📘 The Book — Itqan engineering skills

The complete guide: from first install to shipping real software with the suite — and how to remove it cleanly.

New here? Read in order: Introduction → Installation → Getting started — then jump to the skill you need below.

Part I — Foundations

Chapter	What you'll learn
1 · Introduction	What this is, why it exists, the philosophy of evidence-first engineering
2 · Installation & removal	Every install path, per-runtime enforcement, updating, and clean removal
3 · Getting started	Your first run, step by step: detection, gates, the workspace, your first commit approval

Part II — The 12 skills

The main flow — the idea→ship spine, in order:

Skill	One line
engineer	The whole lifecycle in one call — resumable, coordinates everything
define	Fuzzy idea → approved spec; owns schema & API-contract design
blueprint	Spec → risk-first, dependency-ordered task plan
construct	TDD build following your codebase's own patterns
verify	Evidence before "done"; root-cause before any fix
inspect	Senior five-axis code review — read-only, fresh eyes
release	Rollback-first shipping: staged rollout, GO/NO-GO, runbook

Shaping — decide before the flow starts: discover · design

Audits — judge what already exists: harden · assess

People: learn

Each page covers: what it is · how it works (diagram) · when to use it · worked examples · what you get · hand-offs · pro tips.

Part III — Mastery

Chapter	What you'll learn
4 · Playbooks	End-to-end scenarios: new app, production bug, PR review, multi-repo teams, UI features, security pass
5 · The conventions, explained	§1–§20 in human language — the workspace, ledger, gates, memory, git policy
6 · FAQ & troubleshooting	Node errors, update/remove per platform, "why is it asking me that?"
