Enforces strict C header hierarchies to prevent circular dependencies and isolate platform-specific leaks.
The Zireael Header Layering skill provides Claude with the architectural constraints necessary to maintain a deterministic C codebase. By enforcing a unidirectional dependency flow between utility, unicode, core, and platform layers, it ensures that engine logic remains OS-independent and avoids the complexity of circular includes. This skill is particularly useful for developers managing low-level system projects, porting C engines to new platforms, or maintaining stable ABI boundaries through fixed-width types and forward declarations.
