A rough request, repo context, constraints, and the nearest live source files.
Workflow
Turn a raw idea into a shaped ticket
Move from ambition to a buildable slice with a real oracle.
Source: skills/shape/SKILL.md
Choose the smallest buildable slice that still makes the desired end state more true.
A backlog.d item with goal, problem challenge, design, oracle, non-goals, and related work.
If the oracle is weak or the audience is wrong, route back to research or positioning before implementation.
What to verify
- The input exists in live repo or operator evidence, not memory.
- The decision is narrow enough to verify with an oracle.
- The evidence path is captured before closeout.
