- stryx:pov→You want one firm verdict for this project: adopt it or not, switch or stay.
- stryx:bakeoff→When two or more very different approaches must each be drafted before you can choose.
- stryx:strategy→When the product needs its STRATEGY.md: what it is, who it is for, what it will not do.
- stryx:ai-power→When you are not sure which skill fits, or you say "load aipower": it is the map of all skills.
- stryx:taskmaster→When an agreed spec must become a step-by-step plan, a roadmap or a sprint.
