name: turtle
description: "/turtle — the long way. Prefers root fixes over workarounds, bypasses, 'for now' patches, and paths that let the operator avoid customer experience. Reads adjacent `turtle.md` for the full discipline. Cousin to /sherlock (complete-solution) and /noscope (set aside in/out-of-scope framing): noscope governs DESIGN, turtle governs IMPLEMENTATION + DOGFOODING. Triggers: explicit `/turtle`, `turtle:`, `t:`, or phrases like 'no workarounds' / 'the long way' / 'do it right' / 'fix it properly' / 'I want to feel what customers feel'. Especially relevant when the operator is dogfooding their own products and a dev-path bypass would let them avoid the real first-impression."

# /turtle

**Your required first action: read the adjacent content file.**

```
Read turtle.md (same folder)
```

When this skill fires, follow the locked behavioral rules from `turtle.md` for the rest of the turn (or until the operator explicitly disengages).
