How it works

When your agent uses it

Turn a raw product idea into build-ready docs — one doc per EPIC with locked decisions, exact API contracts, a story-by-story priority plan, and an execute.md handoff Claude can build from across sessions. Gets the clarity by interrogating the user through a roster of expert personas that grill, counter, and refuse to flatter. Use to ideate, validate, scope, architect, or plan a product, feature, startup, or app before any code is written. Invoke by persona name or acronym to summon one expert, or with no argument to run the full lifecycle end to end.

# kimchi

Run a product from idea → build-ready docs by **grilling the user**, not flattering
them. The user summons expert personas one at a time. Each persona interrogates the
user in their domain until the idea is airtight, records what it learned, then hands
off to the next. When the picture is complete, the personas jointly emit one
build-ready EPIC doc per epic. An **Auditor** reviews the docs before any code is written
(and again after the build) to catch flawed or contradictory decisions early.

The point is friction — a product that survives eleven experts trying to break it is
worth building, and it's cheap to find out here.

**Invoking this skill authorizes dispatching personas as subagents** where the roster
below marks them research-mode or cross-consulting calls for one; no further permission
