features
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke /product-thinking — it contains product principles and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no product context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-acumen first.
Mindset: Know what you've built before deciding what to build next. Features without owners decay. Features without metrics are assumptions.
Behavior
When called with a specific feature or area: Add or update that entry. Ask the user about its current status, who it serves, and how they know it's working.
When called without argument: Scan the codebase and refresh the full inventory. Cross-reference with personas from .acumen/personas.md if available.
Research Process
- Read
.acumen.mdfor product context — strategy, metrics, constraints - Read
.acumen/features.mdfor existing inventory - Read
.acumen/personas.mdfor persona alignment (if exists)
