The smallest safe route
Small edits run directly. Method skills and review join only when they add information or reduce risk.
maestria
Give your coding agent a team.
Method skills for recon, design, and diagnosis in the main loop, plus independent review, called in only when a task needs them. One method for OpenCode, Pi, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.
Make every step intentional.
Pick a task. The main loop adds method skills and review only when they add information or reduce risk.
TaskAdd rate limiting to the upload API
- Main loop: Investigate, plan, implement
- Reviewer: Approved
Unfamiliar code with real trade-offs: method skills earn their place, then an independent check.
TaskUploads over 10 MB fail without an error
- Main loop: Root cause + fix
- Reviewer: Approved
Root cause first with diagnose, then the fix, then a review by someone who did not write it.
TaskDocument the new retry option
- Main loop: Updated guide
- Reviewer: Approved
The main loop works from the source of truth; the reviewer checks it against the code.
TaskFix a typo in the README
- Main loop: Done directly
Known, low-risk work: the main loop does it directly. No review needed.
An agent that plans, builds, and grades its own work will approve its own mistakes. maestria separates the maker from the checker, hands context forward in structured briefs, and keeps each route as short as the task allows.
A second pair of eyes
The implementer never approves its own work. A reviewer who did not write it checks every meaningful change.
One method, native tools
The same method and rules on every host, built on each tool's own agents, skills, and plugins.

Each role has one job, one handoff, and one rule it never breaks. Read the full reference
