approaches

v0.7.1

Solution-approach deliberation before non-trivial implementation: 2-3 structurally different approaches with trade-offs and a kill-trigger, a strategy catalog mapped to the risk each beats, a four-persona blind opinion round for refactor-shaped tasks — plus the merged pre-code disciplines: build-vs-buy checks, S/M/L/XL estimation, rollout planning, design-pattern selection, and /approaches:consult, a blind stronger-model second opinion when a session is stuck or about to do something irreversible (fresh-take merged in). Includes /approaches:compare, /approaches:opinions, /approaches:build-vs-buy, /approaches:size, /approaches:rollout, /approaches:pattern.

Included Skills4

build-vs-buyskills/build-vs-buy/SKILL.md

Use before implementing any capability that sounds generic — auth, pagination, date/time, queues, search, CSV/PDF, payments, validation, caching, retries — check whether a library, service, or stdlib feature already solves it.

consultskills/consult/SKILL.md

Use when a session is stuck after repeated failed fix attempts, or before an irreversible action (destructive command, schema drop, force-push, history rewrite) — a blind stronger-model consultant returns an independent take, risks, one alternative. Advice only — never blocks.

estimationskills/estimation/SKILL.md

Use when sizing a task, card, or backlog — before committing to scope or sequencing — effort classes against reference anchors instead of optimism, flagging what must be split or spiked first.

rollout-planningskills/rollout-planning/SKILL.md

Use before shipping any user-facing or data-touching change — to plan flags, backward compatibility, staged exposure, and the rollback path while it is still cheap to have one.
