unknowns

Pre-merge comprehension gate that quizzes the USER on the riskiest parts of the branch diff. Use before merging or opening a PR, or when the user says "merge quiz", "am I ready to merge", or "quiz me on this diff".

Build a throwaway interactive prototype to validate one unresolved interaction or behavior before writing production code. Use when the user explicitly asks to "mock it up first" or "prototype this", or when competing UI behaviors need a disposable hands-on comparison.

Comprehension gate before porting, copying, or adapting an existing implementation. Proves understanding of the reference code before any new code is written. Use when the task is "port X", "copy how Y does it", "adapt Z", or reimplementing existing behavior.

Record a place where the code forced a deviation from the agreed plan. Use mid-implementation whenever reality contradicts the plan, or when the user says "log this deviation". The log feeds future planning and the merge quiz.

Lifecycle orchestrator for the unknowns plugin. Detects the current phase of work (pre-implementation, mid-implementation, pre-merge) and routes to the right technique skill. Use when the user says "/unknowns", "know my unknowns", or is unsure which unknowns skill applies.

Read-only reconnaissance pass over an unfamiliar codebase, system, or feature area to surface hidden risks before any code is written. Use when starting work in unfamiliar territory, before a risky change, or when the user says "blindspot pass", "what am I missing", or "scan for risks".
