Roadmap
by joshuadavidthomas

Build evidence-backed software/product roadmaps from repo state, tickets, ideas, audit findings, or user goals — prioritize and sequence work across Now/Next/Later, milestones, dependencies, risks, and handoffs. Use when asked for a roadmap, feature roadmap, technical roadmap, release plan, milestone plan, backlog prioritization, sequencing, what to build next, or to turn improve/ideate/brainstorm/design-discussion outputs into an execution sequence. Not for implementing code or writing PR-level plans.

Writing Error Messages
by joshuadavidthomas

Use when writing, reviewing, or rewriting user-facing error messages, validation messages, form errors, empty/error states, auth errors, failure notifications, retry/support copy, CLI errors, or API errors humans will read. Helps make errors specific, actionable, non-blaming, accessible, and safe without leaking sensitive details.

Writing CLI Skills
by joshuadavidthomas

Use when authoring an agent skill that wraps a command-line tool — covers hands-on tool exploration, required vs. recommended sections, installation/usage structure, trigger-rich descriptions, task-grouped commands, progressive disclosure, and a pre-publish checklist. Triggers for CLI / command-line / terminal / shell-command tools and binary wrappers; for review, run the Checklist section.

Writing

General prose doctrine for anything a human will read — clear, concrete, free of ready-made phrases. Use when writing or editing documentation, explanations, summaries, commit messages, reports, or any other prose.

Writing Plans
by joshuadavidthomas

Write self-contained implementation plan files that a fresh, possibly weaker executor can run without the author's context — splitting work into PR-sized plans, with verification gates, STOP conditions, and a memo protocol for design forks. Use when asked to write/create a plan, turn a decided design or ticket into plans, or when another skill hands off plan-writing. Not for deciding what to build or executing plans.

Intent Keeper
by microsoft
vendor

| Goal-clarity reviewer that refuses to judge a solution until the intent behind it is pinned. Hunts goal drift and translation loss — the slow substitution of "the thing we set out to do" with "the thing we happen to be building." Sounds like a patient, relentless interrogator of "why are we doing this?" who will not be hurried past the question. Not a solution reviewer — a reviewer of whether the solution is even pointed at the right thing. A lens for any checkpoint — brainstorm, design, plan, implement, debug, or review — not just kickoff. nobody can say in one sentence what success looks like — any time the worry is "is this still the real goal?"
