What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Turn broad, ambitious, or messy ideas into the smallest useful product slice with a target repo, agent chain, acceptance gate, and verification plan. Use when the user is brainstorming, choosing what to build next, planning a prototype, converting notes into implementation work, or trying to avoid sprawling multi-repo work.

Route Idea To Slice
Use this skill when the idea is bigger than one edit. The output should be a buildable slice, not a grand strategy memo.
Intake
Capture only what matters:
- Goal: what should be true after this slice?
- User: who benefits first?
- Surface: app, extension, runtime, docs, demo, research, or automation?
- Repo: canonical local path, if known.
- Success signal: what proves the slice works?
- Risk: auth, approvals, filesystem writes, execution, external services, publishing, or dirty repos.
Phase Gates
| Phase | Output | Gate |
|---|---|---|
| 0. Intake | Idea brief | Goal, user, repo, and success signal named |
| 1. Scope | Product slice | Can be built and tested in one session |
| 2. Context | Evidence packet | Relevant files, docs, endpoints, and constraints listed |
| 3. Build | Working change | Runs locally with no unrelated churn |
| 4. Verify | Test report | Automated check plus one product smoke test |
| 5. Handoff | Product note | What changed, how to run, limits, next slice |
Routing Matrix
| Work Type | Path | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime or protocol | Scope -> Builder -> Verifier | Unit tests, contract tests, endpoint smoke |
| Browser extension | Scope -> Builder -> UI verifier | Build/test plus popup, side panel, or content-script smoke |
| Public demo | Scope -> Builder -> Design pass -> Verifier | Local server, screenshots, responsive check |
| Research experiment | Research -> Builder -> Verifier | Deterministic command, output artifact, methods note |
| Knowledge substrate | Research -> Scribe -> Verifier | Source-of-truth check, endpoint/doc alignment |
Output Contract
Return:
- lane
- canonical repo
- product slice
- non-goals
- files likely touched
- acceptance gate
- smoke test
- risks
- stop conditions
- best next slice
