Field Guide
Route by the unknown blocking the user right now, then read and follow that skill. Unsure which: three quick questions — unfamiliar ground? decisions only the user can make? needs to see something? Enter at the current stage (an outside plan or spec counts as approved); don't re-run earlier stages. When several rows apply, drop rows their "Not for" clauses reject; take the earliest stage neither done nor explicitly skipped by the user (done: approval words, an artifact, or time phrasing — never route backwards past completed work). design-directions vs reference-hunt: a fork, not a sequence. Chained requests run each stage in order — never silently drop later parts. Mis-routed? Switch — "Not for" clauses decide; keep anything produced.
Routing table
| Stuck on | Skill |
|---|---|
| Nothing — no unknown blocks it; small task, clear path (没有未知数阻塞的小事) | none — just do the work |
| Unfamiliar area before starting; hidden pitfalls (unknown unknowns; 开工前不熟悉、怕有暗坑) | blindspot-pass |
| Known ambiguities the user must decide (known unknowns; 已知模糊点要用户拍板;"有不确定可以问我"不算) | interview-me |
| Can't say what they want but would recognize it; no concrete reference (说不出想要什么、看到能认出、无参照物) | design-directions |
| Has a concrete reference: "make it like that" (有具体参照物、要像它那样) | reference-hunt |
| Discussion converged, ready to build; reviewable plan first (讨论收敛要动手、先出可评审方案) | implementation-plan |
| Implementing an approved plan (按批准的方案实现中) | implementation-notes |
| Verify your own understanding of this change set before merging (合并前验证自己真懂、怕有没看出来的坑) | change-quiz |
| Quiz failed on a real defect (quiz 暴露实现有误) | fix + log in implementation-notes, re-quiz; plan wrong → implementation-plan |
| Persuade or explain to others after the work (说服不在环内的评审者、跟团队讲清楚这次改动;纯科普不算) | pitch-explainer |
Artifact contract (every skill in this family follows it)
interview-decisions.md,porting-checklist.md,implementation-plan.md,implementation-notes.md,change-report.html,pitch-<topic>.htmllive in the project root (in a monorepo: the affected package's root); prototypes live in./design-directions/. Parallel tasks: append a titled section (notes) or suffix the filename with a task slug.- Never commit artifacts unless the user explicitly asks (change-report.html: never); exclude them via each member skill's worktree-safe command; if that write fails, fall back to leaving them untracked and tell the user.
- Artifacts are caches: if one is lost, rebuild it from the session history or rerun its skill — never block on a missing artifact.
- Artifacts are written in the language of the conversation (pitch may follow the reviewer's language).
