ctx:architect
Systematic architecture analysis following Understand → Research → Specify → Decompose → Plan workflow. Use for system design, solution evaluation, build vs buy decisions, and task decomposition. Activate when users say "design", "architect", "break down", "best approach", or "should I build".
Product Strategist
Validate product-market fit and strategic direction. Use when defining new products, validating problem-solution fit, prioritizing features, or making build-vs-buy decisions. Focuses on discovery and validation before development.
ai-vendor-evaluation
Comprehensive framework for evaluating AI vendors and solutions to avoid costly mistakes. Use this skill when assessing AI vendor proposals, conducting due diligence, evaluating contracts, comparing vendors, or making build-vs-buy decisions. Helps identify red flags, assess pricing models, evaluate technical capabilities, and conduct structured vendor comparisons.
startup-wisdom
Apply startup execution wisdom to product, strategy, and business decisions. Use for feature prioritization, build-vs-buy decisions, go-to-market planning, pricing, hiring, scope/timeline reality checks, or when evaluating whether an idea has product-market fit potential.
prd-v05-technical-stack-selection
Determine technologies needed to build the product, making build/buy/integrate decisions during PRD v0.5 Red Team Review. Triggers on requests to select tech stack, evaluate technologies, make build vs. buy decisions, or when user asks "what technologies?", "select tech stack", "build or buy?", "technical decisions", "what tools do we need?", "evaluate solutions". Consumes FEA- (features), SCR- (screens), RISK- (constraints). Outputs TECH- entries with decisions, rationale, and trade-offs. Feeds v0.6 Architecture Design.
startup-wisdom
Apply startup execution wisdom to product, strategy, and business decisions. Use for feature prioritization, build-vs-buy decisions, go-to-market planning, pricing, hiring, scope/timeline reality checks, or when evaluating whether an idea has product-market fit potential.
chain-estimation-decision-storytelling
Use when making high-stakes decisions under uncertainty that require stakeholder buy-in. Invoke when evaluating strategic options (build vs buy, market entry, resource allocation), quantifying tradeoffs with uncertain outcomes, justifying investments with expected value analysis, pitching recommendations to decision-makers, or creating business cases with cost-benefit estimates. Use when user mentions "should we", "ROI analysis", "make a case for", "evaluate options", "expected value", "justify decision", or needs to combine estimation, decision analysis, and persuasive communication.
programming-advisor
Build vs Buy advisor. Use when users say: 'I want to build...', 'Help me create...', 'Can you code...', 'I need a tool/app/script'. Searches for existing libraries, SaaS, and open source solutions before vibe coding. Estimates token costs and provides comparison tables.
cost-estimator
Infrastructure and development cost estimation for technical projects. Use when planning budgets, evaluating build vs buy decisions, or projecting TCO for architecture choices.
