Drive and read Ionwake's `__ionwake*` window instrumentation hooks (`__ionwakeScene` on /play, `__ionwakeShipyard` on /shipyard, and the dev-only `__ionwake` debug flags) from outside the page via the Chrome DevTools MCP. Use to read live sim/scene/clock state, screenshot the running app, drive the shipyard, load ship models, inspect a ship schema, log the WebTransport wire, or keep a backgrounded tab stepping.
Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
Reference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.
Interview the user relentlessly about a game design concept or design until reaching shared understanding, stress-testing the concept and resolving each branch of the decision tree.
A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go.
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan before building, or uses any 'grill' trigger phrases.

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.
The route most work travels. You have an idea and want it built.
/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.)/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./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./implement right here, in the same context window.Keep steps 1–3 in one unbroken context window — don't compact or clear until after /to-issues — so the grilling, PRD, and issues all build on the same thinking. Each /implement then starts fresh, working from the issue.
The limit on this is the smart zone: the window (~120k tokens on state-of-the-art models) within which the model still reasons sharply. If a session approaches it before /to-issues, don't push on degraded — /handoff and continue in a fresh thread.
A starting situation that generates work, then merges onto the main flow.
Bugs and requests piling up → /triage. It moves issues through triage roles and produces agent-ready issues, which /implement later picks up.
Triage is only for issues you didn't create — bug reports, incoming feature requests, anything that arrives raw. Issues that /to-issues produced are already agent-ready, so don't triage them.
Not feature work — upkeep.
/improve-codebase-architecture — run whenever you have a spare moment to keep the codebase good for agents to operate in. It surfaces deepening opportunities; picking one generates an idea you can take into the main flow at /grill-with-docs./handoff — when a thread is full or you need to branch off (e.g. into a /prototype session), this compacts the conversation into a markdown file. You don't continue in place — you open a new session and reference that file to carry the context across. It's the bridge between context windows, in either direction. Use it when you want a fresh session but need the current conversation preserved./compact (built-in) — stay in the same conversation, letting the earlier turns be summarized. Use it at intentional breaks between phases, when you don't mind losing the verbatim history. Don't compact mid-phase — the agent can lose its way. /handoff forks; /compact continues.Off the main flow entirely.
/grill-me — the same relentless interview as /grill-with-docs, but for when you have no codebase. Stateless: it saves nothing locally, builds no CONTEXT.md. Reach for it to sharpen any plan or design that doesn't live in a repo./teach — learn a concept over multiple sessions, using the current directory as a stateful workspace./writing-great-skills — reference for writing and editing skills well./setup-matt-pocock-skills — run before your first engineering flow to configure the issue tracker, triage labels, and doc layout the other skills assume. Custom issue trackers also work.
