SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires br, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows for quick, temporary exploration and experimentation without the overhead of a formal audit trail, ideal for proof-of-concept work and research spikes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ephemeral Flows: Create temporary "wisp" flows for short-term tasks.
  • No Audit Trail: Designed for discarding or promoting, with no persistent record of the exploration itself.
  • Low Ceremony: Minimizes process requirements during the exploration phase.
  • Use Case: You have a novel idea for a feature and want to quickly prototype it without committing to a full development cycle. You create a wisp, explore the idea, and then decide whether to promote it to a formal flow or discard it.

Quick Start

Create an ephemeral exploration flow for the idea of 'integrating a new charting library'.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prototype a new feature idea without creating a persistent audit trail?

To prototype a feature without an audit trail, you can use an ephemeral exploration flow. It allows you to rapidly test proof-of-concept ideas and discard them entirely without leaving a persistent record of the exploration.

What is the best way to manage temporary research spikes with low ceremony?

The best way to manage temporary research spikes with low ceremony is by creating a wisp flow. This minimizes process requirements during exploration and provides a structured directory for notes and findings.

How do I promote a temporary exploration task to a formal development flow?

To promote a temporary exploration task to a formal flow, you use the resolve options provided by the wisp. After exploring your prototype, you can promote the temporary task to a formal flow or discard it entirely.

Do I need the 'br' dependency to manage ephemeral exploration flows?

Yes, you need the 'br' dependency to manage ephemeral exploration flows. The Skill utilizes 'br' commands for underlying task management when creating, updating, and resolving temporary exploration tasks.

When should I avoid using ephemeral flows for prototyping?

You should avoid using ephemeral flows for prototyping when you need a permanent audit trail of your research process. This approach is designed for discarding or promoting, retaining no persistent record of the exploration itself.
