What problem does it solve? Teams running kanban (continuous flow) or phased (discovery/design/build/launch) delivery presets have no sprint timebox or Shape Up cycle to plan against, so sprint-style velocity math and batch commitments produce broken planning artifacts. This Skill provides the correct planning model for those presets. ## Core Features & Use Cases - WIP Limit Reasoning: Set, interpret, and respond to work-in-progress limits as flow-diagnostic tools rather than walls, including what a breach signals and why raising the limit re-hides the problem. - Rolling Commitment Planning: Replace batch sprint commits with a pull policy where the team commits to finishing the top item of the ranked Story Queue one slot at a time. - Phase-Gate Semantics: Define explicit entry/exit criteria per phase, propose gate crossings via the Story phase field, and detect when gates have degraded into calendar deadlines. - Use Case: A kanban team with WIP limit 3 and one free slot asks what to plan next; the Skill directs pulling the top-ranked ready story, committing to finish it, and leaving the rest of the queue untouched. ## Quick Start Ask the planner to plan the next iteration for a kanban or phased preset team, naming the current WIP count and the ranked ready queue.
