Use when grounding a product in the real-world activity it serves and bounding its MVP before any screen, service, or architecture is drawn — at the G1.5 Domain & MVP point of the discovery loop, or standalone. Triggers on "frame the domain", "how is this activity really done", "ground this before we design", "what's in/out of the MVP", "draw the scope boundary", "is this scope creep". Produces two typed artifacts from one research-grounded pass — Domain Framing (real-world-activity grounding...

Use when shaping a piece of product work before it becomes a spec — turning an idea, a request, or a strategy into a level-tagged `intent` (an outcome + the opportunity behind it). Triggers on "shape this", "what's the intent here", "frame the problem", "before we build X", "turn this into a brief/PRD". Authors an `intent` at any altitude in the open recognized set — product-vision, product-strategy, capability, or feature — resolves Scale (app ↔ business-unit) at intake, and offers current-s...

Use when holding a raw signal (market observation, OKR gap, user pain pattern, engineering finding, competitive signal) at initiative or capability level — turning it into a typed finding, a Wardley capability maturity assessment, and an anchor into the PE six-step shaping sequence. Triggers on "frame this situation", "what do we do with this signal", "is this an opportunity or a risk", "where should we start", "map this to the shaping sequence". Do NOT use for a feature-scoped request (use `...

Use at step 2 of the PE shaping sequence — or directly from a free-form problem description — to surface all JTBD jobs (functional, emotional, social) behind an opportunity area, score each via the Ulwick formula, and produce a ranked `opportunity-assessment.md` artifact. Triggers on "map the jobs", "what do users need", "identify opportunities", "score the opportunity", "step 2 shaping". Do NOT use when a bet is already committed to a solution (use `place-bet`) or when the input is an unclas...

Use when a product engineer or PM is ready to produce an initiative brief through an adapted Lean Canvas elicitation — after the PE shaping sequence or as a standalone exercise. Triggers on "lean canvas", "initiative brief", "canvas this initiative", "author initiative brief". Do NOT use for a feature-scoped request (use `frame-intent`) or for individual shaping steps (use `frame-situation`, `place-bet`, etc.).

Step 6 (terminal) of the PE six-step shaping sequence. Translates a committed bet into a Capability Map — L1 domain organisation, Wardley × strategic-criticality annotation, Build/Buy/Partner/Adopt disposition, and a Build-only suggested build sequence anchoring M3–M6 spec-writing. Run after `place-bet`. Triggers on "map our capabilities", "what do we need to build", "what's our build/buy split", "capability areas for this bet". Do NOT use for a single feature (use `frame-intent`) or to autho...

Step 5 of the PE six-step shaping sequence — the bet-commitment gate. Reads a diverge-solutions artifact if present (offers to run it first if absent); accepts options from any source; folds in validation-notes when available; emits bet.md with the full betting table anchoring map-capabilities. Do NOT use to generate options (use diverge-solutions or explore-options) or validate assumptions (use de-risk-intent).

Use to turn a converged product's load-bearing assumptions into a validation plan — and to scaffold the primary-research instruments that would test them. Triggers on "plan the validation", "how do we validate these assumptions", "turn assumptions into a validation plan", "scaffold an interview guide / usability test", "what would confirm this". Produces assumption → kill-condition → real-world-activity hooks and the instrument scaffolds (interview guide, usability-test plan, transcript-synth...

Use when shaping the actual words a user reads in a product's UI — characterizing the UI copy voice (how the brand register applies to UI states), writing recurring UI-state microcopy (error, empty, button, label), or reviewing copy before it ships. Triggers on "what should this error say", "write the empty-state copy", "name this button", "characterize our product's UI copy voice", "make this microcopy blame-free", "review this copy". Characterizes voice along a few axes, writes each UI stat...

Use when a strategist needs to set the organizational content direction before content design begins — the governance and structural layer above per-surface content execution. Triggers on "define the content strategy", "I need to set the content strategy before content design", "content governance framework", "Halvorson content strategy", "Purpose Process Structure Governance". Produces a committed content-strategy.md. Do NOT use to write per-surface content or microcopy — that belongs to the...

Use when a strategist needs to set the experience direction before design begins — the bridge between business goals and what the designed product must achieve. Triggers on "define the UX strategy", "I need to set the experience strategy before design", "what should our UX strategy be", "align design to business goals", "set the experience vision". Produces a committed ux-strategy.md. Do NOT use to produce a customer journey map — that belongs to journey-mapping in the experience-design pack.

Use when a strategist needs to assess portfolio position and derive investment priorities across multiple products or business units. Triggers on "run a BCG matrix", "I need to assess portfolio position", "portfolio growth-share analysis", "which products should we invest in or cut", "star cash cow dog question mark". Produces a committed portfolio-position artifact. Do NOT use for single-product strategy — BCG requires at least two offerings to compare relative market share.

Use when a strategist needs to cascade company OKRs to team level and identify strategic gaps for the product-engineering shaping queue. Triggers on "run an OKR cascade", "I need to cascade company OKRs", "align team OKRs to company goals", "identify OKR gaps", "what are we missing to hit our objectives". Produces okr-cascade.md and workspace.toml shaping-queue entries. Do NOT use for per-feature goal-setting — cascade is org-wide alignment, not product backlog prioritization.

Use when a strategist needs to scan the macro environment before setting strategy or evaluating market entry. Triggers on "run a PESTLE", "I need to understand the macro environment", "political economic social analysis", "macro scan", "what external forces affect us". Produces a committed macro-environment artifact. Do NOT use as a substitute for current intelligence — PESTLE organizes and prioritizes information you supply; it does not generate market research.

Use when a strategist needs to understand the competitive dynamics of an industry before setting market positioning. Triggers on "run Porter's Five Forces", "I need to understand the competitive landscape", "map industry attractiveness", "how competitive is this market", "supplier and buyer power analysis". Produces a committed competitive-landscape artifact. Do NOT use for individual competitor profiling — this is an industry-structure analysis, not a competitor teardown.

Use when a strategist needs a structured situation synthesis before committing to a strategic direction. Triggers on "run a SWOT", "I need to understand our position", "situation synthesis before setting strategy", "what are our strengths and weaknesses", "map out opportunities and threats". Produces a committed SWOT artifact. Do NOT use as a substitute for market data — SWOT organizes what you know; it does not generate evidence you don't have.

Use when a strategist needs to turn existing stakeholder research into a strategic narrative organized by theme. Triggers on "synthesize stakeholder research", "I need to turn research into strategic direction", "what does the research tell us strategically", "consolidate stakeholder perspectives", "research synthesis for strategy". Requires existing research inputs — surfaces a diagnostic when none are found. Do NOT use to conduct research — this skill synthesizes; it does not interview, sur...

Use when a strategist needs to write the press release before the product exists — an altitude-0 forcing function that surfaces what the product must be before any engineering begins. Triggers on "write a PRFAQ", "I need to write the press release before the product", "altitude-0 forcing function", "press release FAQ format", "Amazon PRFAQ". Produces a committed prfaq.md. Do NOT use as a product spec or backlog — PRFAQ is a direction artifact, not an implementation contract.

Use to author a Service Level Objective (SLO) document for a service in the release-engineering pack. Produces an OpenSLO v1 YAML file committed to `slos/<service>.yaml`, with an error_budget_policy block, that the release-loop's PRR gate reads to resolve the error-budget status field. Triggers on \"define SLOs for this service\", \"author an SLO\", \"set up error budget tracking\", \"create a reliability target\", \"we need an SLO document\", \"the PRR shows error-budget: not-defined\". Do N...

Use to drive the deployed end-to-end validation outer loop — deploy the integrated whole to an ephemeral environment, run e2e, observe telemetry, feed deployed findings back to work-loop's inner loop, redeploy, and iterate until the deployed whole converges, then stop at the human consent gate for the prod ship. Run by the release-lead agent (a peer of work-loop's supervisor, not a work-loop mode). Triggers on "run the release loop", "deploy the integrated whole and iterate", "ship it to an e...

Create or substantially revise user guides, pack pages, and journey pages using Diátaxis plus conversation-first UX. Use when asked to write, simplify, restructure, audit, or modernize tutorials, how-to guides, reference pages, explanations, pack pages, or journey pages so readers can start from a natural-language goal, see what to say, understand what happens next, and reach an outcome without learning internal skill names first. Do NOT use for feature contracts (use `new-spec`), cross-cutti...
