Ask Ben

Use this when you forget which local skill fits Ben's work. Default: ship frontend/React/TypeScript/Go changes and skills repo releases with enforced TDD, review, resilience, visual proof, PR, CI, and installable plugin surfaces. Routes: product -> /development-lifecycle//work -> /go; bugs -> /diagnosing-bugs + /tdd; planning -> /grilling; huge, foggy work -> /wayfinder -> /to-spec; specs -> /to-spec -> /to-tickets; review -> /review (add --deep for release audits); UI/resilience -> /visual-review//resilience-review; parallel -> /swarm. Builder.io skills are both direct commands and under-the-hood helpers: /visual-plan, /visual-recap, /agent-watchdog, /efficient-frontier, /plan-arbiter, /plow-ahead, /read-the-damn-docs.
