kanban-flow-stinger

name	kanban-flow-stinger
description	Kanban method specialist: WIP limit design and enforcement, flow-metric calculation (cycle time, lead time, throughput, flow efficiency), Little's Law diagnostics, visual-board design, class-of-service policies, cumulative-flow-diagram interpretation, and tool-specific implementation (Linear, Jira, GitHub Projects). Use when the user says \\\\\\\"set up WIP limits\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"calculate cycle time\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"apply Little's Law\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"design our Kanban board\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"Kanban vs Scrum\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"our WIP is always exceeded\\\\\\\", \\\\\\\"why is our cycle time so long\\\\\\\", or when `kanban-flow-worker-bee` is invoked. Do NOT use for sprint ceremonies / velocity (Scrum domain, no peer Bee yet), CI/CD pipeline design (devops-worker-bee), database schema for a custom metrics store (db-worker-bee), or building custom Kanban tooling in code (react-worker-bee / python-worker-bee).

kanban-flow Stinger

The arsenal for kanban-flow-worker-bee. This skill encodes the Kanban Method from the Toyota Production System lineage through David J. Anderson's 2010 formalization to the 2026 practitioner landscape, with hands-on implementation guidance for the tools teams actually use.

When this stinger applies

Activate on any of:

• "Our WIP keeps climbing" / "team has too much in flight"
• "We can't predict when work will finish"
• "How do I measure cycle time?" / "what's our throughput?"
• "Apply Little's Law to our board"
