ask-matt

Describe your starting situation, such as a new idea, a bug report, or a broken feature, and the router maps it to the matching skill or flow. The main flow covers idea-to-ship work, while on-ramps handle triage, diagnosis, and large foggy efforts.

Both run the same interview primitive, but grill-with-docs is stateful and records findings in CONTEXT.md and ADRs inside a working directory. Use grill-me only when there is no repository to leave a paper trail in.

Compact when the context is still relevant, you are in the same harness and directory, and you need to stay in the loop. Clear only when everything in the session is disposable, since clearing relevant context loses the reasoning behind decisions.

Use handoff only when work must travel: a new harness, a new directory, a colleague, or a side task forked mid-phase. Use a subagent when a tightly scoped task can run unattended and report back within the same setup.

The router only points to skills that exist in the repository and relies on judgment calls at phase boundaries, which are not objective. It does not execute the underlying work itself; each routed skill must be invoked separately.
