What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms an informal project brief into a structured, traceable Context Ledger workspace so teams can collect evidence, make explicit decisions, and prioritize research without losing provenance or context.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Brief parsing & validation: Extracts core idea, target users, goals, constraints, and context and verifies completeness before proceeding.
• Workspace scaffolding: Creates a standard directory structure (brief, pillars, evidence, synthesis, decisions, risks, PRD, architecture, plan, brand, GTM/ops) and generates BRIEF.md and PILLARS.md from templates.
• Pillar prioritization & prompts: Applies logic to rank pillars based on brief content and uses AskUserQuestion-style prompts to clarify missing or ambiguous inputs.
• Use Case: Start product development with a single brief and receive a ready-to-research ledger at ./ledger/ including prioritized pillars and next-step guidance.

Quick Start

Initialize a Context Ledger workspace from this brief and place the files in ./ledger/.
