What problem does it solve? Specs commit to many decisions silently, and those unrecorded choices become intent debt that teams re-litigate later. This Skill reads a specification end-to-end and emits each material choice as a Henney-style pattern story so humans can review and dispose of them before plan approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-lens decision analysis: Examines specs through forces, alternatives, defaults, patterns, consequences, and coherence lenses to surface choices the author never named. - Structured choice-story output: Writes a YAML-frontmatter record with per-story prose sections to docs/superpowers/stories/<spec-slug>.md, with dispositions left pending for human review. - Routing and validation protocol: Applies a deterministic routing rule to separate decision findings from failure findings (which belong to the diaboli reviewer), and ships a validation checklist covering frontmatter, prose structure, and cross-reference resolution. - Use Case: Before approving a design spec, dispatch this Skill to produce 5-15 choice stories naming inherited defaults, unnamed tradeoffs, and recognized patterns, then have the team mark each as accepted, revisit, or promoted. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the choice cartographer against your spec file and write the resulting choice-story record to docs/superpowers/stories/.
