SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Teams often justify work with product slogans or autonomy claims that lack measurable value evidence. This Skill forces every planning, release, or autonomy decision through the InfoQ Rohrer value-center / VSM five questions and blocks decisions that fail the gate. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Question VSM Audit: Answers value, coordinate, fit, out-there, and who-we-are questions for the current task. - Deterministic Gate Script: Runs scripts/value_center_gate.py --json to fail closed on product-only slogans without WQTU or paywall evidence. - Dependency Classification: Separates essential from accidental dependencies and drops accidental paid or plugin installs. - Use Case: Before shipping a release, run the gate to verify the charter cites live PostHog WQTU or paywall metrics rather than autonomy slogans. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the value-center gate on the current release plan and report whether it passes the WQTU and paywall evidence checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run the value-center gate check?▼

Run `python3 scripts/value_center_gate.py --json` from the repository root to get a JSON verdict. You can also execute the test suite with `PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m pytest scripts/tests/test_value_center_gate.py -q` to validate gate behavior.

What are the five VSM questions in value-center analysis?▼

The five questions cover value, coordinate, fit, out-there, and who-we-are for the current task. The Skill answers each one before allowing planning or release decisions to proceed.

Why does the gate block with block_product_not_value?▼

The block_product_not_value error means the charter value statement lacks measurable evidence. Rewrite it to include WQTU, paywall, or $100/day metrics so the decision is grounded in product value rather than slogans.

How do I fix the block_autonomy_slogan error?▼

The block_autonomy_slogan error triggers when work is justified with autonomous-team slogans. Set the mode to agency_and_coherence so the claim reflects agency plus coherence instead of empty autonomy language.

Does the value-center gate require paid services?▼

No, the gate is pure Python fitness checking with zero new SaaS spend. It classifies dependencies as essential versus accidental and drops accidental paid or plugin installs.
