/wayfinder: Nothing is too big to plan anymore

• Dedicated deep-dive on /wayfinder, previously mentioned only in passing in the July 8 skills-changelog video — positions it as a “big-idea on-ramp” for efforts too large and foggy to spec in a single sitting.
• Core mechanism: figures out the frontier of decisions that can be made right now, uncovers the route ahead incrementally as work proceeds, and runs research/prototyping/discussion sessions along the way rather than requiring an upfront full spec.
• Maintains a living map in an issue tracker of the user’s choice (GitHub, Linear, etc.) — a single parent issue whose children are the tickets, growing as new unknowns surface and shrinking as questions get answered.
• Positions it as the next evolution of /grill-me//grill-with-docs, now acting as an orchestrator over the top of them rather than a replacement invoked standalone.
• Practical takeaway: reach for /wayfinder specifically when an effort exceeds what one agent session can hold and the destination is still foggy — Pocock reports using it to plan an entire course over four days and ~100 grilling/prototyping/research sessions, and says it’s revolutionized his planning even outside of coding.
