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 that maps your situation to the right skill or multi-step flow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill routing: Describes the main flow from idea to ship (grill-with-docs, to-spec, to-tickets, implement) and when to enter it. - On-ramp guidance: Directs bug reports to triage, broken behavior to diagnosing-bugs, and large foggy efforts to wayfinder. - Phase boundary decisions: Explains when to continue, clear, handoff, use a subagent, or compact between work phases. - Use Case: You have a vague feature idea and a pile of bug reports; ask which skill to start with and get routed to triage for the bugs and grill-with-docs for the idea. ## Quick Start Ask which skill fits your current situation, for example by describing that you have an unshaped feature idea in a working directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about ask-matt

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

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

Describe your situation and this router maps it to a skill or flow. Ideas in a working directory go to grill-with-docs, incoming bug reports go to triage, and large foggy efforts go to wayfinder.

What is the main flow from idea to implementation?▼

The main flow runs grill-with-docs to sharpen the idea, then to-spec and to-tickets for multi-session builds, then implement per ticket. Single-session work goes straight from grilling to implement.

When should I use compact versus clear or handoff?▼

Use clear when the context is irrelevant to what comes next, handoff only when moving to a new harness, directory, or colleague, and compact as the default when the context stays relevant. Continue is always ruled out first since it costs nothing.

Should I triage tickets created by to-tickets?▼

No. Triage is only for issues you did not create, such as external bug reports and feature requests. Tickets produced by to-tickets are already agent-ready and go directly to implement.

When is wayfinder the wrong choice?▼

Wayfinder is only for huge, foggy efforts like greenfield projects where the path is not visible. For a well-scoped feature it is too slow and dense; use grill-with-docs and the main flow instead.
