New Skills! v1.1 brings /wayfinder, /research, /implement, /to-spec, /to-tickets

YouTube · YouTube

v1.1 release of the mattpocock/skills package — the first major version bump since the initial release. Key additions: /wayfinder (graduated from in-progress; planning tool for large, multi-session efforts with tracker-native blocking and HITL/AFK classification), /research (background agent for primary-source investigation, returning cited Markdown notes), /implement (full implementation cycle complement to /code-review), /to-spec (renamed from /to-prd, “spec” is now the single through-line term), /to-tickets (merges /to-plan + /to-issues into vertical-slice tickets with blocking-edge declarations).
/wayfinder is the headline feature: it moves the planning map off a local Markdown file onto the repo’s issue tracker — a single wayfinder:map issue whose tickets are its child issues. Pocock describes using it for four consecutive days planning an entire course, closing in on 100 grilling/prototyping/research sessions all contributing back to a central map that grows as you learn and shrinks as you find answers.
/code-review now uses a fixed “Fowler smell baseline” (~12 named code smells: Mysterious Name, Duplicated Code, Feature Envy, etc.) as a standards reference — the “Martin Fowlerized” version Pocock previewed in the July 3 journal run is now shipped.
/grilling gets a confirmation gate before plan enactment and separates facts (codebase exploration) from decisions (human input required) — making the human-in-the-loop boundary explicit.
