autonomous-roundtable

Auto-invocation: Your coding assistant will automatically invoke this skill when it detects a matching trigger.

DEPRECATED: This skill has been absorbed into the develop skill. Use develop instead. The capabilities of autonomous-roundtable (project decomposition, roundtable gating, reflexion on ITERATE) are now available through develop's dialectic_mode and token_enforcement preferences. Set dialectic_mode to "roundtable" in Phase 0.4 for equivalent behavior.

# Autonomous Roundtable (Deprecated)

<CRITICAL>
This skill is deprecated. Its functionality has been absorbed into the `develop` skill.

**Migration:**
- Project decomposition: Use develop with COMPLEX tier (automatic work item decomposition)
- Roundtable validation: Set `dialectic_mode: "roundtable"` in Phase 0.4 preferences
- Token enforcement: Set `token_enforcement: "gate_level"` or `"every_step"` in Phase 0.4
- Reflexion on ITERATE: Still invoked automatically by develop when roundtable returns ITERATE

**To use:** Invoke the `develop` skill instead. Configure dialectic preferences in Phase 0.4.
</CRITICAL>

## Invariant Principles

1. **Deprecated** - Do not use this skill. Use `develop` instead.

<analysis>This skill is deprecated. Redirect to develop skill.</analysis>
<reflection>If invoked, redirect user to the develop skill with dialectic_mode: "roundtable".</reflection>
