+  Orchestrates design workflows by routing work through
+  brainstorming, multi-agent review, and execution readiness
+  in the correct order. Prevents premature implementation,
+  skipped validation, and unreviewed high-risk designs.

+
+# Design Orchestration (Meta-Skill)
+
+## Purpose
+
+Ensure that **ideas become designs**, **designs are reviewed**, and
+**only validated designs reach implementation**.
+
+This skill does not generate designs.
+It **controls the flow between other skills**.
+
+---
+
+## Operating Model
+
+This is a **routing and enforcement skill**, not a creative one.
+
+It decides:
+- which skill must run next
+- whether escalation is required
+- whether execution is permitted
+
+---
+
+## Controlled Skills
+
+This meta-skill coordinates the following:
+
+- `brainstorming` — design generation
+- `multi-agent-brainstorming` — design validation
+- downstream implementation or planning skills
+
+---
+
+## Entry Conditions
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+- a user proposes a new feature, system, or change
+- a design decision carries meaningful risk
+- correctness matters more than speed
+
+---
+
+## Routing Logic
+
+### Step 1 — Brainstorming (Mandatory)
+
+If no validated design exists:
+
+- Invoke `brainstorming`
+- Require:
+  - Understanding Lock
+  - Initial Design
+  - Decision Log started
+
+You may NOT proceed without these artifacts.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2 — Risk Assessment
+
+After brainstorming completes, classify the design as:
+
+- **Low risk**
+- **Moderate risk**
+- **High risk**
+
+Use factors such as:
+- user impact
+- irreversibility
+- operational cost
+- complexity
+- uncertainty
+- novelty
+
+---
+
+### Step 3 — Conditional Escalation
+
+- **Low risk**  
+  → Proceed to implementation planning
+
+- **Moderate risk**  
+  → Recommend `multi-agent-brainstorming`
+
+- **High risk**  
+  → REQUIRE `multi-agent-brainstorming`
+
+Skipping escalation when required is prohibited.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4 — Multi-Agent Review (If Invoked)
+
+If `multi-agent-brainstorming` is run:
+
+Require:
+- completed Understanding Lock
+- current Design
+- Decision Log
+
+Do NOT allow:
+- new ideation
+- scope expansion
+- reopening problem definition
+
+Only critique, revision, and decision resolution are allowed.
+
+---
+
+### Step 5 — Execution Readiness Check
+
+Before allowing implementation:
+
+Confirm:
+- design is approved (single-agent or multi-agent)
+- Decision Log is complete
+- major assumptions are documented
+- known risks are acknowledged
+
+If any condition fails:
+- block execution
+- return to the appropriate skill
+
+---
+
+## Enforcement Rules
+
+- Do NOT allow implementation without a validated design
+- Do NOT allow skipping required review
+- Do NOT allow silent escalation or de-escalation
+- Do NOT merge design and implementation phases
+
+---
+
+## Exit Conditions
+
+This meta-skill exits ONLY when:
+- the next step is explicitly identified, AND
+- all required prior steps are complete
+
+Possible exits:
+- “Proceed to implementation planning”
+- “Run multi-agent-brainstorming”
+- “Return to brainstorming for clarification”
+- "If a reviewed design reports a final disposition of APPROVED, REVISE, or REJECT, you MUST route the workflow accordingly and state the chosen next step explicitly."
+---
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+This skill exists to:
+- slow down the right decisions
+- speed up the right execution
+- prevent costly mistakes
+
+Good systems fail early.
+Bad systems fail in production.
+
+This meta-skill exists to enforce the former.
