Product & Design Skills

Box the slice and hand it across the counter — push, open PR, watch CI (auto-fix on red), merge on approval, sync main, cleanup branches and worktrees.

EXPERIMENTAL. After-service retro — review how recent stages and skills executed, identify systemic friction patterns, draft targeted improvement PRs against the plugin. Bookends /setup-shop.

Cook the pre-made pies before the shop opens — transform a PRD into an ordered roadmap of 20–30 vertical-slice feature stages. Each plan file is one cooked pie sitting in the display case for customers to grab a slice of.

Create the day's pre-made pizza menu — turn a project brief into a structured 8-section PRD with phased implementation guidance.

Install the quality line every pie passes through before going on display — wire CI/CD, E2E testing, design-system compliance, and visual-regression gates. Run once before /sell-slice; also invocable standalone on any project.

Walk the display tray and eyeball every pie that's already on display — a cross-cutting, platform-wide visual walkthrough of a running web app. Catches what's broken, mocked, or empty across the WHOLE product, not just the latest slice. Read-only. Use before UAT, before a demo, after a batch of /box-it-up runs, or any time the checklist and reality have drifted.

Doors unlocked, lights flipped, OPEN sign up — scan environment requirements and verify all external service credentials are populated. The most HITL-heavy prep step; the operator personally stocks the cash drawer. Run once before /sell-slice; also invocable standalone.

EXPERIMENTAL. Open → service → close on autopilot. Drive your entire phased plan to completion in one session (supervised by default).

Bake a whole Pie autonomously — the v5 forefront delivery loop. A /loop-driven baker that drives ONE Pie (a coherent 3–8-slice chapter) to "ready for review" without per-slice prompting; each slice runs the context-separated build→test→verify→fix Workflow, commits + pushes (no PR), and advances; when every slice is [x] it stops at the pie boundary and opens one PR via /box-it-up. Refuses flat v4 checklists (points you at /cook-pizzas --repie). For a continuous-review pie (review=continuous) it runs in high-touch /sell-slice mode. The four blocking HITL categories halt the loop instead of rescheduling. Use when the user runs /sell-pie, says "sell a pie", "bake the pie", "run the next pie", "loop the pie", or wants one whole chapter delivered hands-off. For a single careful slice use /sell-slice; for the whole roadmap use /run-the-day.

Sell a customer their slice — the everyday delivery loop. Execute one stage from your master checklist: spec review, implementation, testing, gates, commit. Run me repeatedly, one fresh chat per slice.

Build the display case the pies will sit in — bootstrap your design system: tokens, Tailwind config, design rules, and the operator-only /library preview route. Run once before /sell-slice; also invocable standalone on any project.

Start the oven, check ingredients, prep the shop. Bootstrap a new project or configure ByTheSlice in an existing one. First-time install, system-wide config, or per-project setup.

Cook a slice with the customer's specifications on the spot — add new features mid-flight to an existing project. Auto-detects project type and extends the master checklist with new stages.
