad edits:
+   - identify the smallest package, crate, feature set, smoke target, or test that covers the risk;
+   - check whether `target/` or an equivalent cache may grow enough to affect local disk budget;
+   - treat cleaning build caches as a manual maintenance tradeoff because it can turn later
+     compile checks into cold, expensive builds;
+   - on Windows native targets, distinguish ordinary shells from developer toolchain shells when
+     MSVC, SDK, linker, or environment setup is required;
+   - treat VM builds, remote builders, release profiles, fat LTO, and whole-workspace checks as
+     environment and verification choices that must be reported when they dominate iteration cost.
+4. Resolve ownership problems in this order: identify the real owner, shrink borrow scopes, fix function signatures to accept references or slices when ownership is unnecessary, distinguish transfer from sharing, then consider clone or shared ownership only when the semantics require it.
+5. Before adding `clone`, verify it is a cheap handle clone such as `Arc`, `Rc`, or `Bytes`, a small intentional value clone, or a true independent ownership split. Reject large collection clones, loop clones, clone-then-borrow code, and whole-state clones made only to satisfy `spawn`.

+9. Avoid `unwrap`, vague `expect`, and unbounded `panic!` in production paths. They are allowed only for tests, examples, startup policy, panic-boundary adapters, or invariants already proven by nearby code.
+10. If feature flags change, treat default features, no-default builds, all-features builds, optional dependency implicit features, public re-exports, docs examples, and feature-gated trait impls as compatibility surfaces. Features should be additive.

+
+<!-- mustflow-section: purpose -->
+## Purpose
+
+Handle secret-looking exposure as an incident-style containment task instead of an ordinary security review or cosmetic redaction.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: use-when -->
+## Use When
+
+- A real or plausible API key, token, private key, password, session cookie, OAuth credential, service-account value, connection string, signing secret, webhook secret, certificate key, recovery code, or production-like credential appears.
+- Secret-looking material appears in tracked files, untracked files, generated artifacts, logs, command output, screenshots, fixtures, docs, templates, package output, cache, run receipts, or final reports.
+- A task asks to remove, redact, report, package, publish, screenshot, paste, or summarize content that includes possible credential material.
+- A previous command or tool output exposed sensitive values and the next response or edit could copy them further.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: do-not-use-when -->
+## Do Not Use When
+
+- The task only adds placeholder environment variable names or fake examples; use `config-env-change` for normal config work.
+- The task is a broad security review with no exposed or plausible credential value; use `security-privacy-review`.
+- The value is clearly non-secret test data and cannot be confused with a real credential after inspecting the surrounding context.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: required-inputs -->
+## Required Inputs
+
+- Exposure surface: file, generated artifact, command output, screenshot, docs, fixture, package output, cache, or final report.
+- Secret type if inferable without repeating the value.
+- Whether the surface is tracked, untracked, generated, public, packaged, ignored, local-only, or already shared outside the repository.
+- Scope of allowed remediation: redaction, deletion, placeholder replacement, docs rewrite, fixture rewrite, package-output cleanup, or report-only.
+- Whether rotation, revocation, history rewrite, provider dashboard action, or user action is required but outside the current command contract.
+- Relevant command-intent contract entries for status, diff, docs, package, release, or mustflow validation.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: preconditions -->
+## Preconditions
+
+- The task matches the Use When conditions and does not match the Do Not Use When exclusions.
+- Required inputs are available, or missing inputs can be reported without guessing.
+- Higher-priority instructions and `.mustflow/config/commands.toml` have been checked for the current scope.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: allowed-edits -->
+## Allowed Edits
+
+- Remove, redact, or replace exposed values with safe placeholders in in-scope files.
+- Update docs, fixtures, templates, tests, examples, generated-package inputs, or final-report wording to avoid re-exposure.
+- Add local fake-value conventions only where they prevent recurrence and match repository style.
+- Do not print, quote, copy, commit, push, publish, or package the secret value.
+- Do not rotate, revoke, rewrite Git history, delete backups, or contact providers unless the user explicitly requests that action and the repository contract supports it.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: procedure -->
+## Procedure
+
+1. Stop ordinary work long enough to contain copying. Do not repeat the secret value in messages, patches, logs, docs, or final reports.
+2. Classify the exposure surface without echoing the value: tracked file, untracked file, generated artifact, docs, fixture, package output, command output, screenshot, cache, run receipt, or final report.
+3. Determine whether the value is real, plausible, fake, or unknown from surrounding context without making a false safety claim.
+4. Remove or replace the value in in-scope repository files using a safe placeholder that cannot be mistaken for a real credential.
+5. Check nearby examples, docs, templates, fixtures, generated-package inputs, and final-report text for copied variants of the same value.
+6. If the value may have entered generated artifacts, package output, screenshots, run receipts, logs, or caches, report the affected surfaces and clean only those that are in scope and allowed.
+7. If the value may be real or already shared, report that rotation or revocation is required. Do not claim redaction alone fixes exposure.
+8. If the secret is tracked in Git history, report the history exposure and do not rewrite history unless explicitly requested.
+9. If the secret is outside the current repository or in a provider dashboard, stop at the boundary and describe the required owner action without revealing the value.
+10. Run the smallest configured verification that covers the changed docs, templates, package, or mustflow contract.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: postconditions -->
+## Postconditions
+
+- The secret value is not repeated in patches, docs, examples, package inputs, generated artifacts, or final reports.
+- In-scope repository surfaces no longer contain the exposed value.
+- Remaining rotation, revocation, history, package, cache, screenshot, or external-sharing risks are reported without revealing the value.
+- The final report distinguishes redaction from credential invalidation.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: verification -->
+## Verification
+
+Use configured oneshot command intents when available:
+
+- `changes_status`
+- `changes_diff_summary`
+- `docs_validate_fast`
+- `test_release`
+- `mustflow_check`
+
+Use a narrower configured test, build, package, or documentation intent when it better proves the changed exposure surface.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: failure-handling -->
+## Failure Handling
+
+- If the value might be real, treat it as real for reporting and avoid echoing it.
+- If remediation requires deleting generated artifacts, rewriting Git history, rotating provider keys, or changing external systems, stop at the approval boundary and report the required owner action.
+- If command output includes the value, summarize only the affected surface and never paste the raw output.
+- If a fixture genuinely needs a secret-shaped value, replace it with an unmistakable fake and document that it is non-functional.
+- If verification would reprint the secret, skip that command and report the reason.
+
+<!-- mustflow-section: output-format -->
+## Output Format
+
+- Exposure surfaces reviewed
+- Secret type classification without value
+- Redaction, omission, or placeholder changes made
+- Generated, package, docs, fixture, cache, log, screenshot, and final-report surfaces checked when relevant
+- Rotation, revocation, history, or external-owner actions still required

+5. Run the skill quality gate before accepting the draft: trigger is concrete, non-use boundaries are explicit, required inputs are observable, allowed edits are narrow, procedure steps are actionable, verification names configured intents, failure handling says what to do when evidence is missing, output format matches the evidence expected, overlap with nearby skills is controlled, and template impact is decided.
+6. Reject broad advice disguised as a skill. A skill should not say only "be careful", "write better tests", "sync docs", or "think about security" unless it names a repeatable trigger, source files to inspect, allowed edits, verification, and reporting evidence.
