Starter 7

The seven commands worth adding as soon as the tightest 3 feel comfortable.

Use this when

You have run /riff, /launch, and /build a few times and you want to know what to add next. These seven cover the first-week frame — session lifecycle, verification, and one pair for shaping prose.

Skip this when

You have not yet run the three. Start there. Adding seven more skills before the core three feel comfortable is scope creep.

The seven

Each one is a small addition to your existing workflow. You do not need to memorize them — pick the one that fits the moment.

/sprint

Show what is in flight and what is next. Reads project state, open issues, and the active goal doc. Run at session start to orient before you dive in.

/whereami

Snapshot the project state in one glance — phase, active goal, gate progress, freshness. Reads docs/whereami.md. Run this before /sprint if you have been away for a few days.

/session-end

Close the session cleanly. Writes the session log, pushes artifacts, updates whereami. Run this at natural stopping points instead of just closing the window.

/verify

Post-build verification gate. Match the change type to the right check — tests + typecheck + lint + visual review for UI. Run before commit.

/kiss

Two modes. Scope mode compresses what you are shipping. Words mode rewrites vocabulary at grade-8 reading level. Details at /writing/kiss.

/luminary

Browse design lenses — Norman, Cooper, Tufte, Beck, Feathers, and around thirty others. Pick one to shape a decision when the codebase is silent on which direction to take.

/lean-canvas

Nine-box Ash Maurya canvas filled through your personas. Two modes — commercial (revenue = dollars) and growth-loop (revenue = audience + credibility). Names the riskiest belief to validate next.

Where next

Once the seven feel comfortable, the full catalog opens the Community bucket (around 30 more skills) and the Author- your-own bucket (skills for shipping your own contributions).
