name	spk-mission-types
description	Explain Spec Kitty mission types, step contracts, action indices, and when to choose each mission workflow.

spk-mission-types

Use this skill when the user asks which kind of mission to run or how mission types differ.

Workflow

1. Identify the requested work: software change, standalone planning, documentation, research, or custom/team workflow.
2. Compare available mission types before creating new process.
3. Use the legacy spec-kitty-mission-system skill for detailed step-contract, procedure, action-index, and template-resolution mechanics.

Boundary

Mission types define workflow behavior. Skills explain how to operate that behavior; they do not redefine the mission DAG.

Built-In Types

• software-dev: default feature/change workflow with tasks and WP iteration.
• research: evidence-gathering workflow before or during product decisions.
• plan: planning-only workflow.
• documentation: documentation-oriented workflow.
