fulcrum

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

Use when the user invokes /spec, says "create a spec", "write a spec", "let's build X", "I want to add a feature", or when starting any feature work — both exploratory and well-defined tasks

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

Use when the user invokes /compound, says "capture learnings", "what did we learn", or when suggesting post-cycle knowledge capture after completing a development branch

Use when starting a session, generating specs or plans, reviewing code, or when the user asks about company coding standards, architecture patterns, security requirements, or testing conventions

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
