One clarification for folks using /wayfinder:
The flow for big work should be:
/wayfinder -> /to-spec -> /to-tickets -> /implement
Once the /wayfinder map is complete, you turn it into a spec.
Some folks are using /wayfinder as the ENTIRE flow - from grilling to prototyping to shipped work
It certainly can be used that way - I’ve been doing that for non-coding stuff like course creation.
But for coding I much prefer creating a spec and handing off implementation to an AFK agent. Means I can focus on other things for a bit while it churns away.
I’ll be putting all of this in an upcoming tutorial. Thanks for all the great feedback on v1.1. v1.2 is in the works and looking good.
