SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Phase 0-8 strategy mapping requires alignment on a single thesis and clear commitment. This skill generates three mutually-exclusive futures grounded in research, each with a love-letter and a concrete next move for the agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

Grounded futures: three mutually-exclusive paths that execute one thesis, each with its own love-letter and next move for your agent.
Phase-anchored analysis: ties futures to the current state and Phase 4 grounding to produce a defensible strategy map.
Visualization-ready output: provides structured frontmatter blocks and a human-readable map for rapid decision-making.

Quick Start

Invoke the improbably futures skill with a repo path or inline pitch to generate three mutually exclusive futures and a strategy map.
