ALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks where the project as a whole stands - "where are we", "what's the big picture", "what have we built", "what is in this project", "map the project", "what does this thing even do", "what is stale", "what can we delete", "update the roadmap" - in any language, and whenever a session report has just been written. It keeps one file, BIG-PICTURE.md: what the product is, every feature with how far it got, which parts nobody has touched, and what is queued next. Age and wiring are measured from git; how far a feature got comes from the reports or says "not checked". Where a tracker is connected it offers to open the queue as tickets, after a yes and never before. Never invents work, never deletes code.

# os-big-picture

One file, `BIG-PICTURE.md`, where `os-whats-next` already looks for a backlog.
It answers "where are we now" - not a plan, nothing in it a promise. Write it
in the user's language; paths stay English.

**When to use it.** The user asks where the project stands, or there is no
`BIG-PICTURE.md` yet → the full pass: describe, census, signals, backlog. A
session report was just written → the fold-in: only the rows that session
touched. Both re-measure, because a session that moves no row is the one after
which the dates go quietly stale.

## Step 1 - find the file, and never clobber it
