Write Spec

Create hierarchical mind maps using PlantUML @startmindmap syntax. Best for brainstorming, topic decomposition, study notes, and decision trees with automatic radial layout, left/right branches, and per-node styling.

Plan and review paid-media budgets, bidding, pacing, marginal return, forecasts, CPA, ROAS, MER, LTV:CAC, constraints, and allocation across supported platforms. Use for ad budget allocation, media budget, bidding strategy, scaling, spend pacing, budget forecast, ROAS target, or investment tradeoffs.

Plans, executes, and validates Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster upgrades and maintenance operations for both Standard and Autopilot clusters. Produces upgrade plans, pre/post-upgrade checklists, maintenance runbooks with gcloud commands, release channel strategy, and troubleshooting guides. Handles node pool upgrade strategies (surge, blue-green), version compatibility, PDB management, and workload-specific concerns (stateful, GPU, operators). Use this skill whenever the user mentions GKE upgrades, Kubernetes version bumps, node pool maintenance, GKE patching, cluster version management, release channel selection, maintenance windows, surge upgrades, stuck upgrades, or any GKE lifecycle management task — even casual mentions like "we need to upgrade our clusters" or "plan our next GKE maintenance" or "our upgrade is stuck." Don't use for GKE cluster creation, application onboarding, general networking/routing setup, or security policy configurations (use gke-basics or relevant GK

Run the full autonomous shipping pipeline end-to-end, hands-off with no check-ins: plan, implement, review and fix, commit, push a branch, open a PR, and watch CI to green. Use only when the user explicitly asks to build or ship something autonomously all the way to an open PR, or invokes lfg directly — it pushes and opens a PR without stopping. Not for in-the-loop work where the user reviews each step: use ce-plan to plan, ce-work to implement a plan, ce-debug to fix a bug, or ce-commit-push-pr to commit and open a PR for existing changes.

Build lean, opinionated products using the 37signals philosophy from "Getting Real", "Rework", and "Shape Up". Use when the user mentions "Getting Real", "Rework", "Shape Up", "37signals", "Basecamp method", "six-week cycles", "fixed time variable scope", "appetite vs estimates", "betting table", "breadboarding", "fat marker sketch", "build less", "underdo the competition", "opinionated software", "we have too many meetings", "how do we ship faster", or "stop overbuilding". Also trigger when cutting scope to ship sooner, running a small team, or avoiding long-term roadmaps. Covers shaping, betting, building, and the art of saying no. For MVP validation, see lean-startup. For design sprints, see design-sprint.

Put your AI on a Performance Improvement Plan. Forces exhaustive problem-solving with Western big-tech performance culture rhetoric and structured debugging. Trigger when: (1) task failed 2+ times or stuck tweaking same approach; (2) about to say 'I cannot', suggest manual work, or blame environment without verifying; (3) being passive—not searching, not reading source, just waiting; (4) user frustration: 'try harder', 'stop giving up', 'figure it out', 'again???', or similar. Also for complex debugging, env issues, config/deployment failures. All task types: code, config, research, writing, deployment, infra, API. Do NOT trigger on first-attempt failures or when a known fix is executing.
