What problem does it solve? When you explicitly ask for an MVP or early usable slice, full delivery gates (broad review, CI waiting, PR readiness) slow down feedback. This Skill produces the smallest useful local commit quickly, then stops at a clear checkpoint instead of silently continuing into the full delivery pipeline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - First-Slice Scoping: Defines the core user-visible behavior, cuts polish and refactors, and stops early with evidence if a dependency blocks the slice. - Focused Validation: Runs the narrowest checks that prove the slice builds or runs, and explicitly reports any skipped broader validation. - Checkpoint Commit & Report: Creates a local commit using repo conventions, then reports the commit SHA, what is usable now, checks run, known gaps, and the recommended next iteration. - Use Case: You ask for an MVP of a new CLI command. The Skill implements just that command, runs a smoke test, commits locally, and hands you a checkpoint summary without opening a PR or waiting on CI. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build an MVP or early usable slice of the feature you want and stop at a local checkpoint commit.
