blindspot

Find the unknowns before they find the work — a read-only territory pass that surfaces the questions nobody knew to ask, judgment taught before a choice is extracted, and a quiz that catches the user's map up with what actually changed. Use when work enters territory the user calls unfamiliar, when the user is confirming a choice they can't evaluate, or when the user asks what they're missing or wants to be quizzed before accepting built work.

enable

Build one slice at a time with red-before-green tests at the agreed seams and tight feedback loops. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its enablement stage and a slice needs building.

genius

The map of the Working Genius workflow — where each piece of work stands, what to run next, and where genius gaps are hiding.

setup-working-genius

Optional per-repo configuration — pin the work-file directory and verify commands so every stage runs them the same way.

wonder

Question the work before doing it — the interview that turns a raw idea into a confirmed problem statement. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its wonder stage, or when starting the Working Genius flow on a new idea.

discern

Judge the invented options adversarially and choose one, with recorded reasons and kill-reasons. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its discernment stage, or when handed a ready-made plan that deserves an attack before implementation.

domain-glossary

Maintain the project's shared vocabulary in CONTEXT.md — challenge conflicting terms, sharpen fuzzy language, record resolutions inline. Use when a term conflicts with or is missing from the glossary, when a decision names a new concept, or when another skill needs the glossary discipline.

galvanize

Turn the chosen design into mobilized work — a brief, vertical slices with acceptance criteria, and agreed test seams. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its galvanizing stage.

Data & Documents Listed

genius-file

Read and update Working Genius work files. Use when a stage skill needs the work-file discipline, when the user asks what work is in flight or where a piece of work left off, or before resuming any work tracked under .genius/.

invent

Generate structurally different solution options for a wondered problem — diverge now, judge later. Use when a tracked piece of work is at its invention stage.

tenacity

Drive the work to actually-done — fresh verification of every claim, two-axis diff review, cleanup, commit, post-mortem. Use when a tracked piece of work has all slices built and is at its tenacity stage.
