Problem
The harden skill currently spans both YAGNI-approved substantive deliverables (research artifacts, grant sections, strategy docs) and YAGNI-violating-large spec/implementation plans. With the user's recent shift toward minimal spec/plan docs, applying the full harden cycle (web research + dual-pass audit + multi-iteration fix) to small spec/plan artifacts is increasingly disproportionate to the artifact size.
Source of truth for harden is this repo (mickeylorenzini/harden); dotclaude consumes a copy at skills/harden/. Any split happens upstream here first.
Proposed approach
Investigate splitting harden into two skills: (a) the existing harden retained for substantive deliverables (full cycle), (b) a new lightweight skill (working name TBD) for thin-slice spec/plan compliance check (single pass, structural-only, no web research). Defer until more in-flight friction with current single-skill harden is observed; this is a refinement, not an emergency.
