Capture or review how this project connects to external systems (GitHub, AWS, npm, SSH, etc.) so future sessions know the auth recipe. Auto-detection hook logs candidate captures to an inbox; this skill promotes them to permanent recipes in `.planning/AUTH-RECIPES.md` and optionally to user-global memory at `~/.claude/auth-recipes/`.
tools
Initialize a new project using Documentation-Driven Development. Research, then write user-facing docs (SPEC.md) as the spec, then user validates docs, then phases derive from doc sections. Best for CLIs, libraries, SDKs, APIs, plugin systems, anything with a well-defined user-facing surface.
tools
Plan an MVP-mode phase — captures an "As a / I want to / So that" user story, runs SPIDR splitting, then delegates to plan-phase
testing
Extract decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises from completed phase artifacts
