nw-jtbd-workflow-selection SKILL.md skillA

nw-jtbd-workflow-selection from nwave-ai/nwave is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-jtbd-workflow-selection@git:20260609.c723548

Pins git:20260609.c723548 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

JTBD workflow classification and routing - ODI two-phase framework, five job types with workflow sequences, baseline type selection, workflow anti-patterns, and common recipes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# JTBD Workflow Selection

Classify incoming work by job type and recommend the appropriate nWave workflow entry point. Use during Phase 1 (GATHER) to triage before crafting stories.

## ODI Two-Phase Framework

Determine which phase applies before proceeding.

**Phase 1: Discovery** -- when you do not know what to build

```
[research] --> discuss --> design --> distill
    |            |           |          |
GATHER        WHAT are    HOW should  WHAT does
evidence      the needs?  it work?    "done" look like?
```

**Phase 2: Execution Loop** -- when you know what needs to change

```
[research] --> baseline --> roadmap --> split --> execute --> review
    |            |            |           |          |          |
GATHER        MEASURE      PLAN it     BREAK it   DO each    CHECK
evidence      first        completely  into atoms  task       quality
                                          |
                              <-----------+ (loop per task)
```

Key insight: `research` is a cross-wave capability invocable at any point for evidence-based decisions.

### When to Skip Discovery

Skip discovery and enter execution loop directly when ALL hold:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-jtbd-workflow-selection@sha256:8d3bc56f988713b7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260609.c723548, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
