exploratory-charter-author

Overview

A charter is the structured-but-open frame of an SBTM session: it tells the tester what to learn, not what to click. This skill is the authoring workflow - from a raw input (spec, diff, incident) to a filled charter card. The card format itself, the session vocabulary, and the time-box rationale are owned by exploratory-testing; the ready-to-fill card is its references/charter-template.md. This workflow fills that template - it does not redefine it.

Input: a feature spec / story, a diff / changeset, a bug cluster / incident postmortem, or a backlog item labeled "needs exploration." Output: a charter card the tester executes and reports against.
