What this skill does

Ask Matt You don't remember every skill, so ask. A flow is a path through the skills. Most paths run along one main flow, and two on-ramps merge onto it. Everything else is standalone, or a vocabulary layer that runs underneath. The main flow: idea → ship The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built. 1. /grill-with-docs — sharpen the idea by interview. Start here when you have a codebase: it's stateful, retaining what it learns in CONTEXT.md and ADRs. (No codebase? Use /grill-me — see Standalone. Both run the same /grilling primitive; grill-with-docs is the one that leaves a paper trail.) 2. Branch — can you settle every question in conversation? If a question needs a runnable answer (state, business logic, a UI you have to see), detour through a prototype, bridged by /handoff in both directions (see Crossing sessions): /handoff out, then open a fresh session against that file, /prototype to answer the question with throwaway code, /handoff back what you learned, and reference it from the original idea thread. 3. Branch — is this a multi-session build? Yes → /to-prd (turn the thread into a PRD) → /to-issues (split the PRD into independently-grabbable issues). Because the issues are independent, clear context between each one: start a fresh session per issue and kick off /implement by passing it the PRD and the single issue to work on. No → /implement right here, in the same context window. Either way, /implement builds each issue by driving /tdd internally — one red-green slice at a time — then closes out by running /code-review, a two-axis review (Standards + Spec) of the diff, before committing. Reach for /tdd on its own when you just want to build a concrete behaviour test-first without a full spec, and /code-review on its own whenever you want to review a branch or PR against a fixed point. …
