This is the most common confusion:
Still figuring it out? → cw-brainstorming
You've decided and it's ready to show someone? → cw-official-docs
→ cw-brainstorming (exploring, not finalized yet)
→ cw-official-docs (decided and ready to document)
→ cw-brainstorming (planning/exploring)
→ cw-prose-writing (actually writing)
→ cw-story-critique (getting feedback)
→ cw-official-docs if finalized, cw-brainstorming if still exploring
→ cw-official-docs (creating wiki/documentation)
→ cw-brainstorming (exploring)
→ cw-official-docs (documenting finalized)
→ cw-brainstorming (working through chronology)
→ cw-style-skill-creator first (create style skill), then cw-prose-writing

You can use multiple skills in combination:
Skills are composable - use whatever combination helps.
Default rules:
When in doubt, start with brainstorming. You can always move to docs later when things are decided.
tools
Use when orienting in an unfamiliar area — fans out exploration across structure, knowledge, and history, then synthesizes one orientation map.
development
Load when building a static HTML artifact — single page or multi-page site — to make structured information explorable through layout and navigation.
testing
User-invoked pause before reporting to check intent vs literal completion, surface adjacent wins, and route knowledge capture.
development
Use when exploring or changing the codebase: read AGENTS.md first, use .context/CONTEXT.md for detail, keep intent docs succinct.
