Comprehensive product requirements documentation from problem definition through launch planning. Supports both enterprise PRD (full specs, cross-functional alignment) and lean/startup style (hypothesis-driven one-pagers). Framework-agnostic with templates for Agile, Jobs-to-Be-Done, and hybrid approaches. Scaffolds related artifacts including user stories, acceptance criteria, wireframes brief, and technical handoff specs. Triggers on PRD creation, product specs, feature requirements, or product design documentation.

Designs interactive theatrical experiences with branching narratives, audience participation systems, and immersive environmental storytelling.

Design and generate curriculum materials for college composition courses (ENC1101 and similar). Use when creating syllabi, assignment prompts, rubrics, lesson plans, scaffolded writing sequences, peer review guides, or D2L/LMS-formatted content. Triggers on requests for composition pedagogy, writing assignment design, grading criteria, or freshman writing course materials.

Phase 2 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Classifies entities, standardizes attributes, establishes relationships, and designs the access framework. Use when the user invokes phase 2 of an overhaul, asks to "design the taxonomy" or "model the structure", or has completed a landscape audit and is ready to redesign. Consumes phase-1-landscape-report.md; produces phase-2-taxonomy-model.md.

Phase 4 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Purges redundancies, enriches and aligns legacy entities to the new schema, executes phased ingestion into the new environment, and audits integrity. Use when the user invokes phase 4 of an overhaul, asks to "migrate the data" or "ingest into the new system", or has a configured environment ready to accept legacy entities. Consumes phase-3-environment-spec.md; produces phase-4-ingestion-report.md.

Phase 3 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Translates the taxonomy model into objective technical criteria, evaluates candidate mechanisms or frameworks, instantiates the chosen architecture, and programs validation rules. Use when the user invokes phase 3 of an overhaul, asks to "select a system" or "configure the environment", or has a taxonomy model and is ready to choose technology. Consumes phase-2-taxonomy-model.md; produces phase-3-environment-spec.md.

Threads the full five-phase structural-overhaul protocol — landscape discovery, taxonomy design, environment configuration, systemic ingestion, governance evolution — for any substrate the user names. Use when the user requests a structural overhaul, system redesign, or end-to-end restructuring of a documentation system, asset registry, code monorepo, knowledge base, or operational workflow; or when they explicitly invoke the pentaphase methodology. Coordinates handoffs between phase-skills and seats validation gates between phases.

Phase 1 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Inventories assets, maps current flow, identifies friction, and defines value metrics for any substrate. Use when the user invokes phase 1 of an overhaul, requests a baseline audit, asks to "discover the landscape" of a system, or wants to understand current state before redesigning. Produces phase-1-landscape-report.md.

Phase 5 of the pentaphase structural-overhaul protocol. Codifies operational protocols, onboards the ecosystem of participants, programs behavior monitoring, and establishes an iteration cadence so the substrate evolves rather than calcifies. Use when the user invokes phase 5 of an overhaul, asks to "establish governance" or "lock in the protocols", or has completed ingestion and is ready to declare the substrate operational. Consumes phase-4-ingestion-report.md; produces phase-5-governance-charter.md, which closes the protocol.

Surfaces the parallel domain dimensions implicit in a dense or minimal prompt. Use when a user prompt is small on the surface but plainly implies multiple independent domains needing different expertise; when explicitly invoked by the coliseum-orchestrator skill as Phase 1; or when the user asks "what dimensions does this prompt encode" or "what axes does this break into." Produces a named dimension set where each dimension is independently executable and not a paraphrase of another.

Dispatches a composed set of assignment envelopes to domain-expert subagents in parallel, in a single message with multiple Agent tool calls. Enforces the no-pingpong gate via the pingpong-detector agent before any dispatch fires. Use when invoked by the coliseum-orchestrator as Phase 3; when envelopes are already composed and the next step is parallel execution; or when the user asks to "fan out" or "dispatch in parallel." Produces a dispatch log capturing what was sent, when, and where returns land.

Wraps each surfaced dimension as a self-contained 9-section autonomous-work-assignment envelope — scope, context, success criteria, allowed tools, return format, handoff — all the recipient subagent needs to execute without coming back. Use when invoked by coliseum-orchestrator as Phase 2; when dimensions are named and the next step is to make each independently dispatchable; or when the user asks "compose this as an assignment." The no-pingpong gate validates each envelope before dispatch.
