SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Large efforts often exceed what a single agent session can hold, leaving decisions scattered, context lost between sessions, and no shared record of what has been decided. This Skill charts such work as a map of decision tickets on the repo's issue tracker so the route to the destination stays visible across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Map-based planning: Creates a single map issue (labelled wayfinder:map) holding the destination, notes, decisions-so-far index, fog of war, and out-of-scope sections, with child issues as decision tickets. - Typed tickets with frontier tracking: Classifies tickets as research, prototype, grilling, or task (HITL or AFK), uses native tracker blocking to compute the frontier of takeable work, and claims tickets by assignment to avoid concurrent-session conflicts. - Discovery routing: Routes mid-effort findings through four ordered branches — external ownership, sub-ticket, new map, or not-yet-gradeable — with human confirmation before anything is created. - Use Case: You need to plan a data-structure migration too big for one session. Invoke the Skill to grill out the destination, create a map issue with the first decision tickets wired by blocking edges, then resolve one ticket per session until the way is clear. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to chart a map for your loosely defined effort, for example: use wayfinder to plan the authentication redesign as decision tickets on our issue tracker.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan work that is too big for one agent session?▼

Chart it as a map issue on the repo's issue tracker with child decision tickets. Each ticket is sized to one 100K token session, and sessions resolve one ticket at a time until no decisions remain before execution.

What is a decision ticket in issue tracker planning?▼

A decision ticket is a child issue whose resolution is a decision rather than a build slice. It carries a type label — research, prototype, grilling, or task — and its answer is recorded as a resolution comment when closed.

Does wayfinder work with GitLab and GitHub issues?▼

Yes, the map and tickets live on whatever issue tracker the repo uses, with tracker-specific operations documented per tracker. If no tracker is provided, it defaults to a local-markdown tracker managed by a tracker CLI.

How are blocked tickets and the frontier tracked?▼

Blocking uses the tracker's native dependency relationship so the frontier renders visually in the tracker UI. A ticket is unblocked when everything blocking it is closed; the frontier is the open, unblocked, unclaimed children.

When should a discovery become a new map instead of a ticket?▼

When the finding changes premises of open tickets or sits at a different altitude than the current destination. The agent proposes the branch and the human confirms before a new map is chartered.

Can multiple agent sessions work the same map in parallel?▼

Yes, sessions claim tickets by assigning them before starting work, so concurrent sessions skip claimed tickets. Research tickets are the exception to the one-ticket-per-session rule and can run in parallel as subagents.
