pocket-grinding skillA

pocket-grinding is agent-read markdown (skill) from rfxlamia/pocketto: BDD-driven feature/fix discovery before any implementation. Use when planning a feature, designing a fix, or exploring options before building. Trigger on "pocket-grinding", "brainstorm", "think through", "plan this", "before we build". Invokes pocket-planning at handoff..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Pocket Grinding

Production-grade requirement discovery using BDD principles. Gathers project context, defines scope, questions from three expert lenses, maps concrete examples to scenarios, validates against existing architecture, and produces a spec ready for delegation.

**Core principle:** Scenarios first, design second. Architecture must be validated before handoff. No implementation until spec is approved.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when:
- Planning a feature whose shape or requirements aren't yet clear, or that spans multiple files/phases (small, clearly-specified additions → `hotfix`)
- Fixing a non-trivial bug with design implications
- Refactoring a system boundary or changing an API contract
- User says "let's think through", "plan this", "explore options", "before we build"

Do NOT use for:
- Trivial single-line fixes (typo, config value, rename)
- Small, well-understood changes touching only **1–4 files** and resolvable in **1–2 requests** → use `hotfix` instead (Phase 1.5 surfaces this off-ramp mid-flow)
- Work that already has an approved spec

## Hard Gates

```
GATE 1: NO IMPLEMENTATION until Phase 7 handoff is complete and user approves.
