Create Dotfile

Scope

This skill owns DOT graph authoring and repair for Attractor pipelines.

In scope:

• Turning requirements/spec/DoD into a runnable .dot graph.
• Defining topology, node prompts, routing, model assignments, and validation behavior.
• Enforcing DOT-specific guardrails and validator compatibility.

Out of scope:

• Run config (run.yaml / run.json) authoring and backend policy details. Use create-runfile for that.

Overview

Core principle:

• Prefer validated template topology over ad-hoc graph design.
• Compose prompt text from project evidence; do not copy stale boilerplate.
• Optimize for reliable execution and recoverability, not novelty.
