SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a repository contains many skills, it is hard to remember which one fits the current situation. This Skill acts as a router: describe where you are (a vague idea, a bug, a pile of incoming requests, a huge foggy project) and it maps you to the right skill or flow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Main flow routing: Maps the standard idea-to-ship path through grilling, prototyping, spec writing, ticket splitting, implementation, and code review. - On-ramp selection: Directs bugs to diagnosis, incoming requests to triage, and large foggy efforts to a decision-mapping flow. - Phase boundary guidance: Provides an ordered decision tree for choosing between continue, clear, handoff, subagent, or compact at the end of a work phase. - Use Case: You have a half-formed feature idea and a working repo. Ask which skill fits, and you are routed to the stateful grilling flow that sharpens the idea and records decisions in CONTEXT.md before implementation begins. ## Quick Start Ask which skill fits your current situation, for example by describing that you have a vague feature idea in a working directory and want to know where to start.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right skill for my current task?▼

Describe your situation in plain terms, such as a vague idea, a bug, or incoming requests, and the router maps it to a skill. Ideas go to the grilling flow, bugs to diagnosis, and raw incoming issues to triage.

What is the main flow from idea to shipped code?▼

The main flow runs grilling to sharpen the idea, then spec writing and ticket splitting for multi-session builds, then implementation per ticket with test-driven development, ending with a two-axis code review before committing.

When should I compact, clear, or hand off a session?▼

Decide only at a phase boundary using the ordered tree: continue if the next phase needs this context, clear if the context is irrelevant, hand off only for portability across harnesses or directories, use a subagent for AFK tasks, and compact otherwise.

When should I not use the triage flow?▼

Triage is only for issues you did not create, such as external bug reports and feature requests. Tickets produced by the ticket-splitting skill are already agent-ready and should go straight to implementation.

What flow fits a huge greenfield project too big for one session?▼

Use the wayfinder flow, which charts a shared map of decision tickets on the issue tracker and resolves them one at a time. When the map clears, it hands off to spec writing rather than building directly.
