System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams discover emergent prerequisites by modeling parent-child goal relationships and ensures work cannot be completed until blockers are resolved.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Nesting-based blocker discovery: Represent blockers as children under a goal to reveal dependencies.
  • Enforced completion order: Prevents completing a parent while any child remains incomplete.
  • Guided discovery via Mikado Method: Supports surfacing hidden prerequisites through active work.
  • Use Case: When a blocker is hit, add blockers as children and work deepest-first to unblock the parent.

Quick Start

Begin with a goal, then iteratively add blockers as children to reveal emergent prerequisites and enforce deepest-first work.
