- Single Responsibility - One Skill = One System + One Action
- Idempotency - Check first, configure only if needed
- No Hardcoding - Describe intent, not specific commands
- Prerequisite Check - Stop if conditions not met
- Clear Boundaries - Explicit about what it's NOT responsible for
- AI Empowerment - AI handles orchestration and exceptions
- Structured Format - Consistent template
- User Communication - Clear messages at every step

User: "I'm a new developer, set up everything I need"
AI executes:
β
Request development tools (sn-request-software)
β
Request system access (sn-request-ad-group)
β
Install approved software (swc-install-package)
β
Configure environments (env-configure-*)
Result: Complete dev environment in 1 hour vs 2 days
User: "I need Java for my project"
AI executes:
1. Check if Java already installed β No
2. Submit ServiceNow request β REQ0012345
3. Monitor approval status β Approved (2 days)
4. Install via Software Center β Done
5. Configure JAVA_HOME β Done
Result: Zero manual steps, fully automated
