This skill should be used when the user describes an observation, problem, or feature idea and wants end-to-end design and implementation. Triggers include "I notice...", "feature forge", "design and implement this", "hive-mind PRD", "end-to-end feature", or when the user describes a problem and expects a full product development cycle from PRD through implementation. This skill orchestrates a multi-phase workflow using ruflo hive-mind consensus, beads issue tracking, SPARC planning, and verified implementation.

Stress-test a feature design or PRD with diverse simulated user personas. Triggers include "validate this design", "stress test this PRD", "run user validation", "user persona feedback", "design review with personas", or when the user has a design document and wants adversarial feedback before committing to implementation. Runs 5 rounds of iterative refinement with an adversarial Skeptic who actively tries to reject the design.

Improve a document through editorial review by four distinguished editors: FT, The Economist, London Review of Books, and The New Yorker. Uses a ruflo hive-mind where each editor reviews independently, then they debate and synthesize recommendations. Use when the user says "masthead", "editorial review", "improve this document", "make this publishable", or wants rigorous multi-perspective editorial feedback on prose.

Use this skill when the user wants help with iterative management — building management teams that function as organizational feedback systems, improving meeting practices, output clarity, group decision-making, team linkage, or frontline self-sufficiency. Triggers include: "iterate", "iterative management", "management as feedback", "work preview meeting", "output broadcasting", "linked teams", "group decision-making", "frontline self-sufficiency", "OSIR", "VSO", "management practices", "how should I run my staff meeting", "my team isn't aligned", "how do I get better forecasts", "management coaching", "/iterate", or when the user describes management dysfunction like poor meetings, unclear goals, siloed teams, bad forecasts, or decisions that don't get implemented.

Use this skill when the user wants help with project planning, estimation, risk assessment, team composition, or project health diagnosis. Triggers include: "help me plan this project", "review my project plan", "what risks am I missing", "is this estimate realistic", "how should I structure this team", "project health check", "diagnose my project", "what's my Lego", "reference class", "outside view", "/pl", "project leadership", or when the user describes a project situation and seems to need strategic guidance on planning, estimation, delivery, or risk management.

Decision-making coach for structured thinking through high-stakes choices. Trigger on: "help me decide", "I'm facing a decision", "thinking through a choice", "should I [consequential life/career/org decision]", "trade-off", "dilemma", "weighing my options", "walk me through [decision framework]", "pre-mortem", "lead domino", "second-order", decision retrospective, or any request for structured decision-making support on a real choice with real stakes. DO NOT trigger on: routine programming questions, code architecture choices, data structure selection, library comparisons, debugging, or technical implementation decisions unless the user explicitly asks for decision coaching.

Develop rigorous Rumelt strategies through multi-model adversarial debate with GPT and Claude models. Use when user wants to create or refine a strategy document.
