  "When I was a real developer... Before AI" - I love this. I used to be one of those too.

  I love the /wayfinder skill. However, I did notice one thing: you get the map—which you then work through—relatively quickly. At the same time, /wayfinder immediately determines which tickets can be processed in parallel. I’d be a bit cautious about that. I once had a situation where I was working on two &quot;Grilling&quot; tickets simultaneously. At one point during a grilling session, I was asked a question that I had essentially just answered in the other session. I find it a bit &quot;risky&quot; when the map is so rigidly structured right from the start. Sometimes, discussions within a ticket reveal that other tickets might be obsolete or that the map isn&apos;t complete yet. That’s why my current approach is to handle one ticket at a time—it gives me better control over the map.<br><br>One other small thing came up yesterday: I had a `/prototype` ticket and had the agent work on it. It built a great UI prototype with three variations for me. However, it immediately decided which variation to use and closed the ticket. I brought this up and said that I wanted to make that decision myself. Perhaps the skill is missing a clear instruction stating that the user should make the decision regarding the prototype.

  I think you should name your skills as verbs instead of nouns. Much easier/quick for me to tell claude code &quot;/wayfind our way to this goal&apos; rather than &apos;use the /wayfinder skill to get us to this goal&apos;. Your /grill-me skill already follows that pattern. I&apos;m telling the harness to do a thing for me. /grill-me about x idea or whatver. <br><br>besides all of that, I love your skills repo. been using them pretty heavily for a few months now. thanks for being a part of moving this community forward!

  I&apos;ve been following you for two weeks now, and every skill I&apos;ve picked up along the way, whether it&apos;s Grilling or Teach, has at least doubled my efficiency and productivity. And this skill right here is definitely the ultimate one yet.

  This skill is a must for me now, I just love this. Even made an entire project out of it, which if I managed just myself would have taken much longer with more issues I am sure.

  I can’t wait to test this out! I’ve been manually doing this process for nearly 2 decades :D<br><br>Build small throw away prototypes to remove the fog/ambiguity. “Check the Christmas lights before throwing them onto the house”

  Thanks Matt, I&apos;m planning to apply these to my GTM Engineering work. 😊

  Have been using your skills along building a heavily domain oriented platform completely solo for past 4/5 months. Cannot express the extent to which this skill in particular has changed the game. Especially as majority of the concepts/modules are in a domain I&apos;m not massively familiar with, allows me to build 90% of them. Then, through sharing consultant question docs that i&apos;ve built throughout a map,, the domain expert answers these and I can complete the rest; sometimes without even needing their input with research tickets.<br><br>Thank you 🙏🙏
