manifold

Backward reasoning from desired outcome. Derives required conditions by asking 'What must be TRUE?'

Verify ALL artifacts against ALL constraints. Produces a verification matrix showing coverage and gaps

Light mode: 3-phase workflow for simple changes. Use instead of full workflow for bug fixes, small features, or quick iterations.

Generate parallel execution plan from constraint network. Identifies waves, critical path, and bidirectional dependencies

Initialize a constraint manifold for a feature. Creates .manifold/<feature>.json + .manifold/<feature>.md

Interview-driven constraint discovery across 5 categories (business, technical, UX, security, operational)

Surface and resolve constraint conflicts (trade-offs). Identifies direct conflicts, resource tensions, and competing requirements

Generate ALL artifact types from the constraint manifold in one coordinated run - code, tests, docs, runbooks, alerts

Wire generated artifacts together. Identifies integration points and produces actionable wiring checklist

Show current Manifold state, constraint summary, workflow progress, and next recommended action. Use when the user asks for Manifold status, asks "what phase am I in", asks what to do next on a Manifold feature, or runs /manifold-status.

Show current Manifold state, constraint summary, workflow progress, and next action

PRD generation module for m4-generate — loaded on demand when --prd flag is used

User story generation module for m4-generate — loaded on demand when --stories flag is used

Execute tasks in parallel using git worktrees. Analyzes dependencies and file overlaps to safely parallelize independent tasks.

Constraint-first development framework overview. USE WHEN learning about Manifold or checking available commands. Individual commands are separate skills - use /manifold:m0-init, /manifold:m1-constrain, etc. directly.

Preserve Manifold constraint state for context retention. Reads .manifold/ directory and outputs a summary of current features, phases, constraints, tensions, and next actions. Use this skill when resuming work or before starting a new phase.

Analyze current tasks and suggest parallelization opportunities. Examines task descriptions for file overlap and dependency patterns to recommend safe parallel execution groups. Use when planning multi-task work.
